Wax Melts Explained: How They Work and Why We Love Them
If you love beautiful home fragrance, you've probably come across wax melts - those small, elegant pieces of scented wax that fill a room with warmth and fragrance. But what exactly are they, and how do they work? At Tillybell, we create every melt to deliver long-lasting scent, clean performance, and pure indulgence.
What Are Wax Melts?
Wax melts are pieces of scented wax designed to be gently warmed rather than burned. When placed in a wax warmer or burner, the wax slowly melts and releases its fragrance into the air, eliminating the need for a wick or flame. This makes them a safe, stylish, and flame-free alternative to candles.
How Do Wax Melts Work?
When the wax is warmed, its fragrance oils are gently heated and begin to evaporate, releasing beautiful scent molecules into your home. Unlike candles, wax melts don't burn away - the wax holds and releases the fragrance until it's used up. Once the scent fades, you replace it with a new melt.
The Tillybell® Difference
Every Tillybell wax melt is hand-poured in County Durham using a clean, sustainable coconut wax blend. We pair it with UK-manufactured fragrance oils that are vegan, cruelty-free, and expertly balanced for exceptional scent throw. Each melt is cured slowly for consistent quality, smooth melting, and a fragrance that lasts long after the first use.
How to Use Wax Melts
Place one or two melts in the dish of your wax burner and use either a tea light below or an electric warmer. Within minutes, the fragrance will fill the room. When you're finished, allow the wax to cool and harden before replacing it. It's simple, safe, and a beautiful ritual for any space.
Why Choose Wax Melts?
Wax melts are perfect for anyone who loves rich, long-lasting fragrance but prefers a flame-free option. Our wax melts are eco-friendly, affordable, and ideal for exploring multiple scents. And with Tillybell, you know every melt is made with care - from the ingredients we source to the way we pour, cure, and pack each order by hand.
