1. Choose Your Wax Melt

Select your favourite fragrance from the Tillybell collection. Break off one or two segments, depending on the size of your burner dish.

2. Prepare Your Wax Burner

There are two main types of wax burners: electric and tealight. Each one works differently, but both will release the same beautiful fragrance when used correctly.

Electric Wax Burner

Place the burner on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from flammable items, direct sunlight, or drafts. Plug it in and ensure it's on a safe, dry surface out of reach of children and pets.

Tealight Wax Burner

Position the tealight burner on a stable, heatproof surface. Insert an unscented 4-hour tealight into the base. Avoid larger tealights, as they can overheat the wax dish.

3. Add Your Wax Melt

Remove the wax melt from its packaging and place it in the top dish of your burner. Do not overfill - just enough to cover the base. Overfilling may cause wax to spill or burn unevenly.

4. Turn On the Burner

Electric Burners

Switch on your burner and allow it to warm gently. Within minutes, the wax will melt and start to release its fragrance evenly throughout the room.

Tealight Burners

Light your tealight candle with a long match or lighter, then carefully place it in the holder. The heat will gradually melt the wax above, releasing its scent as it warms.

5. Enjoy the Fragrance

As your wax melts, the fragrance will fill your space with a clean, lasting aroma. Each Tillybell melt typically lasts several hours before the scent fades. Once the fragrance has softened, allow the wax to cool before replacing it.

6. Turn Off and Clean Up

Electric Burners

When finished, switch off the burner and unplug it. Let it cool completely before cleaning or adding new wax.

Tealight Burners

Use a snuffer to extinguish the tealight, or gently blow it out. Wait until both the wax and dish have cooled before removing the old wax.

7. Removing Used Wax

Once the wax has cooled and hardened, gently press one side of the dish - the wax should slide out in one piece. If it doesn't, warm the base slightly for a few seconds, then remove carefully. Wipe the dish clean with a paper towel before adding a new melt.

8. Storing Wax Melts

Keep your melts in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Proper storage helps preserve their fragrance for a longer period. Always store out of reach of children and pets.

Enjoy the Tillybell Experience

That's it - simple, safe, and beautifully fragrant. With Tillybell wax melts, you can enjoy high-end scenting without flames, fuss, or smoke. A little care and patience make every melt an effortless touch of luxury.
