Wax melts have taken the home fragrance world by storm – and for good reason! If you’re new to them, a wax melt is a wick-less, scented piece of wax that releases fragrance when gently warmed. Our natural soy Waxing Moons are designed to create an instant, immersive scent experience, and we want you to get the absolute most from them.
How to Use a Wax Melt
First things first, you need a burner. There are two main types:
Tealight burners
A classic choice if you’ve ever warmed essential oils over a small flame. Affordable and easy to find.
Electric burners
Flame-free, steady heat, and perfect if you want a slow, controlled scent release.
Place your wax melt in the burner dish. Light your tealight or switch on your electric burner, and watch as your Waxing Moon slowly melts into a fragrant pool. The aroma will hit your space instantly giving you a stunning burst of scent every time.
What to Do When the Fragrance Fades
Wax melts aren’t like candles – the wax itself doesn’t evaporate. Over time, the fragrance will naturally fade, leaving un-fragranced wax behind.
When this happens:
- Let the wax cool slightly.
- Remove it with a tissue or cotton wool ball (Careful: it will still be warm).
- Pop in a fresh Waxing Moon for a new wave of fragrance.
Pro tip: If you burn WYLDE MOON melts for just an hour or two at a time, you can light, extinguish, and relight them multiple times without affecting the scent payoff.
How Long Will Your Wax Melts Last?
Fragrance longevity depends on your burner:
Electric burners
Gentle, consistent heat that releases scent slower, over a longer period.
Tealight burners
Flame size and intensity control how quickly the fragrance releases. Smaller tealights, further from the dish, create a slower, gentler scent experience. Larger, hotter flames closer to the wax dish release the fragrance faster and more intensely.
The key: Gentler heat = Longer-lasting fragrance.

Extra Tips to Make Your Wax Melts Shine
Keep your burner clean
Residual wax can dull the fragrance. A quick wipe between melts keeps each burn fresh.
Experiment with placement
Burner height and material affect scent diffusion. Ceramic or glass dishes often release fragrance beautifully.
