How To Get The Strongest Scent Throw From Your Wax Melts
Share
Want your wax melts to smell stronger and last longer?
Getting the best scent throw from your wax melts is easy when you follow a few simple tips. Here’s how to maximise fragrance every time you melt.
What Is Scent Throw?
Scent throw is how strong your wax melt smells when it’s warming in your burner.
There are two types:
- Cold throw – how it smells before melting
- Hot throw – how strong it smells when heated
Hot throw is what fills your room with fragrance.
Use The Right Wax Burner
Your burner makes a huge difference.
For the strongest scent throw:
- Use a standard 4-hour tealight burner
- Avoid very deep dishes
- Make sure the wax fully melts across the top
Flame heat often gives a stronger scent than low-powered electric warmers.
Don’t Overfill The Burner
Using too much wax can actually reduce performance.
1–2 cubes is usually perfect depending on burner size.
Too much wax can dilute heat and reduce scent release.
Let The Wax Fully Pool
Allow the melt to liquify fully across the dish before blowing out your tealight.
This ensures even fragrance release and prevents wasted wax.
Room Size Matters
Larger open spaces naturally reduce scent strength.
For bigger rooms:
- Use two burners
- Keep windows closed while melting
- Position burner centrally
When To Change Your Wax
If your melt no longer smells strong while melted, it’s time to replace it.
Once fragrance oils have fully evaporated, adding more heat won’t bring the scent back.
Following these simple tips will help you get the strongest, longest-lasting scent throw from your wax melts.
