Wax melts or fragrance oils – what’s the difference?

Both wax melts and fragrance oils are used to scent your home, but they work in different ways and offer different benefits.

• Wax melts – solid scented wax that releases fragrance when heated
• Fragrance oils – liquid scents used in diffusers or burners

Wax melts are known for their strong and long-lasting scent, while fragrance oils offer more control over intensity and usage.
