What is a scented wax?

Scented wax is a vegetable or mineral wax with the addition of aromatic oils. Such a wax is placed in an aromatherapy fireplace and after melting, the wax begins to release a beautiful fragrance in the room. After a certain period of time, the wax loses its fragrance - then comes the moment to replace the wax with a new one. Interesting and very easy to use are waxes made of pure palm wax in the form of scented sand.

What are the types of scented waxes and which fireplace wax to choose?

Scented waxes come in different sizes and are created from different raw materials. We can find waxes made of paraffin wax, like waxes Yankee Candle and Kringle Candle, as well as waxes made from natural plant wax, such as soy wax brand Purple River. There are also waxes with pure essential oils, such as the fragrance waxes from the brand's Essential Elements collection Candle-lite.

Paraffin wax scented waxes have a slower dissolution in the fireplace than vegetable wax scented waxes. Fragrance waxes made from plant waxes dissolve faster and do not crumble like paraffin wax fragrances. The durability of the fragrance depends on the brand and ranges from a few hours even to tens of hours for a single piece. We can dose the intensity of the fragrance on our own, simply by placing more wax in the fragrance fireplace (some manufacturers give a recommended amount of wax, such as one cube or 1/3 of a package). If you are unsure of the amount of scented wax to put in the fireplace to start, our advisors in the stationary showrooms and advisors in the online store will be happy to help you.

If our collection of scented waxes begins to grow, we recommend choosing waxes in practical, resealable packaging (plastic or glass), as they are easier and more convenient to store.

Scented waxes are one of the easiest ways to enrich the interior with a beautiful fragrance that introduces an atmosphere of relaxation and coziness. To take full advantage of their potential, it's worth knowing a few rules and tricks for using scented waxes.
