If you’re a fan of scented candles, you’ve probably heard of wax melts. But what are they, and how do they compare to candles?
In this article, we’ll explore the differences between wax melts and candles, as well as the benefits of using wax melts.
What are Wax Melts?
Wax melts are small pieces of wax that are melted in a wax warmer to release fragrance. Unlike candles, they don’t have a wick and are not burned. Instead, they rely on heat from a warmer to melt the wax and release the scent. The wax melts come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and can be reused until the scent is gone.
FRAGRANCE
One of the most prominent differences between wax melts is the scent. Wax melts are infused with fragrance blends that give them their unique aromas, similar to candles. However, wax melt are heated more evenly which help release the fragrance consistently and preserve it longer.
The Dalayla Candle Co. does not use any harmful chemicals or ingredients in its scented wax melts. All products are free from paraffin, paraben, and other potentially harmful ingredients that could cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm.
SAFETY
When it comes to safety, wax melts have the upper hand over candles. Unlike candles, wax melts are flameless, making them a safer choice for homes with small children, pets, or the elderly. Candles pose a fire hazard, and leaving a lit candle unattended on a level, fire-resistant surface away from flammable objects, kids, and pets is crucial to prevent accidents. With scented wax melts, you don’t have to worry about wandering flames, dangling objects, or curious pets and kids.
Another common issue with candles, particularly those made with paraffin wax, is soot. Even the most cautious candle lovers may experience soot on nearby surfaces or black smoke coming from the candle flame. This can cause problems for individuals with asthma or other sensitivities. Wax melts used in an electric wax warmer are flameless, and there are no concerns about soot.
CONTROL, CONVENIENCE & VERSATILITY
Wax melts offer a great deal of control and versatility in terms of fragrance strength and scent combinations. You can melt as many or as few wax melt cubes as you want for your space, no matter how big or small it is. If you want a milder scent, you can use just a few wax melts from our Wax Fancy collection, and if you want a stronger fragrance, just increase the quantity or opt for larger Wax Pucks. You can also mix and match different scents to create unique fragrance combinations.

Wax melts are more convenient than candles. Once you pop one or two pieces of wax into your wax melt warmer, you can leave it on for as much or as little time as you want. Additionally, you’ll usually notice the scent within a few minutes compared to the roughly 30 minutes to one hour it might take for some candles to fill a room. If you feel like lighting a candle but are not sure if you can commit to keeping it lit for several hours, wax melts are the solution.
AFFORDABILITY
Wax melts are less expensive than candles, making them an excellent choice for those who want to try out new scents. For example, our Wax Bar collection starts at only 150 THB! Once you invest in a wax warmer, you can try out many different scents without breaking the bank.
