Less is More! You’ve probably heard this saying many times. Well, it’s true when talking about wax warmers. We often get asked “how long does your wax cubes last?”
This is a hard question to answer, as there are many contributing factors. We test all our fragrances using a 25 watt bulb warmer and a tea light warmer. Placement is key. Keep your warmer away from fans and drafts.
I used to think it would help circulate the aroma, but that is not the case. I also used to think that I would increase the scent throw by adding additional wax to “old” wax to “freshen it up”. That doesn’t work. Always empty your wax when the scent has fully evaporated.
So we’re back to the question “how long does your wax cubes last?” We average approximately 16 hours for two cubes in a 25 watt warmer. Believe it or not, we get an awesome throw from our little tea light warmer.
Our wax melts are heavily scented because this particular form of wax will hold more fragrance oil than the candles. So a little goes a long way. Some fragrances are so strong that we have to turn off our electric warmer after an hour or so.
Other fragrances are naturally lighter and provide a subtle aroma without “smacking you in the face”.
An entire bar can last 50-80 hours depending on the scent notes in the fragrance, so one cube last 6.25-10 hours. You can make your wax retain scent longer if you only warm it to the point your room is filled with scent, and then turn it off. Also, when your cube is all out of fragrance, be sure to remove the unscented wax from your warmer before adding new wax – since the unscented wax will dilute the fragrance in the new cube and the scent will last a shorter amount of time.
