Wax Melt Fragrance Tips (UK Makers)
To get the most out of your fragrance oils in wax melts:
👉 Use the right fragrance load — most wax melt makers use between 6–10% fragrance oil by weight of wax for optimal scent throw without sweating or separation.
👉 Test small batches first — aerosols, colours and oil densities vary, so small test batches help you refine your mixes.
👉 Blend to create unique signature scents, mixing complementary oils like citrus + floral or gourmand + spice to build your own signature wax melt range.
