Choosing a wax melt sounds easy.

🍰 Sweet & Bakery Scents

If you love walking into a bakery and smelling freshly baked cakes, cookies and sweet treats, you're probably going to love sweet wax melts.

These fragrances are perfect for:

• Cosy evenings

• Autumn and winter

• Living rooms

• Kitchens

• Movie nights

• Creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere

Think vanilla, cake, caramel, chocolate, coffee and other deliciously sweet fragrances.

They're particularly gorgeous during the colder months when you're spending more time at home.

🧺 Fresh & Clean Fragrances

Prefer your home to smell fresh and clean?

Look for fragrances inspired by:

• Fresh linen

• Clean cotton

• Laundry

• Fresh air

• Citrus

• Spa fragrances

Fresh fragrances are particularly lovely for bathrooms, bedrooms and kitchens.

They're also perfect after you've finished cleaning the house.

There's nothing quite like finishing the cleaning, putting a fresh wax melt on and sitting down knowing your whole home smells gorgeous.

🍓 Fruity Wax Melts

Fruity scents are perfect if you want something fun, sweet and noticeable.

Think:

• Strawberry

• Raspberry

• Cherry

• Blueberry

• Mango

• Passionfruit

• Apple

• Tropical fruits

Fruity fragrances are brilliant all year round and are particularly popular if you prefer something bright and uplifting rather than a heavy fragrance.

With so many fragrances available at Scented Aromas, there's always something new to try.

Try a woody or musky fragrance.

These tend to have deeper, warmer fragrance notes and can include scents inspired by:

• Sandalwood

💗 Perfume-Inspired Fragrances

If you already have a favourite perfume, why not bring a similar fragrance into your home?

Perfume-inspired wax melts can give your home that luxurious fragrance feeling without needing to spray perfume around the room.

They're also a lovely gift idea for anyone who already has a favourite fragrance.

Imagine walking through your front door and being greeted by a fragrance that reminds you of your favourite perfume.

Instant luxury.

🏡 How Do I Choose the Right Wax Melt?

If you're still stuck, ask yourself three simple questions.

1. What fragrances do I normally wear?

Your perfume preferences can tell you a lot about the fragrance families you naturally like.

If you love sweet perfumes, you might enjoy vanilla, fruity or gourmand wax melts.

If you prefer sophisticated perfumes, try woody, musky or amber fragrances.

2. What smells do I already love?

Think about the smells that make you happy.

Do you love:

Freshly washed bedding?

Try clean and fresh fragrances.

Freshly baked cakes?

Try sweet and bakery scents.

Luxury hotels?

Try musky, woody or perfume-inspired fragrances.

Fresh flowers?

Try floral fragrances.

Fruit and tropical holidays?

Try fruity and tropical scents.

3. What mood do I want to create?

Want cosy?

Choose something warm and sweet.

Want fresh?

Choose clean, citrus or laundry-inspired fragrances.

Want luxurious?

Try woody, musky or perfume-inspired scents.

Want something fun?

Go fruity or sweet.

🕯️ Don't Be Afraid to Mix It Up

One of the best things about wax melts is that you don't have to commit to one fragrance.

You can have a completely different scent in every room.

For example:

Kitchen: Something sweet and bakery-inspired.

Living room: Something warm and luxurious.

Bedroom: Something soft and relaxing.

Bathroom: Something fresh and clean.

You can even change your fragrances depending on the season.

Summer might be fruity and tropical.

Autumn might be warm and sweet.

Winter might be rich and cosy.

Spring might be fresh and floral.

Your home fragrance can change with you.

🍂 What Wax Melt Scents Are Best for Autumn?

October is the perfect time to start experimenting with warmer fragrances.

Think:

• Vanilla

• Coffee

• Caramel

• Amber

• Musk

• Woods

• Bakery scents

• Rich fruity fragrances

• Luxury perfume-inspired scents

But there's absolutely no rule saying you have to use an "autumn" fragrance.

If you love Fresh Linen in October, use Fresh Linen!

If you want your house to smell tropical in November, go for it.

Your home should smell the way you want it to smell.

🛁 Why Not Pair Your Wax Melt With a Relaxing Bath?

Your home fragrance doesn't have to stop at the living room.

Create the ultimate cosy evening by combining your favourite wax melt with a warm bath and one of our bath bombs.

Run the bath.

Drop in your favourite bath bomb.

Put your wax melt on.

Grab your dressing gown.

And enjoy some proper time to yourself.
