What are the absolute best wax melts?

I have wax melts in my little WFH office, I love them, but I've run out!

Looking for something that smells utterly divine and can ideally be ordered online, what would you suggest? Prefer light, floral, fresh scents.

Northern Soul Scents are amazing for soya based artisanal perfume type smells, but they are so well scented that they could be overpowering in a small room (my front room currently smells of a bar in an unopened packet!).

I love Devon wick and also Cosy Aromas. I have also tried Balneaves but found them a bit overpowering. O usually use an electric wax melter rather than tea lights as j don't like having soot in the air.

I love Devon wick! I think I got 5 snap bars for £10 and they had a good sale too
I don’t really rate Yankee candle tbh

I love Freckle Face. I have their coffee ones and it smells just like freshly brewed coffee. I won't use any others now.

I bought wax fragrance from eBay and use old candles and make my own. I don't pre mix and melt the wax, I put the pellets in the wax burner and pour in a little fragrance oil.

Another vote for Devon wick.

The Botanical Candle Company, beautiful, soy wax melts and candles, lovely company to deal with too.

Now that this thread is back, I'll take advantage and ask for recommendations for wax burners please.

I was coming on to say Devon Wick. Beware of addiction!

Another vote for Freckleface! They don’t smell cheap and nasty and have a lovely wide range of scents that last for ages.

The wax melt club is a great treat every month.

Electric or tea-light ones ? I use tea lights and get the burners from Asda as they're cheap.

Another for Devon wick. I burn their antiseptic quite often and my house smells like it's uber clean constantly 😂😂

I have kept some old Yankee candle ones that the smell has long since evaporated and I keep them in the burner but add my own essential or fragrance oils. The oil is dispersed in the wax as it liquifies.
