So I’ve been making both a while now and enjoy the process and trying out different fragrances.

Im curious to know which do people prefer to buy for home?

Thanks!

Have a great weekend 🤗

Candles, I find wax melts too overpowering.

Candles, but I have to admit I use them a lot less since having kids! I still have a wax burner but haven't used it in absolutely ages.

I prefer candles. I always forget about melts and find them ages later at the back of a drawer. Candles give a nice glow when a candle has burnt away its gone, but it can be messy removing the remains of melts from the burner.

Neither. Candles pollute the air in the house, releasing pollutants and particulates that are bad for your lungs and can cause cancer.

I like candles more

Neither.
They stink.

I use both, I never find candles smell as strong as the melt but I love candle light.

Neither. All these home fragrances are going to be the next major health scare. No way would I have any of them in the house, we just open the windows and air the place!
