Wax melts-good or bad?

I have a massive collection of wax melts, I love them and think they make my house smell gorgeous. However, am I alone in this? If you walked into a house that smelt of various things do you think ‘nice’ or ‘grim’. I use high end, soy, vegan melts as I don’t want to be responsible for polluting the atmosphere!

I use them all the time too, soy ones and usually “clean/laundry” type scents
everyone compliments them

I love wax melts, use them with a plug in bulb warmer rather than a tea light burner as I don't like the sooty smell from candles. I like Cosy Aromas or Devon Wick,as these both have a long lasting smell and don't smell artificial. I hate Yankee candles as they don't last long. I like foodie or fresh fruit smells or baking smells.

The place I volunteer at sells them and we get to put some on as samples for visitors. I like them. They are custom made for the site.

I love my wax melts. Its a good way to have lots of choices without buying a cupboard full of candles.

I use them a lot, in an electric burner as a safer alternative to candles. A friend of mine has a business making soy / vegan friendly candles, melts and diffusers so they’re all from her. I like the baking type scents the best. Can’t wait for Christmas and her gingerbread range!

I love them and have a whole drawer with different scents. My favourite are from Glass & Wick
