Introduction

Whether you are a scented room enthusiast or an occasional user, this guide will reveal everything you need to know to get the most out of your wax melts. Find out how to prolong their effectiveness and answer the famous question: how long does a scented wax melt last?

1. How long does a scented fondant last?


A scented wax melt diffuses its fragrance for an average of 6 to 12 hours , depending on its composition (concentration of fragrance and wax) and the size of your space.

However, several factors influence this duration:

  • Quality of ingredients: Natural perfume concentrates from Grasse generally offer a longer-lasting diffusion.
  • Diffuser Type: High temperature burners sometimes accelerate evaporation, so it is advisable to use a low heat fragrance burner.
  • Conservation: A poorly preserved fondant can lose its olfactory intensity,

To maximize its duration, be sure to follow a few simple rules that we detail below.

2. How to Store Your Scented Melts Properly?


Your scented melts deserve to be pampered! Proper storage not only ensures better preservation but also an optimal olfactory experience. Here are our expert tips:

  • Opt for airtight storage:
    Place your fondants in a glass box or ziplock bag to protect them from air and humidity.

  • Avoid direct light:
