The Richly Scented Candle

Posts Tagged ‘candle melts’

Now this seems strange -- flameless candles?  But isn't the whole point to burn them and release the frangrance?  Why wouldn't you want to light them and let the scent float everywhere?

There are actually several reasons for flameless candles:

• You live in a dorm or other area that prohibits an open flame.
• You can't burn anything in an office due to building codes.
• You'd prefer to be totally soot-free because you're not burning anything.
• You are very sensitive to smoke.

Let's take a look at how these kinds of candles work (and they do).

What Exactly are Flameless Candles?

There are two kinds:  those with an LED light and those where the wax is melted, but has no flame.

For the melting type, wax with a low melting point is placed into a ceramic or thick glass holder and gently warmed.  The warmers use electricity, in the form of a tealight warmer or a lightbulb to slowly heat up the holder.  As the holder warms, it gently melts the wax, releasing the scent.  Here's where you can find out more about candle melts.

As for the LED type; they have gotten more and more popular!  Here are a few examples to browse:

The downside is that this kind of flameless candle doesn't have a scent.

Things to Consider for "Melts"

You still have to use precautions when using a candle melt.  Just like you don't want to leave a regular one burning when you're not at home, neither to you want the warmer turned on when you're out.

Be careful not to spill the melted wax.  There are waxes out there than wash up with soap and water (soy and vegetable waxes), so you may want to consider one of them if the inevitable happens.

Even though there is no flame, the wax and holder do get hot, so you want to use it where children and pets can't reach it.

Along those same lines...because the wax and holder do get very heated, don't try to move them yourself while they are hot!
