Creating wax melts that truly captivate the senses starts with choosing the highest quality fragrance oils. The strength, purity, and complexity of a scent determine how well it performs in wax melts, making fragrance oil selection a crucial factor. At House of Scent, we provide professional-grade, undiluted fragrance oils that are designed to deliver exceptional scent throw and longevity, ensuring your wax melts fill any space with long-lasting, high-impact fragrance.
Our oils are carefully formulated to maintain their potency from the moment they are added to wax to their final use in a wax warmer. Whether you're creating fresh, floral, gourmand, or musky scents, our premium oils help achieve the best possible scent performance.
Why Quality Matters for Wax Melts
Not all fragrance oils are created equally, and the difference can make or break your wax melt creations. Many mass-market oils are diluted with fillers or carrier oils, which significantly weaken their scent throw, longevity, and overall performance. These fillers can result in a lack-luster fragrance experience that fades quickly after being melted.
At House of Scent, we provide only premium, undiluted fragrance oils, specifically designed for superior performance in wax melts. Our oils are crafted with the highest quality ingredients, ensuring they retain their potency, richness, and complexity when blended with wax. This commitment to quality results in an exceptionally long-lasting and highly aromatic experience that will fill any room with a captivating fragrance.
Whether you're making wax melts for personal use or for your business, our oils are guaranteed to elevate your products to the next level. When you choose House of Scent, you’re choosing fragrance oils that deliver an unforgettable scent experience that lasts, ensuring satisfaction for your customers or yourself.
The Importance of High-Quality Fragrance Oils
The effectiveness of a wax melt is largely determined by the oil's quality. Inferior oils often contain fillers that diminish their aromatic strength and lifespan. House of Scent offers premium, oils crafted to maintain their richness when combined with wax, ensuring a superior sensory experience.

Maximising Scent Strength in Wax Melts
To ensure your wax melts deliver the best olfactory experience:
Appropriate Fragrance Load: Adhere to recommended usage rates, typically between 6-10%, to avoid issues like sweating or poor performance. We recommend testing thoroughly at different percentages before commencing batch production.
Proper Curing: Allow wax melts to cure for 24-48 hours, enabling the fragrance to fully bind with the wax for enhanced scent throw. You don't have to do this is using certain waxes, but we always recommend a little curing over no curing at all. If using soy wax, curing for 2 weeks is recommended.
Optimal Wax Selection: Different waxes have varying scent release properties; choose one that aligns with your desired outcome. As always, we recommend thorough testing to ensure you are happy with the performance of fragrance oil in your chosen wax.
Correct Storage: Store wax melts in a cool, dark place to maintain the integrity of the fragrance oil. Keep them out of direct sunlight and in their original packaging. If stored correctly, wax melts will be suitable to use years after being made.
