Should You Buy the Candle, Wax Melt or Room Spray First?

If you are new to a fragrance, the best first format depends on how you want to use scent—not on which product is universally “best.”

Choose a candle for ritual

A candle combines fragrance with flame, light and a slower room experience. It is a good first choice when you enjoy the act of lighting a candle as much as the scent itself.

Choose a wax melt for flameless home fragrance

Wax melts make sense when you already use an appropriate warmer and prefer a fragrance format without an open flame.

Choose a room spray for control

Room spray is useful when you want fragrance on demand and prefer deciding exactly when to add more.

Still deciding?
