better homes and gardens vanilla cookie crunch wax cubes
Last Updated on January 21, 2021 by Josh Desair
Home fragrances and scents are not a new thread of discussion, especially considering the best wax melts and aromatherapy products. Since ancient times aromas and scents were readily available to the high class to treat their rooms with a pleasant aroma. Fragrances used to be an expensive lux, therefore not everyone could afford them.
We are living in the 21st century now and most things previously not accessible are affordable by most social groups. That includes wax home fragrances. With plenty of scents to choose from including a long list of fruit aromas, tea, bamboo trees, sweet lovely biscuits, rose and more.
Since the list of options is long, extensive, and headache-inducing at times, we are providing a time-saving solution and doing the research for you. We've turned our focus on comprising a list of the ten absolute best wax melts available on the market. A wax melt is half a luxury and half a necessity, and one that you shall not deny to yourself, certainly not the ones below. Let's scroll down take a look, shall we?
19 Best Wax Melts in 2021
1. Trapp Lemongrass Verbena
See More Images & Info
First up on our list is this fantastic lemongrass verbena scent from Trapp. Made with only the highest-quality ingredients, you feel good about melting these soy melts in your house.
Fake a Clean Home
Lemongrass is a wonderful, fresh fragrance that a lot of folks prefer to have throughout their households. Not much says, "the place was just cleaned!" like the scent of lemon (even if it's been a bit since you got yourself Lysol). These melts also have notes of the flowering plant Brazilian verbena and vanilla, too.
Soy Construction
These melts are made with soy wax. Considering soy wax is produced using vegetable oil, it's entirely safe to use in-house as it will not be toxic to your pets or anyone in the household. Soy is also more environmentally friendly, so it's a win-win scenario.
Cost and Value
These melts arrive in a pack of nine, for a total of two and a half oz of lemongrass verbena greatness. Although their cost is slightly over some other options on our list, you can't beat the quality or scent.

- Lovely scent
- 30+ hours of fragrance

More About Wax Melts
Waxing Nostalgic
In March of every year, I would make it a point to drive down the avenues that bordered my city's orange groves. The car's open windows would let the aromatic breeze in, quickly enveloping me in the blissful fragrance of thousands upon thousands of orange blossoms at once. The bouquet of those blossoms impressed their mark upon my memory. It is the scent of both nostalgia and promise. I have since moved away from those orange groves, and my Marches are now filled with the scent of bougainvillea and fast rain. Luckily for me, I can still have that southern California spring delivered inside of my house via scented wax melts. I need no further encouragement to indulge my senses.
Summer's Renewal
Here and now is an especially great place and time to try wax melts. Or, if you already use them, to mix up and experiment among different brands and scents. What better time to do this than in summer? All-day sunshine and early-worm, twittering birds encourage us to meet our loftier ambitions with renewed well-being. Wax melts can bring summer into your home. They can transform your rooms by replacing that gloomy winter atmosphere with summer's lively spirit. Flowers can flood your living space: honeysuckle, wisteria, and lilac. Oh, and orange blossom, don't forget that one. The perfume of flora isn't the only scent that wax melts can deliver. The more subtle melts are excellent at maintaining a fresh atmosphere and an environment that is odor-free. If you own dogs or love cats, there are melts that can neutralize the air and free you from pet smells.
Sensual Decadence
From "Fresh Cut Roses" to "Bamboo Watermint" (two scents by brand One Fur All), there is an enormous variety of new scents of which to be aware. Innovation and better quality in modern scents have turned the usual vanilla and pumpkin spice scents that we are used to on their ear. Shortie's Candle company boasts a large variety of options along with their trademark "high scent throw," which is how far a warmed wax melt's scent can travel.
Wax melt companies have many categories of scents: floral, fruity, earthy, tropical, woodsy, and so on. Under each category, you will discover exotic, highly-scented fusions next to your usual single note staples. In addition to the simple charms of "Apple Harvest" and "Iced Mint Lavender," you will find such exceptional scents as "Pinyon and Patchouli" and "Pepperberry Spice." There are a long list of sweets and baked good aromas to make us capitulate and blow off our diets: Caramel Apple Cider, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, and Butter Pecan Pie are but a few. You can diet tomorrow.
Eco-Friendly & Non-Toxic
Nostalgia fodder and luscious, unique fragrances aren't the only improvements in the current world of wax melts. Melts are now created using materials that are non-toxic and eco-friendly: natural soy wax (a renewable source) or food-grade natural paraffin wax. Most wax melts are dye-, petroleum-, and allergen-free. Do you recall that bougainvillea I mentioned earlier? Well, to glory in that seasonal perfume usually means you must also cope with a red, runny nose. Wax melts can come in a close second for that particular sensual experience. You needn't take to your bed unless you want to.
The Candle Comparison
See Scented Candles
Wax melts are a comparably better choice than candles in many important ways. For one, they are cheaper. They are less costly due to more burn time, less waste created, and the ability to hold more fragrance oil. Wax melts burn nearly five times per ounce longer than we get with candles. Wax melts don't generate much waste. There is no soot to dirty your things like candles produce. Nor is there the usual agitation of asthma and other respiratory issues that are correlated with soot. Melts don't drip wax and without a flame, it's believed that the scent is released with fewer chemicals emitted into the air. Lastly, melts have a better ability to hold stronger fragrance, a two percent and upward edge over candles. The wax warmers that cradle the melts can be used repeatedly. They usually take a 15-watt bulb at the base to warm their fragrant cargo. This can be accomplished in as little as five minutes. The fragrance from the better wax melts can last eight hours and upwards, some claim as many as 48 hours! Of course, by being flame-free, wax melts are safer, better used in families with small children than candles.
Temptation
Other reasons that may tempt you to skip the candle section and go straight to the melts, tarts, and cubes section are noted. The warmers and melts are far more acceptable to use than candles in public places like the workplace or your yoga classroom. They're convenient because they don't require matches or a lighter. The cleanup of a wax melt is easy, just pluck it out and throw it away. Their convenience can't be matched if you're after a portable scent fix that isn't messy nor troublesome. Unlike candles, you can create your own customized scent by mixing wax melts with similar fragrance notes. You can also control the strength of the fragrance by breaking melts apart or adding more to your wax warmer. Make sure not to exceed one ounce or your wax warmer might overflow!
Christmas in July
Scented wax melts can greatly improve your life's aesthetic, your day-to-day mood, and (more to the point), the smell in your house! They are safe and eco-friendly! They are a vast improvement over candles. With them you are able to indulge in beloved scents from your youth: the night-blooming jasmine under your childhood home's window, the scent of melon on a hot summer's day, the oceanside you visited every August for two weeks with your family—the surf and spray, the tanning lotion, the campfire that you sat around with close friends. With them, you can revisit Christmas on the Fourth of July: Evergreen, Candy Cane(s), Roasted Chestnuts, and Sugarplum Cranberry. Fragrance can transport you to an earlier time as much as it can nudge you into a peaceful mood. With wax melts, you can expect to be delighted!
Factors Used in Evaluation of The Best Wax Melts
Common Types of Wax in The Best Wax Melts
There are several different types of wax on the market. The most common type you'll find in our buying guide is soy wax and that's because it's actually the highest quality and one of the natural wax melts available. Let's take a closer look at some of the most common types you'll find in your products when browsing.
Soy Wax
As we mentioned above, many of the wax melts in our buying guide are made with soy. This is because soy is 100% natural and is made from soybean oil. Soy is a renewable resource, making it a great eco-friendly pick for people who care about the environment. It also has a lower melting point than other wax types, making them last longer.
Paraffin Wax
Paraffin wax comes from refined petroleum, making it nowhere near as environmentally-friendly as soy wax. Paraffin may release harmful substances when warmed and may even give off benzene (a known carcinogen).
Beeswax
Like soy wax, beeswax is 100% natural. It is worth noting, however, that beeswax can become flammable if it's overheated. This is one of the reasons why we chose not to showcase any melts made with this product in our buying guide.
Scent and Fragrance Typically In The Best Wax Melts
Scent is perhaps one of the most important deciding factors to consider before you choose a wax melt for your home. If citrus scents trigger your migraines, you don't want to be melting lemon or citrus-scented melts in your household.
On the other hand, if you're aiming to replicate the scent of your favorite bakery, maybe something like the Better Homes and Gardens Vanilla Cookie Crunch will be more your style.
If you're a bit nervous about finding wax melts online before you get a chance to give them a sniff test, choose a scent you know you already like. Do you love the smell of fresh laundry? If so, you definitely need the Febreze Unstopables or Febreze with Gain melts in your wax warmer. How about the love of walking through flower gardens on a hot summer day? Glade's Lavender and Peach Blossom or Hosley's Fresh Bamboo melts will be right up your alley if this is what you enjoy.
Maybe you are more open-minded to trying new scents. Any of the ten on our list will be a great pick. We've selected several different varieties that will appeal to anyone's scent receptors.
Aromatherapy is a holistic healing treatment using scents to promote wellness. Certain scents are said to promote relaxation, reduce stress, treat insomnia, and may even help treat headaches and improve your digestion. If you're looking for a safe way to treat any of the aforementioned ailments, trying choosing wax warmer scents that will help with these conditions.
For example, lemongrass can help relieve stress and anxiety. Lavender is said to help promote a sense of calmness and help you get a good night's sleep. If you're feeling adventurous, try combining different scents together to create your own new scent. Just make sure your wax warmer is able to contain the amount of liquid that two wax melts will make otherwise you'll wind up with a big and difficult-to-clean mess.
Longevity and Lasting Effect of The Best Wax Melts
When we're talking about the longevity of a wax melt, we're speaking on two different things. First of all, how long the scent of the melt will last in your home once it starts melting. Second, how long the container of wax melts will last you. These factors go hand-in-hand, but they're both worth learning a little more about.
Some wax melts made with poorer quality ingredients will only emit a scent for a short while. You might only get a few hours out of one cube of wax before you realize your home no longer smells like a bakery or flower shop. Others are comprised of a high-quality formulation so the scents last several days or longer depending on how long you keep your wax warmer on. Check out our list of reviewed melts above to see examples of these.
If you buy a poorer quality wax, you're going to find yourself flying through the container faster than you want to. The truth is this – if you want to keep your home smelling lovely, you're going to have to keep changing out your wax cubes from your warmer. This simply means you'll go through containers of wax melts much faster and your wallet will not be thanking you for that.
That's why it's important to ensure you're buying top-notch quality wax cubes like those in our buying guide. One cube of wax will last you for several days, providing a lot more bang for your buck than the cheaper quality cubes out there.

A: The lifespan of wax melts depends entirely on the quality of the product you're melting. As we mentioned above, some poorer quality melts will only give off a scent for a limited period of time. The higher-quality melts will last for up to twenty hours. While twenty hours may not seem like a long time, if you have your warmer on a timer to only be on for a few hours per day, you can get weeks out of one cube of wax.
Q: What are wax melts?
A: A wax melt is a scented cube of wax that you place in a wax warmer. They're similar to candles except they are less of a hazard as there's no open flame necessary to reap the lovely smelling benefits.
Wax warmers can either be electric, providing enough heat to melt the wax from a light bulb, or they can use tea light candles to melt the wax. If having a fire hazard in your home is a worry, the electric option is a great choice as you won't need to utilize an open flame thus minimizing the hazard.
Q: What to do with old wax melts?
A: Sure, you can discard of old wax that's no longer scented, but there are ways you can reuse the old melts as well.
You can use an empty cardboard egg carton, dryer lint, and your old wax to make a fantastic fire starter. Put pieces of dryer lint into each section of the egg carton. Warm-up your old wax in your warmer and then pour it on top of the lint. These makeshift fire starters burn very well and are a great educational activity if you have young kids, too.
If you just want to dispose of the old wax, pour it back into the clamshell container they came in and let it harden back up before disposing of the container.
Q: How do wax melts work?
A: You will melt your wax in either an electric warmer or tea light wax melter. The wax cube will begin to melt as the heat from the electric bulb or tea light warms it up. When your cube begins to liquefy, the scent will be dispersed throughout your home.
Q: What are the best wax melts?
A: The best wax melts are the ones that you enjoy the scent of and ones that are made with high-quality natural ingredients. As we mentioned above, paraffin wax is not the best choice to use in your wax warmer as it's not natural and can actually be quite detrimental to your health. We know the ten products presented within this buying guide are the best on the market today. How do we know this? Because we've done extensive research among countless hours to find which contain the safest ingredients, best aromas, and last longest to keep your home or space smelling wonderful, the way you like it.
Q: Where does wax go when it melts?
A: The melted max will not evaporate as it doesn't get quite hot enough to do so. The scent on each wax cube will eventually dissipate, however, which is when you'll want to remove that wax from your warmer and replace it with a new one. If you add a new wax cube to an older less smelly one, the older scent will dilute the new one and you won't find you're able to smell the new scent as much or that they'll compete against one another and wind up smelling strange.
Terminology
Wax Warmer
A wax warmer is an electric or candle-powered device that's used to create a scent in your home. The electric units plug in and use small bulbs to slowly heat the wax melts. The candle-powered versions use the flame of a tealight candle to heat the melt.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is a holistic healing treatment that revolves around the smell receptors in your nose. It uses natural plant extracts like essential oils to try to heal your body and mind.
Fragrance Oils
Fragrance oils are the synthetic version of essential oils. Instead of coming solely from nature like essential oils, fragrance oils are made by mixing aroma chemicals with different elements like essential oils, extracts, or resins. Fragrance oils don't have the same healing compounds or health benefits of essential oils, instead, they only provide a scent.
Melt Time
Melt time refers to the amount of time your wax melt will melt for before losing its scent. The longer the melt time is, the longer you'll be able to use your melt before you can't smell it any longer.
