Fragrances

English Rose: This is the scent of defiant passion. The velvet, full-bodied romance of a secret vow, but with the sharp thorns of consequence and duty. It’s the color in a heroine's cheek, a flower pressed between forbidden pages.

Lavender: This is the sharp, herbal scent of propriety. The crisp, unsettling cleanness of a perfectly kept house, the preserved memory in a locked chest. It’s the scent of tradition and the rules that must be followed... or broken.

Patchouli: This is the grounding, earthy weight of the past. The deep, woody aroma of the library, the scent of an old inheritance, the undeniable presence of the house itself. It’s the secret that anchors the whole story.

Care

Start the Story: Place one or two segments in your warmer's dish. Allow the wax to melt fully to fill the room with fragrance.

Use the Right Warmer: Only use a warmer specifically designed for wax melts (either electric or tea light).

Melting Time: Do not leave your warmer on for more than 4 hours at a time to preserve the fragrance and ensure safety.

Safe Placement: Keep your warmer on a heat-resistant, stable surface, away from drafts, flammable items, children, and pets.

Power Down: Turn off your electric warmer or safely extinguish the tea light. Never leave a running warmer unattended.

Changing Scents: When the fragrance fades, let the wax cool completely and pop it out, if possible. Otherwise, clean it with cotton balls but be careful not to burn yourself. Never add new melts to old wax.

Storage: Keep your melts in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain fragrance quality.
