Cold at first. Almost clinical. The kind of cold that hums through a ship's hull when the engines are idling and the stars outside aren't moving. Then warmth pushes through, spiced and unfamiliar, the way a new galaxy smells when you don't know who runs it yet. This is the scent you melt when the mission briefing ends and the countdown starts.

Leviathan Wakes

Leviathan Wakes

by James S.A. Corey (2011)

A missing girl, a destroyed ice hauler, and a conspiracy that stretches across the solar system. Two very different men end up pulling on the same thread, and what they find could start the first interplanetary war.

A Memory Called Empire

A Memory Called Empire

by Arkady Martine (2019)

An ambassador arrives at the heart of a sprawling galactic empire with a dead predecessor's memories loaded into her brain. The problem is, those memories are incomplete, and someone at court wants her gone before she figures out why.

Ancillary Justice

Ancillary Justice

by Ann Leckie (2013)

She used to be a warship. Now she's trapped in a single human body with one goal: revenge against the ruler of an empire that spans thousands of worlds. The catch is, that ruler exists in multiple bodies at once.

Ozonic Notes: That first breath when you step onto a ship and everything organic falls away. Metallic. Endless. The kind of air that reminds you nothing out here was built for comfort.

Mint: Hits like a warning light on a console. It wakes you up fast, the way a plot twist at chapter three does. You're paying attention now.

Saffron: This is the note that doesn't belong in space, and that's exactly why it works. Warm, golden, traded across systems by people who know what it's worth. Every space opera has a market scene. This is what it smells like.

Sandalwood: The one that stays after everything else burns off. It doesn't demand anything. It just holds the line, quiet and low, the way a good ship does when the crew is asleep and the autopilot is earning its keep.

Your Questions Answered

local_shipping How long does shipping take?
expand_more

We ship between 1 and 3 business days, though some orders are shipped on the same day depending on when the order was placed. We use Royal Mail 48 Tracked, which means that after an order is received by Royal Mail, it should reach your home within 48 hours. Please note that during busier periods of the year, these delivery times may differ slightly.

chat_error I have a missing or incorrect wax melt in my package. What should I do?
expand_more

While we strive for 100% accuracy, we are human and mistakes can occasionally happen! If you find a scent is missing or you’ve received the wrong bar, please contact us at info@waxandwords.co.uk with your order number and a photo of the items that arrived. We will prioritise getting the correct melts sent out to you immediately.

local_florist Are your wax melts vegan-friendly and cruelty-free?
expand_more

Yes. Our wax melts are crafted using plant-based coconut wax, which is sustainable, biodegradable, and vegan-friendly. We also ensure that none of our ingredients, including our fragrance oils, are ever tested on animals.

mop How do I remove the old wax from my burner?
expand_more

The cleanest way to swap scents is to wait until the wax has completely cooled and hardened. Light your tealight (or turn on your electric warmer) for about 30 seconds - just long enough to loosen the base. The solid disc should slide out easily. Simply wipe the well with a paper towel to remove any remaining residue before adding a new scent.

PRO TIP: Use wax melt liners or silicone trays. This is the easiest way: once the melt is solidified inside the liner or tray, simply pop it out and discard. You can even use the old wax as a fire starter for your fireplace or fire pit!

emergency_heat Why is there "smoke" coming from my wax?
expand_more

In most cases, this is not smoke but fragrance vapour. When the oil is heated, it evaporates to release the aroma into the room. If the vapour is white and wispy, it is perfectly normal. However, if you see dark smoke, it may be a sign that your tealight is too large or the burner is getting too hot.

pets Can I use these melts around pets?
expand_more

While our wax melts are safe for general home use, it is important to ensure the room is well-ventilated. Some pets can be sensitive to certain strong fragrances or specific essential oils. We recommend keeping burners out of reach of curious paws and observing your pet for any signs of discomfort when trying a new scent.

healing Why is the bottom of a wax melt cube uneven?
expand_more

An uneven or slightly bumpy base is actually proof that we use natural coconut wax. These "imperfections" are purely aesthetic and occur due to micro-variations in temperature while the wax is cooling, during storage, or even whilst being shipped to your home. It has absolutely no impact on the quality or the incredible scent throw of the melt.

balance Why do some cubes have a slight difference in weight?
expand_more

Each cube is hand-poured, so slight variations in wax weight are completely normal. The important part is the fragrance oil, which is measured using 0.001g precision scales and is always exactly the same. A tiny difference in wax has no impact on scent throw.
