Soothing Scents: Dreams Wax Melt for Relaxation Beyond Counting Sheep!

Frequently Asked Questions

Scented wax melts generally don’t harm indoor plants or interfere significantly with most air-purifying devices.

The fragrance in wax melts is released in small amounts and typically doesn’t produce chemicals that would negatively affect plants.

However, strong scents can occasionally cause sensitive plants to close their stomata (pores), potentially affecting their breathing if exposed for extended periods.

For air purifiers, a standard HEPA filter or UV lamp won’t typically reduce scents from wax melts, as these components are meant to capture particles and pathogens.

However, if your air purifier includes an activated carbon filter, negative ion generator, TiO2 filter, or ozone generator, it may reduce or even eliminate the fragrance over time, as these features are designed to neutralise gases and odours.

In short, you can enjoy your scented wax melts with most plants and purifiers. If you’re concerned, consider placing your warmer a bit further from sensitive plants or air-purifying devices for added peace of mind.

Yes, using wax melts in a drafty room can impact how the scent is distributed due to the science of diffusion.

When a wax melt warms up, it releases fragrance molecules into the air. Diffusion is the process that moves these fragrance molecules from an area of high concentration (around the wax warmer) to an area of lower concentration (the surrounding room).

In a room with stable air, the molecules spread gradually, creating an even distribution of scent as they move outward and eventually balance out across the room. However, in a drafty space, external airflow disrupts this diffusion.

Here’s why: In still air, the movement of molecules relies on natural diffusion, allowing a steady spread of fragrance molecules at a slow, consistent rate. But in a room with air currents, those moving molecules are swept up by drafts, causing them to disperse rapidly in the direction of the airflow.

This quick movement prevents the molecules from evenly saturating the room, leading to a scent that can feel weak, inconsistent, or short-lived. In other words, airflow accelerates the movement of the fragrance molecules out of the desired area, making it challenging for the scent to linger or evenly diffuse.

For optimal scent distribution, placing your wax warmer in an area with minimal airflow allows the fragrance molecules to naturally diffuse, filling the room at a steady, balanced rate.

This undisturbed diffusion creates a fuller, more enjoyable scent experience, as the fragrance molecules remain longer in the room before they’re naturally diluted into the surrounding air. 

For larger spaces, you’ll want wax melts that pack a real punch – and that’s where Daya’s Essence stands out.

To our knowledge, we’re the only UK wax melt company that infuses 3 times more fragrance oil into each melt.

Our melts are 30% fragrance loaded, unlike the standard 10%, so you get a powerful, lasting scent throw that fills even large rooms with ease.

Just one of our wax melt pots will cover a big area and provide at least 30 hours of fragrance with continuous use.

To maximise scent throw in a large space, start by choosing a high-quality warmer and place it in a central location where air can circulate around it.

Avoid drafty areas, as strong air currents can cause the fragrance to disperse too quickly. For even better diffusion, try closing doors to keep the scent contained within the room.

With Daya’s Essence wax melts, you’re set to create a truly immersive fragrance experience that doesn’t fade away! Check out our scents here. Dayas Essence Collection
