About Our Candles & Scents

Q: What are Melt Aroma Candles made of? A: We use a premium soy wax blend for a cleaner, longer-lasting burn and excellent fragrance throw. We pair this blend with high-quality cotton wicks and fine fragrance oils to create scents that are truly evocative, like the crisp Snow Day or the rich Rain Forest.

Q: Why do some candles have slight variations in color or appearance? A: Because every Melt Aroma Candle is meticulously hand-poured by our small team, minor variations (like surface texture or slight color differences in the wax) are totally normal! Such variance is a hallmark of a handmade product, making your specific candle, like the gorgeous The Wonder Berry, uniquely yours.

Q: Where can I find information about a specific candle's scent notes? A: You can find the full scent profile (top, heart, and base notes) on each product page. For example, our Peach Nectarine candle will clearly list its full aromatic journey right there!

Please email us at support@meltaroma.store immediately (within 24 hours of receiving it) with clear photos of the damaged product and the box. As per our Return & Refund Policy, we will send you a replacement or issue a 100% refund at no cost to you.
