The Matty's Difference
The best scented candles and wax melts should do more than smell nice in the box — they should perform beautifully in your home. We use a coconut and rapeseed wax blend for a smooth finish, excellent fragrance hold and a cleaner, slower burn.
Every fragrance is tested for both cold scent and hot scent, so it fills real living spaces rather than fading into the background. Small-batch pouring gives us control over fragrance distribution, wax finish and final quality checks.

| Fragrance | Tested cold & hot throw | Varies between batches |

| Ethics | Vegan, cruelty-free, palm-free | Sourcing often unclear |

Flame-Free Fragrance
If you love changing fragrance through the week, our wax melts scent your home without lighting a candle. Use a little for gentle fragrance or more for a stronger throw — easy to switch, simple to use, perfect for matching scent to a room, mood or season.
Melts can feel stronger because fragrance releases quickly when warmed, while candles add flame and atmosphere. Use a clean warmer, avoid overfilling the dish, and replace the wax once the scent fades.
Customer Favourites

Helpful Answers
A clean wax base, a suitable wick, a balanced fragrance load and a consistent burn. Ours use coconut and rapeseed wax, tested wick combinations and carefully selected fragrance oils.
They offer different experiences. Wax melts are ideal for quick, flame-free fragrance and changing scents often. Candles add atmosphere, warmth and a soft glow.
Our standard 220g candles burn for approximately 45 hours when used correctly. Let the wax pool reach the edge on the first burn and trim the wick before each use.
Paraffin is petroleum-derived, and we have concerns about parts of the global soy supply chain. Our coconut and rapeseed blend gives us the cleaner performance and fragrance quality we want.
Use a suitable warmer, don't overfill the dish, never add water and never leave a warmer unattended. Let the wax cool before swapping in a new melt.
