Why These Scents Create the Perfect Spa Experience
Spa fragrances work by engaging all your senses and creating a multi-sensory experience that promotes deep relaxation and wellbeing. Here's why our top spa scents are so effective:
- Luxurious floral notes (rose, peony, oud) evoke feelings of elegance and indulgence, elevating your self-care routine.
- Warm, grounding fragrances (amber, vanilla, oud) create a sense of safety and comfort whilst you relax.
- Soft, comforting scents (cream, strawberry, peony) trigger feelings of pampering and self-love.
- Consistent, ambient fragrance from wax burners fills the bathroom without overwhelming the senses, allowing you to fully immerse in the experience.
- Steam-friendly: Wax burners work beautifully in humid bathroom environments, releasing fragrance gradually as steam rises.
How to Create Your At-Home Spa Day
- Set the mood: Dim the lights and light a few candles (or use soft lighting) to create a calming atmosphere.
- Prepare your bath: Fill your tub with warm water and add bath salts, oils, or bath bombs if desired.
- Position your wax burner: Place your wax burner on a shelf or stable surface away from water and steam sources, but close enough to enjoy the fragrance.
- Add simmering granules: Fill the wax burner bowl with 1–2 tablespoons of scented sizzlers (bathrooms are humid, so fragrance will carry well).
- Light or activate: Use a tea light candle underneath or plug in an electric wax warmer for safe operation.
- Soak and relax: Allow 15–30 minutes to fully immerse yourself in the spa experience. Let the fragrance, warmth, and calm wash over you.
- Refresh as needed: One 200g bag provides multiple spa days; refresh when scent fades to maintain your wellness ritual.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to use a wax burner in a humid bathroom?
Yes, wax burners are safe in bathrooms. However, use an electric wax warmer rather than a tea light burner for added safety in humid environments. Position your burner away from direct water splashes and ensure good ventilation. Electric warmers are designed to handle moisture and humidity.
What's the difference between scented sizzlers and simmering granules?
Scented sizzlers and simmering granules are the same product—both terms refer to wax-based fragrance pellets designed for use in wax burners. "Simmering granules" is a traditional term, whilst "scented sizzlers" is our modern branding. Both provide the same long-lasting, consistent fragrance.
How long does one 200g bag last for spa days?
A 200g bag provides approximately 8–12 uses, depending on how much you add per use. If you enjoy a spa day once or twice a week, one bag will last 4–6 weeks. Bathrooms are humid, so fragrance carries well and you may need less sizzlers than in other rooms.
