Wax melts are a great alternative to candles. They fill the room with scent and provide a cozy atmosphere. This “wax bark” style is extremely easy to make. No mold is necessary – all you need is a lined sheet pan.

First, Blushing Orchid Fragrance Oil and Baby’s Breath Fragrance Oil are mixed into melted wax and pink rose petals and jasmine flowers are sprinkled on top. Once the wax is completely cool, it’s broken into shards. The wax pieces look a lot like chocolate bark, so make sure everybody knows they are for burning and not eating.

Blushing Orchid Fragrance Oil and Baby’s Breath Fragrance Oil are part of our Modern Floral Collection, which includes four new scents, extracts, dried botanicals, and more. Click here to see all the new products.

In our tests, we found the combination of Blushing Orchid Fragrance Oil and Baby’s Breath Fragrance Oil had a subtle but noticeable scent throw that worked well for a small room. Because Bramble Berry’s fragrance oils are not tested in candles and wax melts, we recommend making a small test batch with any scent you use to make sure you like the scent when burned. For example, we tried this recipe with Wild Rose Fragrance Oil, but found the smell wasn’t very strong when warmed.

In our tests, the rose petals and jasmine flowers did not cause any problems in our wax warmer. They don’t come in direct contact with a flame, and the wax doesn’t get hot enough for them to burn. They petals will eventually turn brown.
