Tips and Tricks
Fragrance has the power to transform a space, soothe the mind, and restore balance.
At Mountain View Melts, each creation is designed as a sensory ritual – a way to bring the calm, luxury, and beauty of a spa experience into your home.
1. Begin with the First Ritual
On your first burn, allow the soy wax to melt evenly to the edges of the vessel or burner dish. This creates a “fragrance memory” and ensures a smooth, even release in every use thereafter.
2. Curate Atmosphere by Intention
Energise – Fresh citrus, crisp herbs, and bright florals for mornings filled with light and energy.
Dark Honey – Warm Honey, grounding chocolate and cedar, and soft spices for quiet evenings.
Sleep – Spa like Bulgarian Lavender for deep relaxation and self-care.
3. Layer for a Spa-Like Flow
Transitioning from one fragrance to another can enhance the sensory experience in your home. Consider using a fresh, light scent in high traffic areas, followed by richer, warmer notes in your cozy spaces. This technique mirrors the flow of a luxury spa experience.
4. Place with Purpose
Position burners and candles where fragrance can drift gently without disruption, away from strong drafts, direct sunlight, and busy walkways. Think of it as placing a signature floral arrangement: beautiful, intentional, and central to the room’s atmosphere.
5. Transition Mindfully
When changing scents, let the wax cool completely before removing it. Clean the dish gently with a soft cloth to preserve the clarity of your next fragrance. This keeps each aroma pure, unclouded, and true to its design.
6. Personalise the Intensity
Use half a melt for a delicate, whisper-like fragrance or a full melt for a richer, more enveloping scent. Adjusting your dosage allows you to match the energy of the space and occasion.
7. Preserve as You Would Fine Perfume
Store your melts in a cool, shaded space. This protects the essential oils and keeps your fragrance notes vivid and true – much like caring for a treasured scent in a glass bottle.
8. Embrace the Seasons
Curate your collection with the rhythms of nature. Soft blossoms in spring, sea-kissed breezes in summer, spiced warmth in autumn, and velvety gourmands in winter – each season bringing a new dimension to your home’s sensory landscape.
Every Mountain View Melts' fragrance is crafted with vegan-friendly ingredients to honour both the senses and the environment. Treat each burn as a moment of pause, your own invitation to breathe, reset, and simply be.
Join us in nurturing your well-being, and together, let's discover the beauty of self-care, one fragrance at a time.
P.S. Don't forget your candle safety...
To ensure you enjoy your luxury soy candles safely, please follow these important guidelines:
- Never leave a burning candle unattended and always keep it out of reach of children and pets.
- Place candles at least 10 cm apart to prevent overheating and ensure an even burn.
- Do not burn candles near flammable materials, fabrics, or surfaces.
- Before each use, trim the wick to approximately 4 mm and remove any debris from the candle surface to maintain a clean, even flame.
- Always extinguish your candle after each use and avoid relighting when less than 1cm of wax remains.
- If the flame begins to flicker or sway despite there being no draft, extinguish the candle, allow it to cool completely, trim the wick back to 5 mm, and relight for a steady burn.
These precautions help you enjoy your artisan candles to their fullest while maintaining a safe, luxurious home fragrance experience.
