Scentsy makes what they call wickless candles. They are also called candlepower unit warmers or soy wax warmers. Instead of using a flame, they use electricity. The warmth needed to release scentsy alabaster warmer parfum comes from a small bulb.
If you are thinking of purchasing one for your home, here are some pros and cons for you to consider.
Pros
Safe heat. The warmers get warm, but not hot. The miscroscopic bulb releases only enough heat to burn the soy wax. Despite if it has been on for several hours, it is still safe to touch and hold with your hands. So, if you have babies or pets, you won’t have to worry about them getting burned. Also, because it does not get too hot, it will not produce a fire by tipping over.
Saves money. You wind up saving money compared to using candles. The scented soy wax can be used over and over again until all the parfum is released.
Various styles. The warmers that Scentsy makes come in all styles and designs. They also make the warmers in several different sizes. They have medium size ones that are only 5 ins high and large ones that are 6 ins tall. For bathrooms, they also make the plug-in variety for bathrooms.
80 different aromas. Scentsy offers 80 different perfumes for you to choose from.
Custom aroma. Because you use squares of soy wax, you can mix and match squares from different aromas to make your own custom smell to fit your likes.
Easy to switch. It is easy to switch to whatever nose you want just by preparing out the melted soy wax and placing new solid squares in. You don’t have even to turn it off to accomplish this. Scentsy makes their warmers with a extrenal dish that you can simply lift up.
Cons
Not essential oils. For those allergic to man-made smells, then this probably wouldn’t work. The reason they don’t use essential oils is that they are expensive and they don’t last extended. But, because of this, if you are allergic to scent, then this product is not a good choice for you.
Strong aroma. If you are looking for a very pass out smell, then this is simply not for you. Just one medium warmer will fill a 1, 200 pillow foot home after just one hour! It can be somewhat overpowering. It will definitely overpower any other smells in your home.
So, check out the last list of pros and cons and compare it to your needs and what exactly you want for your home.
