The Candle you do not have to light
Scentsy offers a beautiful candle warmer that uses less wax than other candle warmers.
The Scentsy difference is the Scentsy Warmer consisting of a dish and stand with a light bulb. The dish is small and the stand below has a 25 watt light bulb, the bulb is the heat element. When you turn on your Scentsy Warmer the heat from the light bulb below warms the dish and a wonderful fragrance is released. The Scentsy Warmer Dish is large enough to hold one or two cubes of Scentsy Wax, enough to last 1 to 2 days.
There are several candle alternatives available to the flame candle using warmers. One candle warmer is a hot plate or warming dish that you turn on and set a jar candle on. Another design is a lamp which sits over the jar candle and warms from above. A challenge using the warmer plate is making sure to keep it away from pets and children. The dish gets very hot and can burn you. I actually use the hot dish as a coffee warmer at my desk. It does a great job of keeping it piping hot!
Both of these warmers work well, however you are warming a very large amount of was, a full jar or pillar candle. It requires time to get the whole candle warmed and to enjoy the scent. After several uses the wax can lose its scent.
The benefit of using a Scentsy Warmer and wax is you are only using a small amount of wax to warm. In each bar there are 8 individual pieces you can break apart and put into the warmer. Use just the amount of wax you need and add more if you would like a stronger scent. Once all the fragrance has left the cube, you remove the wax and replace. Each Bar last 60 to 80 hours, so that means each cube can last up to 10 hours.
Some people keep their warmers on all the time, if that is the case you can expect a bar of Scentsy to last a week to a week and a half. The wax does not evaporate so you remove when you can no longer smell the scent.
