Scentsy is known for its wax bars; they\u2019re the foundation of the company. Yankee Candle\u2019s most popular product is its jar candles, so it would be interesting to know how their wax melts would compare to Scentsy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this article, I am going to compare the two brands based on ingredients used, fragrances offered and pricing<\/strong> structures.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Stick around to learn about each company\u2019s approach to making wax melts in order to determine which one you\u2019d prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both Scentsy and Yankee Candle are American companies that sell wax-based products and accessories. While Yankee Candle primarily focuses on home and car fragrance products, Scentsy\u2019s products also include personal care, laundry, air purifiers and collections for children and pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you wanted to try a new Yankee Candle scent years ago, you could buy a wax tart. These little tarts were less than an ounce each but had a strong fragrance throw when melted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You may be able to still find Wax Tarts in stores like Bed, Bath & Beyond or online through Ebay or Amazon but at this point, they\u2019re collector\u2019s items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yankee Candle<\/a> has officially discontinued production of their tarts, replacing them with Wax Melts, which come in single and multi-packs. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Wax Melt Singles<\/a> are 0.8 oz (22 g), just like the tarts were. Their 2.6 oz (75 g) multi-pack contains 6 wax melts<\/a>, each weighing 0.43 oz (12.5 g). Each section can be warmed for up to 8 hours before the fragrance begins to fade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I think that the single tarts are still a nice entry into the brand and can allow you to try a fragrance before purchasing a larger candle or multi-pack of wax melts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since the start of their company, Scentsy has been offering customers wax bars. So I guess you can say that wax bars are also an entry into the company, but in a different way. This is the one product you\u2019ve been able to buy from them from the very beginning, but access to it has changed some over the years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Traditionally, the only way to purchase Scentsy products was through an independent consultant. Now, you can also buy their products online through sites like Amazon which is especially convenient if you don\u2019t have a Scentsy consultant in your area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scentsy wax bars<\/a> weigh the same as Yankee Candle\u2019s multi-packs, 2.6 oz (74 g), but they are divided into eight sections instead of six. Fragrance intensity for each bar lasts for six to eight hours, but according to customers, fragrance lasts much longer than that and is closer to 10 to 20 hours.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Single bar sections are not available for sale. Typically, you would test out Scentsy products and fragrances through an Independent Consultant during a Scentsy host party. I\u2019m not sure if this will ever change since parties occur less frequently due to the pandemic but in the meantime, you can order sample sets<\/a> in order to try out multiple Scentsy fragrances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a hard question to answer. Both companies develop a high quality product using purified wax, strong fragrance combinations, and their prices aren\u2019t significantly different.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYankee Candle Wax Melts vs Scentsy Wax Bars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
