How to Use
Place one cube in an approved wax warmer on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Add a second cube only if the warmer capacity and room size call for more fragrance. Do not overfill the warmer dish.
Fragrance time and perceived scent strength are estimates. Results vary with warmer type and wattage, room size, airflow, ambient temperature, portion used, and fragrance age.
