What people keep coming back for

These three scents outsell everything else by a wide margin. Each snap bar makes six cubes, and one cube fills a room for a good eight hours.

Wax melt bar in warm amber tones

Salted Caramel Brownie

Rich cocoa, dark caramel, a pinch of sea salt. The one that makes the kitchen smell like Saturday afternoon baking.

6-cube snap bar / £4.50
Pale pink wax melt with dried flowers

Hedgerow Rose

Wild rose petals, green stems, a touch of rain on stone. Smells exactly like the path down to Lee Bay in June.

6-cube snap bar / £4.50
Lavender-scented wax melts in purple tones

Ilfracombe Lavender

English lavender, not the sharp French sort. Soft and powdery, good for the bedroom. Best seller since day one.

6-cube snap bar / £4.50
Cozy living room with warm lighting and soft furnishings
Our story

Started at the kitchen table, still made by hand

Maide's Melts began in 2019 when Sarah started making wax melts at home during a particularly grey January. She wanted scents that actually smelled like real things, not chemical approximations of "ocean breeze" or "fresh linen."

Four years on, every batch is still poured by Sarah at her home workshop in Ilfracombe. The ingredients are simple: natural soy wax, cotton wicks, and carefully sourced fragrance oils. Nothing complicated, just done properly.

What people are saying

"The Salted Caramel Brownie is genuinely dangerous. My husband thought I'd been baking and was quite disappointed when he found out it was a wax melt."
Emma T., Barnstaple
"I've tried the big supermarket brands and they just don't compare. These actually smell like what they say on the label. Been ordering monthly for two years."
Rachel K., Bristol
"Bought the Hedgerow Rose for my mum's birthday. She rang me that evening to say her whole house smelled gorgeous. Now she orders her own."
James P., Exeter
