Grounded, sculptural, and quietly reassuring, The Cairn Wax Warmer takes its inspiration from stacked stone forms found in nature. Its faceted shape feels steady and intentional, a piece designed to bring calm, weight, and warmth into a space.
Designed for use with wax melts, The Cairn releases fragrance gradually as the tealight warms the dish above. The angular opening frames the flame, allowing light to glow outward in a soft, contained way that feels comforting rather than dramatic.
Available in White and Soft Sand, The Cairn blends effortlessly into both light, minimal interiors and warmer, more tactile spaces.

Designed for Everyday Ritual
-
The Piece
The Cairn is crafted from smooth ceramic with gently faceted sides that give it a strong yet refined presence. Its shape feels architectural without being sharp, grounded, balanced, and quietly confident.
In White, it feels clean and calm.
In Soft Sand, it becomes warmer and more organic, echoing stone, clay, and natural textures.It’s a piece that feels settled, as though it has always belonged where it’s placed.
-
The Ritual
Place a wax melt into the dish at the top of The Cairn and light a single tealight within the base. As the ceramic warms, fragrance begins to release slowly and evenly into the room.
The enclosed opening focuses both light and heat, creating a ritual that feels grounding and intentional, a small pause that anchors the space around it.
-
The Feeling
The Cairn creates a feeling of steadiness and calm. Its weighty form and gentle glow bring a sense of reassurance, making a room feel more grounded and at ease.
It’s especially suited to moments of stillness, evenings where you want scent to feel supportive, warming, and quietly present rather than uplifting or energising.
Wax Warmer FAQs
How do wax warmers work?
Wax warmers gently heat wax melts using a tealight placed inside the burner. As the wax melts, fragrance is slowly released into the room without an open flame coming into contact with the wax itself. This creates a softer, more controlled fragrance experience compared to burning a candle.
Are wax warmers safe to use?
When used correctly, wax warmers are a safe way to fragrance your home. Always place your wax warmer on a heat-resistant surface, use a single standard tealight, and keep it away from drafts, pets, and children.
Never leave a lit warmer unattended.
What wax melts can I use with my wax warmer?
Our wax warmers are designed for use with standard wax melts, including all wax melts from The Scented Vale. Simply add one cube or piece at a time to avoid overfilling and to allow fragrance to release evenly.
