A candle warmer is an electrical device designed to melt the wax of a candle without the need for an open flame. It typically consists of a heating element and a dish or platform where the candle is placed. By gently warming the wax, it releases the fragrance without producing soot or smoke, making it a safer alternative to traditional candles. These devices come in various styles and sizes, allowing users to choose one that fits their decor. Many candle warmers can accommodate different types of candles, including jar candles and wax melts, providing versatility in scent options for any space.
