A wax warmer is an electric device designed to melt scented wax, releasing fragrance into the air. It typically consists of a heating element and a dish or bowl where the wax is placed. As the wax melts, it fills the room with pleasant aromas, making it a popular choice for home fragrance. Wax warmers come in various styles and sizes, allowing users to choose one that fits their decor. They are often used as an alternative to traditional candles, as they do not produce an open flame, making them safer for households with children or pets.
