This point is going to be much debated, with some people swearing that candles give more scent throw, while others are insistent that melted wax from warmers will give you more scent throw. To make it simple I am going to call it a draw. With the same types of candle and the same amount of wax being melted, your are going to get nearly the same amount of scent throw.
Depending on how much of your wax is melted at one time from the warmer you will get more or less fragrance throw. If less is melted you will get less throw generally, and if more is melted you will get more. With candles that you burn, the throw will come down to the brand of candle you have, the size of the candle, if you multiple candles burning at once, and also, the size of the room you are burning the candle in.
With candle warmers, more specifically, the top down warmer style, you will melt a layer of wax until it is not fragrant anymore and then you will dump it and repeat. This process will generally happen slower than burning a candle, especially if their is a big flame on the burning candle causing the wax to burn off quicker. If you only leave the candle melting for short periods of time and let the bursts of fragrance out here and there, you can make your candle last, but otherwise, it will be similar to burning.
Another important factor is the type of wax. Certain types of wax hold fragrance better and certain types will also melt faster than others. For this section I will list each of the different types we have been covering and then go over some things to note for each when it comes to candle maintenance and convenience.
With burning candles, the main thing you need to keep an eye on is the wick itself. For these top down electric candle warmers you will have to empty a layer of wax every now and then once it no longer has fragrance. Other than removing old wax, you just need to place a candle on the warmer and turn the warmer on.
Pretty easy and convenient. You just place a candle on the warmer and turn the warmer on. If your candle is not melting all the way through, you will need to change to a smaller candle. Once you have a candle that works for your plate warmer, you will just warm it until there is no more fragrance being given off.
When that happens you can either dumb the melted wax and reuse the container or replace the candle with another one. With this style of candle warmer you have the choice between using the wax melt heater or removing that and using the jar candle warmer which is exactly the same as using the bottom up plate style warmer. Some candles, especially those with natural ingredients, will have set expiration dates, while others are good forever.
Wax melts are a bit different. Rather than coming in one big jar full of a big wax clump, wax melts come in packs of bars that break off into individual pieces, almost like a candy bar. Overall, wax melts in candle warmers are going to last longer than your traditional candle, as each little bar of wax will have a pretty long burn time. Safety is paramount in every situation, of course.
Most candle warmers today are electric, meaning that they require no flame at all. Another thing that you need to think about is whether soot is something you care about. Some landlords will not allow candles in their rental houses, as the soot will yellow the walls and the windows over time.
The same thing will happen if cigarettes are smoked indoors. In producing soot, candles with traditional wicks are also often producing harsher chemicals into the air, like lead. Not only might this impact your or your family if you have allergies, asthma, or are prone to headaches, but it also has an impact on the fragrance itself. That means that you can either amp up or bring down your scent throw with no hardship at all.
In addition, you have the option to mix multiple bars of wax together to create your own custom scent. First and foremost, you could simply buy two or more of the same candles and have them all going at once. If you are in a bind or really just at a loss, though, that is a solid plan to fall back on. You could also take into account the size of the room you want to burn the candle in.
The more space you have in the room, the more space over which the scent will naturally end up dissipating. Burning candles in smaller rooms will create stronger scent throws.
Burning candles in bigger rooms will make the scents more subtle. Your house, your smells. However, it is indisputable that in the case of a candle warmer versus burning a candle, there are many differences, including scent throw, lasting power, and safety. Like this article?

Similar to the office space, I have lived in many apartments that state in the lease that you are not allowed to burn candles. But a great way to get around it, while still following the rules, is to use a candle warmer.
Be sure to check the language of your lease, but many will only cite a burning candle and any form of an open flame. While you may be able to leave the warmer running for hours on end, you will still have questions regarding how long the candle itself will last.
You will typically go through candles quicker on warmers, but only because you use them more. They will burn off at roughly the same rate as a wick candle would. If you opt for a warmer model, they may burn slightly faster. True to its name — the candle warmer only warms the wax. By warming it, it dispenses the scent into the air rather than burning the wax down. You will know the candle is done once the scent dies out.
The candle will emit less and less scent until it is scentless. Fun Fact: Using a warmer will typically release stronger scents because the wax is not melting away. As you monitor your usage, place the candle warmer in a safe area, and follow any safety instructions from the manufacturer. This way you can safely fill your house with pumpkin spice or whatever scents you wish to use. I love candles!
I have personally tried over brands of candles. The total burn time of these candles is over hours. I also talk about essential oil diffusers and reed diffusers. Essential oil diffusers and diffusers are also an important part of the scent in my home.
