Or both! This is such a personal choice and depends very much on what you are after. Candles can be decorative when not lit (see our Unique Candles) and when they are lit they throw lovely little flickering dancing flames making for a very cosy or romantic ambience. They bring warmth to your home/dining table. Wax melts can emit much stronger scents, so if it's just fragrance you are after, this may be the option for you. You will still need unscented tea lights though to warm your oil burner so the wax melts, so just make sure you get tea lights made from natural waxes (you can buy them here), as burning a paraffin tea light for a natural wax melt would cancel all your efforts for cleaner air in your home!
