Home fragrance brands building wax melts, simmer pot kits, and stovetop potpourri blends are a distinct buyer category from candle makers, even though the raw oil is the same. This page is part of our Guide to Buying Clove Essential Oil in Bulk.

Wax melts and simmer pots both depend on an aroma that reads strongly at low, ambient heat rather than a hot flame, and clove's warm, spicy profile carries well in that format, a use case built out in clove oil for home fragrance crafts: wax melts and simmer pots.
Stovetop and dried-bowl potpourri is a related but separate product line, and the ratios and dried-material pairings that work for potpourri differ from a wax melt formulation, a distinction covered in DIY clove potpourri: stovetop and dried-bowl recipes and in clove simmer pot recipes: five stovetop blends for the holidays.
Wax melt formulators generally work at a higher fragrance load than candle makers since melts are not burned and can carry a stronger scent without soot concerns, so a buyer moving from candles into melts should expect to use more oil per batch, not less.
Simmer pot and potpourri kits are seasonal by nature, which means demand concentrates heavily in the months before the holidays; buyers in this category should place pound-tier orders early enough to avoid a supply gap during peak season.
A wax melt brand typically samples at 2 oz or 4 oz, formulates a full seasonal line at 5 lbs or 25 lbs, and moves to 100 lbs once a holiday collection is confirmed for production.
