A wax melt includes between about one and about sixty percent by weight of paraffin wax, between about 3 percent and about 20 percent by weight of fragrance, and between about 10 percent and about 35 percent by weight of a silicate. The silicate causes between about 97 percent and about 98 percent of a wax melt weight to be retained over a time period of about sixteen hours when maintained at about sixty-five degrees Celsius.
