How does it work?
The Relm Smart Candle acts a bit like a wax warmer, but has a number of smart features that sets it apart from the rest. It starts with the device's innovative no-spill wax removal feature, making switching scents a breeze. All you have to do it pop your choice of wax on top and let the beautiful scent engulf you and your home. Once it's melted and you're ready to switch it out, you just twist the top, leave for a few seconds and then remove it. It's as easy as that!
Relm have also introduced a feature called Wax Feathering, crafted to enhance your aromatherapy experience by prolonging your wax life and saving you money. This sustainable solution gradually cools and warms your wax, extending its longevity and ensuring an even and consistent distribution of fragrance. It's all about making the most of your favourite scents without needing constant replacements - saving you time, energy and money.
For added convenience, Relm's smart scheduling feature also enables you to craft an experience that perfectly aligns with your preferences and lifestyle. This includes preheating, leveraging location-based triggers, adjusting ambient lighting to your liking and enabling wax feathering.
Relm also has numerous lighting settings, perfect for crafting a captivating ambiance and atmosphere in your space. The device's personalised mood lighting feature serves as the canvas, allowing you to paint your surroundings with hues that gracefully complement your chosen aroma.
