Gel Wax Melts
Gel wax melts are very popular due to the longer burn time than other types of wax. Gel wax can last up to twice as long as traditional wax melts made with paraffin or soy wax. This is due to the slower burn time. Fragrances last longer too!
It is so easy to use and when you are finished with your gel melt you can peel it out of your burner with ease!

Let customers speak for us
from 34 reviewsThe smell of this candle is so nice and the colour of the pot matches exactly! Can’t wait to try the St Ives one too!

The tombola was a great idea and I won twice!! I'm so happy, I got a beautiful tray and a lovely candle.

We bought the Afternoon Tea candle from Oleilu and absolutely love it. The sweet scent is warm and comforting without being overpowering. The unique pot is beautifully designed too, people have asked us about it even when it's not lit.

The owner is lovely and makes beautiful smelling candles. The pot themselves look unique and it's great that they offer refills in the same pot. Afternoon tea is one of my favourite scents and is a lovely carming aroma.

This candle smells as good as it looks - beautiful 😊

This flower tray is so cute, i love the size and shape and the quality! I use mine to put my necklaces on.

Had the most wonderful morning with my 7 year old daughter making the Jesmonite trays. Michaela was extremely helpful and informative and everyone had a wonderful time. Can not recommend this workshop highly enough! Thank you!

Had a custom made candle and it arrived looking exactly how I wanted it to, actually even better!
The smell is to die for and that's without even lighting it
Thank you Michaela for making my candle so perfect and cannot wait to order again !

Just had 2 lovely coasters for a present absolutely love them. Grey colour with gold flakes, they look perfect in my lounge. The morrocan style is very stylish. I’m going to order 2 more to match them. Thank you Michaela x

I asked for a blue and white ring holder…. And that’s just what I got 💙 looks lovely on my bedside table and keeps my rings safe! Thank you to Oleilu for your friendly bespoke service ☺️

This gel melt smells amazing. you can smell it even when its not been lit that day! Love that. Such a great find from a lovely business. Of course ill order more!

I’ve always had wax melts but found getting the wax out the burners a nightmare, then I came across gel melts from Oleilu and the Nour scent is so nice, the smell is divine, even when the melt isn’t burning you can smell the scent, I would highly recommend these gel melts.

I bought some of the Moroccan coasters and absolutely love them. They’re so well made and look amazing. Everyone always comments on them and say how nice they are.

Such a fresh smell, not too overpowering and love the easy peel benefit!

Came exactly as I pictured it- beautifully original ! Always such high quality all the way down to the packaging, will be ordering more in the future :)
