A unitary scented wax article sized and shaped such that when melted, the volume of molten wax produced therefrom substantially matches the critical volume of a spill resistant container adapted to receive the wax article therein. The wax article further preferably “fits” within the spill resistant container as if it were cast in place in the spill resistant container. The invention further includes a packaged wax article apparatus comprising a flexible clear vacuum-formed plastic “clamshell” package having the wax article removably contained therein.
