wherein the first and second themes are each selected from the group consisting of: a perfume mixture, holiday, season, a graphic on a container for containing the first or second breakable wax melts, and combinations thereof,
wherein the first and second breakable wax melts comprise different perfume mixtures that correspond with the first and second themes, and
wherein the first and second breakable wax melts each comprise at least two shaped portions that are joined together along at least one frangible connecting portion, wherein the first and second breakable wax melts are breakable about the frangible connecting portion,
wherein the shaped portions of the first breakable wax melt have a different shape than the first shape of the first breakable wax melt, and wherein the shaped portions of the second breakable wax melt have a different shape than the second shape of the second breakable wax melt.

3. The array of claim 1 , wherein the at least two shaped portions are substantially the same weight.

4. The array of claim 1 , wherein the at least two shaped portions of the first breakable wax melt have a symmetrical shape.

5. The array of claim 1 , wherein the at least two shaped portions of the second breakable wax melt have an asymmetrical shape.

6. The array of claim 5 , wherein at least two of the shaped portions have different thicknesses.

7. The array of claim 1 , wherein the first shape is substantially droplet shape and the second shape is a flower.

8. An array of products comprising:
a first container having a first receptacle that is shaped to contain a first breakable wax melt having a first shape that corresponds with a first theme, the first breakable wax melt is contained in the first container;
a second container having a second receptacle that is shaped to contain a second breakable wax melt having a second shape that is different from the first shape, wherein the second container is separate from the first container, wherein the second shape corresponds to a second theme, wherein the first and second receptacles have different shapes and wherein the second breakable wax melt is contained in the second container,
wherein the first and second breakable wax melts each comprise at least two shaped portions that are joined together along at least one frangible connecting portion, wherein the first and second breakable wax melts are breakable about the frangible connecting portion, and
wherein the first and second themes are each selected from the group consisting of: a scent, holiday, season, a graphic on the first or second container, and combinations thereof,
wherein the first breakable wax melt has a first perfume mixture corresponding to the first theme, wherein the second breakable wax melt has a second perfume mixture corresponding to the second theme.
