There are many scents I enjoy when it comes to using wax melts. There is such a variety available which makes my favourites list LONG! But one that is high up there and never fails to bring a smile to my face is a scent called Fireside. Can’t remember how I was introduced to this fragrance, or by who, but I absolutely adore it! Recently I was very lucky to be gifted a Fireside wax clam snap bar from a wax vendor called Secret Scents Home Fragrance.
Packaging. This wax comes in a sturdy plastic casing, which to open you simply pull up the top of it to release. The label is super classy. Black in colour, scent name included along with brand and finished off with a gold ribbon secured to the top. Beautiful and very sophisticated!
Scent. Fireside evokes feelings for me rather than actual scents so I’ve had to really focus on how it smells rather than how it makes me feel. Think fresh but with musk and woody notes. Dashes of incense and a hint of delicate sweetness. Quite manly in a certain way but also warming, comforting and truly intoxicating.
Appearance. Once you open the casing you can see the wax is off white in colour. Plain and very simple. Turn it around and you can see it becomes a little more special and festive, with a generous addition of various sized glitter in red, green and silver. You can see how the wax is segmented in 6 very chunky square, which you snap off to use.
In melt. Before this turned from a solid to liquid, the scent that was given off was so obvious and quite strong. And melted just made this scent get stronger and stronger. The cube melted away to reveal an off white coloured pool with little dots of the glitter visible.
The scent itself traveled through my kitchen beautifully. In fact, not just the kitchen into the living room too. It just gave such a warm, cosy and safe feel inside which made me love it more and more.
Strength & Longevity. This is strong! I’ve always experienced this particular scent to be a powerful one regardless of where I have bought the wax from so I expected nothing less. And this packs a punch! Because of the type of scent it is I don’t feel it’s too much but its not a weak fragrance in anyway, shape or form. Longevity is fantastic. One cube of this has been melting away for over 3 days for around 12 hours in total and it’s still going.
Recommended? Yes! Firstly, as a new wax vendor, I am very impressed. The packaging I love and shows a great eye for detail. It stands out which will make this brand memorable. Secondly is the quality of the wax. I’ve melted different pieces of wax piece from Secret Scents Home Fragrance, not just this one. And all of them have delivered great strength and scent which is what you want. So no hit wonder here! £6.50 for a wax clam snap bar will provide hours of fragrance for any room in the house, which is totally affordable.
