Yet again Instagram has a lot to answer for! If you have a shopping problem and you don’t want to spend your money DO NOT GO ON THERE IT’S EVIL! I can honestly say that my recent wax and beauty purchases have been triggered by this social media platform, which pretty much is an online catalogue of things I want to buy. One of my latest fragranced wax purchases has come from a wax vendor called The Rose and Thistle Wax Patisserie. I bought a few different pieces but the one I’m focusing on today is the Cherry Bakewell wax melts.
Decisions..decisions..why? This was my first purchase from them, but after being given some wax brittle by this vendor as a gift from a friend, I was very impressed by the quality so decided to buy some wax for myself and gifts for others. This particular wax I chose because I love sweet/fruity/bakery scents but never had this one in the past. And these wax melts looked super cute and very affordable ( £1.60 for a pack of 2 ) so why not?
Appearance. This fragrance came in two small wax melts both shaped as skulls. Both the perfect size for one use in a wax warmer. A blend of slightly different shades of reddish pink, finished off with a few random dots of large glitter really gives these the wow factor.
Scent. WOAH! I opened the packet and this scent hit me. Definitely no mistaking what scent this is supposed to be as it smells just like a cherry bakewell tart! Think of the almond infused marzipan, the super sweet icing, the glacier cherry on the top and don’t forget the pastry base. A total replica scent wise in my book and a brilliant one too!
In melt. I only needed one melt and this slowly melted away submerging this poor little skull in its own waxy blood. Gorgeous wax pool created with a slight shimmer to it. The scent exactly as described as above when warmed through and was a total delight to experience.
Strength and longevity. Strength I would say is a medium but a punchy medium. Totally filled a smallish kitchen but what impressed me was at the time I was cooking some pretty pungent smelling food which this little melt fought off like a solider which was impressive! I had this melting over 2 days for a minimum of 8 hours and this lasted that time period very well. Changed, as per usual, as I just wanted a change of scent.
Recommended? If this ever comes up during a restock in the future from The Rose and Thistle Wax Patisserie then buy it please I beg of you because I will! If you love your bakery scents this is a must! It genuinely is one of the best bakery scents I’ve ever smelt and on the whole, the wax produced from this vendor is exceptionally pretty and its so good to know first hand these not only look great but smell amazing too!
