As a wax melt lover and user, I have my favourite fragrance families and scents I like to use regularly. But I also like to try new and unusual scented wax pieces as well. Pretty Home Aromas (formally Pretty Candles) is a wax melt vendor I’ve wanted to purchase from for awhile. It seemed the perfect opportunity to try them out when they had a 50% off sale towards the end of last year/beginning of this. The first Pretty Home Aromas wax melt pot that I melted was Gin & Tonic. This cost 60p (30g) down from £1.20.
Why did I buy this?
I LOVE gin! But how does this translate into fragrance and wax? This was too intriguing to miss out on and I needed to know what this was like scent wise.
How does this look?
Gin & Tonic Wax Melt Pot comes in a small, clear, lidded pot. The wax itself looks so pretty in a simple way. It has a marble like look to it made up of mint green and white colours. Lovingly lavished with a healthy sprinkle of green coloured glitter on top.
Pretty Home Aromas Scent Description
The sharp scent of gin blended with a zingy citrus tonic.
In Melt
This melted evenly and quickly. And when it was totally molten it turned into a pool of glittery sea moss green coloured liquid. It took very little time for the fragrance to be released as the scent was clearly there when cold before it warmed through.
Fragrance
Gin & Tonic is a fresh and clean scent. Zesty in more of a lime way rather than lemon. Sharp but not overpowering and quite energising. It’s so hard to describe this scent as its not a fruity inspired gin fragrance but more the traditional, simple but delicious gin served with tonic…and this literally is THAT smell!
Strength & Longevity
I wasn’t too sure how strong this would be as I used half of this little pot, but goodness me! I put this on in the kitchen in the morning and by afternoon this had travelled to the living room. So strength is medium to strong. Longevity is excellent. This has been melting for 3 days for a good number of hours at a time and the scent is still there. I’ve only changed the wax because I wanted a change not because the fragrance had gone from this.
Recommended?
What I love about Gin & Tonic Wax Melt Pot is its the total opposite to other gin inspired wax melts I’ve tried. The one’s I’ve melted before have been sweet and fruity , whereas this is zesty and clean. It’s one of those scents I think the majority of people would love because in an odd way its so neutral. A great one for the kitchen as it would help to cut through smells and a perfect melt during Spring and Summer. So this is definitely a winner!
