Who doesn’t love a subscription box? As long as it contains products we want and/or need most of us would agree they are a brilliant idea. The best part about it is you can get a subscription box containing pretty much anything these days. Food, drink, bath and body products and even wax melts (and more of course). It’s taken me a few weeks to be able to use and enjoy the gifted Crime Scene Investigators April Wax Subscription Box from UK based business Glow. But now I can reveal EXACTLY what these wax melts smell like and how they performed.
Blood Orange & Oakwood Wax Melt
Uplifting and zesty (but not sickly sweet) orange mixed in with the woody, slightly masculine oak wood with a hint of floral. This combination is AMAZING and surprised me as I’ve never smelt anything like this before.
Gunpowder Tea & Minerals
Gunpowder Tea & Minerals has an almost smoky smell to it. Think of a fire that’s just died out and the smell of it lingers. But with this it also has a sea like mineral hint to it which gives it a little freshness. There’s quite a bit of musk to this one, so it’s not for the faint hearted but I really like it!
In The Shadows
This is a beautiful blend of floral and fruit. The fruity element is the very distinctive rhubarb and the floral isn’t heavy, so possibly white florals rather than something heady like rose. It’s a gorgeous fragrance and perfect to melt during Summer. This is a winner for anyone who loves the smell of rhubarb and I love rhubarb.
Sun kissed Raisins & Autumn Leaves
Sun kissed Raisins & Autumn Leaves has an almost bakery/fruity like scent to it. There’s spices in this giving it warmth and depth. There’s a plant like element to it so a little earthy. But there’s sweetness to this and something very comforting which I suspect is vanilla. I can’t fault this fragrance!
Musk Till Dawn
Musk Till Dawn is a glorious mix of woody notes and creamy, sweet coconut with a hint of floral. I would never have put these elements together but they work perfectly. This possibly could be my favourite wax melt in this subscription box.
How did they perform?
All of these wax melts were medium in strength. They filled each room they were melting in so well I couldn’t help but smell them. Longevity wise these lasted for hours. With all of these melts having some form of shimmering pigment on them, each wax pool was very pretty to look at. And all colours of the wax were varied so not one wax pool looked like another.
Recommended?
Every subscription box I’ve received from Glow I always think the next one can’t top it and then the following one does! The theme of this is incredibly creative but the actually scents are out of this world! I’ve never smelt any like this before and the fragrance choices are definitely risky as they aren’t typical, but worth it. Of course the overall quality is high and longevity great with obvious time and care taken putting this together. If anyone is thinking about purchasing a wax melt subscription box, look no further than Glow!
