I can’t be the only person who has struggled to melt wax this month. It’s been so warm, everything has been an energy zapper and overall it’s been a busy Summer! But I wanted, no I NEEDED to experience and hopefully enjoy the fragrances coming from the wax melts in Glow’s Ruffles At The Palace August Wax Melt Subscription Box I received a couple of weeks ago. So how did these pieces melt?
Once Upon A Time
I knew at first sniff I would love this because it has a fruity/sweetie like scent to it which I enjoy. This is a mix of fruits which gives it a mouth wateringly sweet scent. Tropical (pineapple), some citrus notes in here because I get a little zest and freshness in this. And berries. Absolutely delicious!
Glass Slipper
This reminds me of a scent I’ve smelt before in wax but can’t put my finger on the scent name. But yet again another fragrance that is sweetly scented. Fruit is definitely at the forefront but doesn’t have the zest element that Once Upon A Time does. In fact, it has a creaminess to it that I think (and love) of when I smell anything containing vanilla.
Tale As Old As Time
Floral scented but not heavily floral. I suspect more white florals rather than coloured because of it’s intensity. Quite light but like Glass Slipper there is vanilla in this.
Three Wishes
Oh this is something special! I know there’s berries in this (raspberry and strawberries) but when I first got a whiff of this I thought I smelt rose. Not horrible, old fashioned rose. A beautiful rose, with depth and a slight darkness/musk which was quite seductive. But no…it’s strawberries, raspberries, orange oil and vanilla musk! Whatever is in this it’s beautiful.
Enchanto
This has an almost bubblegum style scent to this! Sweet, fruity, a little on the tropical side. Just when I thought Once Upon A Time gave me a sugar rush I realised that this gave me a bigger one!
In Melt
All of these melted quite quickly and evenly. Each one left behind a beautiful slightly shimmering wax pool which was a joy to see! Since each one was differently coloured each wax pool was just as unique as their fragrance.
Strength & Longevity
Each one of these wax pieces were medium in strength. I didn’t use too much, in fact I may have underused with some of these. But they filled the rooms they melted in well, not overpowering almost natural in fact. Longevity is a hard one to answer as I didn’t melt all of these pieces as long as I normally would. But each one was melted for a good number of hours at a time and remained consistent in scent and strength.
Recommended?
This is a great collection of wax melts. Beautifully made, so look wise spot on and in keeping with the theme. Good sizes which should provide hours and hours of fragrance per piece and the wax pools were simple in style but eye catching. And the fragrances? All of them have similarities so feel as if they are part of a collection, but each one different and independent to each other. Recommended? Of course! Loved this subscription box! I can’t wait to try out another month, with another theme and new fragrances.
