Since I’m not much of a candle girl, wax melts are my go to for home fragrancing. I use and change them regularly depending on my mood, and how I want a room in my home to smell like. So, as you can imagine I have quite a sizeable collection of different shaped, coloured and fragranced wax melts. New wax melts that have been added to my collection were kindly given to me by UK based wax melt vendor Home of Honey. My current wax melting is Golden Orchid Wax Melt Disc. A pack of 6 costs £5.00.
How do these look?
These came as a set of 6 and are disc shaped. Very thick and chunky in appearance. Cream in colour with a generous dusting of golden glitter on the top of them. These are simple in look but really do look beautiful and matches the fragrance name perfectly.
Fragrance
This has a laundry style scent to it. It’s a mix of different florals which gives it a sweetness and a feminine feel. Plus it has powdery notes giving an added cleanness. It’s a great fragrance and smells quite expensive too.
In melt
It took a little time to melt through because this is quite a chunky wax melt. But when it did there was a gold circle almost embedded into the clear, molten wax. The fragrance was there immediately even before the wax was heated through.
Strength & Longevity
Strength of Golden Orchid was light to medium. I used one whole disc in the wax warmer in my living room and half a disc in the hallway. I got the fragrance in both these areas but it wasn’t as strong as I thought it would be. I’m used to laundry inspired fragranced to be at times overpowering which this wasn’t. It did behave differently in the two rooms so I would be interested in trying another room to see how it performs. Longevity wise I had this melting for 2 days until I wanted to change the wax melt and the fragrance was still there.
Recommended?
Golden Orchid is a beautiful fragranced piece of wax. I can’t see many people not liking it. Not everyone wants a power house wax melt and if you want something that isn’t, this is perfect. If you want something stronger, I would try something else. Home of Honey has LOTS of different wax melts available in different fragrances to choose from.
