So many people love using wax melts. They’re such a good way to fragrance a room and home, with a huge variety of fragrances and wax forms available everywhere. The good thing about them is on the whole they aren’t expensive and are really affordable. One of the cheapest wax melts I’ve bought was James & Co Fragrance’s Berries Wax Melt from Home Bargains for only 49p! How did I find it?
Packaging
Berries Wax Melt comes in a small, cardboard box with an opening on the front so you can see the wax. I like the fact this is cardboard and not plastic. It looks good and is different to the usual packaging wax melts come in.
The wax itself
This wax melt comes as a wax melt snap bar. Purple in colour, chunky and made up of 6 segments that need to be snapped off for use.
Fragrance
This is a mix of sweet fruity berries. Quite simple in scent and predictable, but nice.
Strength & Longevity
I used two of these segments in a wax warmer in the hallway. Once melted, the area got the scent coming through, but it wasn’t particularly strong. So I would say strength is low. Longevity wise it wasn’t fully tested to be honest. Since the strength wasn’t there and the fragrance wasn’t too obvious, I simply turned my wax warmer off. The scent was nice but not strong enough to stay on for my needs.
Recommended?
Price and packaging wise this is a great wax melt. The wax melt itself has a good scent to it but honestly I’ve smelt better and stronger. Would I buy this again or recommend it? No, not in this fragrance. But I would happily try another fragrance to see if the strength comes through better.
