As a wax melt lover, I got very excited when I found out B&M were selling wax melts from the laundry brand Surf. I love laundry scents as there’s nothing nicer, fresher and cleaner fragrance wise to use in your home. So of course when I found them I had to give them a go. Costing only £1.50 each and available in 3 different fragrances, I picked up Deep Blue. What was it like?
Packaging
These wax melts come in a rectangular and thin cardboard box. It has a look of how laundry powder/products are packaged in regards to colour and design. Looking at actual Surf Deep Sea products, the colour and images are exactly the same so ties in with the brand perfectly.
How do the wax melts look?
Deep Sea wax melts comes in a thin, all white bar. Segmented, so easy to use a square at a time, with each square having a butterfly shape on them which are slightly raised. White in colour, no glitter or pigments and quite sizeable, covering two thirds of the length of my hand.
Fragrance
Fresh, clean, powdery with a slight marine like scent to it. A great fragrance if you want something that isn’t floral or fruit based. This is very neutral in fragrance, most people will like it and smells like a traditional laundry scent.
In melt
I used one square of this wax melt and found it took a little time to become liquid. The fragrance took time to kick in too. A lot of laundry scented wax melts I’ve used in the past I’ve found the fragrance shoots through quickly, but this didn’t. It took awhile for this to come through but was pleasant when it finally did.
Strength & Longevity
When the wax finally got going, the strength of this went from a light to medium to light. It took time to build and as soon as it did the scent got less to the point I turned my wax warmer off. It seemed pointless having it on! Longevity? Poor, not great. I had this melting in two different rooms and it didn’t particularly impress me.
Recommended?
No. I’ve melted LOTS of laundry scented wax melts that were punchy and strong and long lasting, and this wasn’t. So disappointing! Especially coming from an actual laundry product brand! Such a shame as I liked the packaging, the size and look of the wax melts but because of how it performed I won’t be buying this again.
