We all have our favourite scents that we want to enjoy in our homes. There is nothing more inviting than walking into a room that smells fabulous, right? I’m currently in love with some of the typical Autumn and Winter inspired scents. They tend to give a cosy feel to a room, which is ideal when the weather is damp, dark and chilly. No surprise then that I’ve been melting Hot Apple Pie Wax Melts from Mrs Mac Candles. I bought a selection of these around a month ago. This came in the form of 2 discs and normally £1.75, but I bought these when there was a 40% off sale.
Why did I buy this?
I follow Mrs Mac Candles on Instagram. Never ordered from them before, but their wax melts have always looked so appealing. Great variation of scents available and super affordable. So they’ve always been on my to order list. Being a new vendor to me, getting these at a discounted rate gave me a great opportunity to try them out without spending too much. The actual scent Hot Apple Pie is an easy purchase for me because I love bakery scents and this scent is perfect to hermit with inside!
How do these look?
I have never had wax melts look like this before which made these already very special. What came was two discs roughly 4cm in size. A beautiful shade of mint green, with an eye catching raised design on the top of each. Finished off with what I always love to see is a little magical sparkle from glitter! Wrapped up in a clear plastic sleeve. So incredibly pretty and packaged simply and practically.
Fragrance.
Just as I had hoped and expected. A warming hit of cinnamon with spices (possibly being cloves and nutmeg) mixed in which gave it warmth and depth. Of course it wouldn’t be Hot Apple Pie without the scent of apples! Just ripened juicy apple cutting through giving it that fruity, clean and not too sharp element to this scent. A gorgeous and classic combo.
In melt.
I used one in my warmer, and found because these are quite thin, they really didn’t take too long to melt all the way through. The wax pool left was the same shade of gorgeous green as when it was solid, with the glitter floating around the top. I liked this scent in the kitchen because it fooled me into thinking I was in the middle of baking which I wasn’t! A very homely feel this scent provided which was slowly released as the wax melt/disc became molten.
Strength & Longevity.
Strength wise this was a medium. The fragrance was obviously there and you could easily pick it up in the room but it wasn’t clawing. Some fragrances that have a spicy element to them can be very strong which I’m glad this one wasn’t. I had this melting for over 2 days and it performed very well. After that, I did feel it needed to be changed strength wise but I also just wanted a change of fragrance. When I use a wax melt, bare in mind I have these melting for hours not just an hour or two a day. So believe me when I say these were worth the price!
Recommended?
Considering this is a new wax melt vendor to me I’m so glad I’ve tried them. These particular wax melts smelt great and gave me what I had hoped for. They performed very well, they looked fantastic and dare I say would make great gifts for Christmas or any other gift giving occasion. So totally recommended and I am glad I ordered other wax melts too!
