My addiction to home fragrance in the form of wax melts is still very much alive and kicking. And why not? A nice smelling room is a cosy and inviting one, right? And there is something comforting and enjoyable about using waxes during Winter. My most recent wax melt purchases was from Strawberry Melts, with one scent called Home For Christmas. Cost of the pack of two wax melts was £1.99 ( although discounted because of Black Friday ).
Why did I order this one? I haven’t purchased much Christmas inspired scented wax this year, so this was perfect. I thought the scent description sounded appealing and great for this time of year.
Home For Christmas Strawberry Melts scent description. Home for Christmas – A scrumptious mix of boozy sweets, smokey caramel on a tonka and musk base Top – Rum , Orange, Lime Middle – Watermelon, Apple, Pineapple Base – Smoky Caramel, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Musk.
Appearance. These are just the cutest! 2 simple gingerbread style shaped wax melts. Thick and chunky, roughly 2 inches long. On the bottom you can see its mainly a plain mid green coloured wax, but on the top is where the magic happens.Glistening gold, burnt orange and a sprinkle of gold and silver glitter make this simple yet stunning!
Scent. I could smell this straight away once I took one out of the clear plastic packet it came in. Fruity, but in a juicy and ripe exotic way. Some citrus is in there giving it a little freshness. A touch of sweet and creaminess with a hint of musk. Mouthwatering, like a cocktail served while on holiday on a Caribbean island full of home grown fruit and alcohol!
In melt. I used one to melt although it could have easily been halved. I loved how this shape took it’s sweet time melting, and how watching it slowly disappear into the warmed, liquid wax made it appear as if it was drowning! It held its shape right to the very end. What was left was a mesmerizing deep dark green almost black wax pool that shimmered slightly.
Strength & Longevity. Strength wise this is a medium. Strong enough to make my kitchen smell sweet, but not overpowering enough for it to be too much. Longevity as per usual with SW melts was very good. This melted away over 2 days for a good handful of hours providing lots of fragrance.
Recommended? Definitely! Despite what the scent is actually called this could be melted anytime of the year. If you love fruity scents this would make a great addition to your home fragrance wardrobe. Even a bakery lover might like this. It’s moreish, beautiful, not too sweet and one melt will last for AGES! Did I mention how cute and colourful they look too?
