  • Apple Spice Wax Melt Snap Bar From Home of Honey Candle Co

    We’re now in a season when home fragrance products are the best! The scent choices, the products available, all fitting for the colder months we are now heading into. Which for many of us mean we spend more time inside, or at least are trying to make our homes more comfortable ready for the seasonal change. Without fail, my beloved wax melts are ready to be used and I’ve just started to use wax from a selection I was kindly given by wax vendor Home of Honey Candle Co last month. My first wax melt of choice was Apple Spice, so what is it like?

    How does it look?

    Apple Spice came in a traditional wax melt snap bar made up of 5 segments. A sprinkle of green and iridescent glitter on the front of this bar makes it stand out. The wax itself colour wise seems to be a mix of pale green and off white. A very attractive bar of wax which reflects it’s fragrance name. Neatly packaged in a clear plastic sleeve with a white bow to finish off the presentation.

    Fragrance

    Sweet, juicy apple rolled into a mix of different spices including (I’m guessing) cinnamon, mixed spice and possibly nutmeg. This is a gorgeous blend of scents combined into one, making this fragrance fruity, warming and very bakery like in how it smells. It has an almost apple crumble smell to it, but not quite, although just as good.

    In melt

    I popped 2 segments of Apple Spice in 2 different wax warmers (one positioned in the living room, the other in the hallway). They both melted evenly and quite quickly and released fragrance straight away. The scent grew and was more noticeable as time went on, which made the fragrance feel and smell very natural.

    Strength & Longevity

    Apple Spice is medium in strength. Think of something baking in the oven and that scent floats around the kitchen. It’s not strong, it definitely isn’t weak. It’s there, it smells good and you enjoy that scent so much you can’t wait to take out whatever is in the oven. This is what Apple Spice makes me think of in regards to how it smells, how it lingers in the air and the general feel it gives. Longevity, this wax melt bar lasted 2 days in 2 locations before the strength lessened. But they were melting for a good number of hours at a time.

    Apple Spice is a yummy scent. It screams Autumn and Winter. It’s warming and comforting, it’s not sickly sweet but is very much a bakery scent rather than full on fruit. Definitely recommended. Wax melt snap bars cost only £2.50, they come in various fragrances but this is worth adding to your collection!

  • Autumn & Winter Scented Wax Melts By Home of Honey

    Do I have a favourite season for using home fragrance? Autumn and Winter are my favourite times. I spend more time at home wanting to feel snug and cosy, and home fragrance products help to maintain that vibe. Autumn and Winter scents tend to be more richer, heavier, and spicier than scents geared towards Spring and Summer, and I love it! So having a package of wax melts kindly sent to me by wax vendor Home of Honey Candle Co, filled with these types of fragrances, was a welcomed delivery. So what wax melts did I receive?

    Fragrances

    These wax melts scream Autumn and Winter! A great mix of fragrances which are traditional and well known for these seasons. So very much tried, tested and loved. They would appeal to the majority of people, that’s why they are popular in general. I received:

    Caramel Pumpkin, Golden Autumn, Cinnamon & Vanilla, Apple Spice, Vanilla Bean Noel, Candy Cane and 12 Days of Christmas.

    12 Days of Christmas Wax Melts
    What type of wax melts are these?

    All of these wax melts, except one, come in a wax melt snap bar. Long and rectangular, and you snap off how much you want to use and melt. 12 Days of Christmas is a selection of individual wax melt shapes. No need for snapping, just put directly into your wax warmer and go!

    Apple Spice Wax Melt Snap Bar
    How do they look?

    Each wax melt snap bar, although shaped the same, look different. All have a creamy base colour to them, but each have embedded on the front different coloured glitter that nicely reflects the fragrance.

    Caramel Pumpkin is covered in a mix of red and gold glitter. Golden Autumn is gold. Cinnamon & Vanilla is gold with iridescent shards on the top. Apple Spice green. Vanilla Bean Noel is multiple glitter all in pastel shades. Candy Cane festive red. And finally, each wax melt is coloured differently (pink, orange, yellow, blue, cream etc) in 12 Days of Christmas Part 1, but no glitter visible that I can see.

    Candy Cane Wax Melt Snap Bar

    The wax melt snap bars are all in clear sleeves finished off with white bows, which is very cute. 12 Days of Christmas Part 1 wax melts are housed in a large, clear plastic case finished off also with a ribbon. On the front each of the scents of the wax melts are mentioned. What I like about the labels on these wax melts is the Autumn scented ones have a pumpkin on the label and the Winter/Christmas ones have trees on them. Such a lovely idea and good attention to detail.

    First impressions?

    Beautifully presented and packaged. The wax melts themselves look so good you want to melt them immediately and from what I can smell with some of these (not opened them all yet), they smell as good as they look! Great mix of fragrances, all perfectly themed for the seasons, easy to use wax melt forms. What is there not to love so far?

    To purchase Home of Honey’s wax melt snap bars, they only cost £2.50 and come in a variety of fragrances. 12 Days of Christmas Part 1 costs £8.99 which is great value for 12 differently fragranced wax melts. If the seasonal wax melts aren’t what you are looking for, there are plenty of other fragrance types and wax melt shapes on the website to purchase here.

  • My Experience of Wax Melts From Home Of Honey

    There are lots and LOTS of places you can buy wax melts. Supermarkets, discount stores, everywhere. But my favourite way to buy wax melts is direct from wax melt vendors. Their range of fragrances, shapes, sizes and forms are the most imaginative and creative wax you will ever see, and still quite affordable! Here is a lowdown of wax melt products I’ve used from wax vendor Home of Honey. All gifted, many used for every day home fragrancing, so what are they like?

    Shapes

    I love different shapes in wax melts, and Home of Honey gave me lots of different wax melts in a variety of sizes and shapes. From the traditional wax melt snap bar, wax melt pot, small faceted hearts, cloud shapes, crumble. So many different forms with each being easy to use and great on the eyes.

    Colours

    What I like about the colouring of Home of Honey’s wax melts is they are all quite subtle. Beautiful colours, nothing garish, all incredibly pretty with a few that really give the WOW factor. Many pieces finished off with a touch of glitter makes them even more special to look at.

    Fragrances

    A good wax vendor will sell wax melts of varied fragrance types, and Home of Honey is no exception. Floral, laundry, bakery, perfume inspired, I got a chance to try them all! Mint Choc Chip Wax Melt Brittle was mouth watering. Rose Wonderland was a great mix of floral and fruit and Opium Goddess has that expensive, perfume quality to it. Gorgeous!

    Strength & Longevity

    All of the wax melts I’ve used from Home of Honey have been medium in strength. To start off with they’ve been quite light (on the whole), but grown and became more obvious as they’ve melted through. All of them have lasted well longevity wise and I’ve had the chance to use each one for many hours at a time.

Wax melt bear shapes (soooo cute!) £2.50 and wax melt brittle for £3.00. Many more different forms and shapes available in wax form, and lots of different configurations, sets and collections are available for sale.

    I’ve been lucky enough to try lots of different wax melts from Home of Honey. I’ve enjoyed everything about them and found them to provide great home fragrance experiences. Being affordable makes wax melt purchases very easy and less of a special occasion buy and more an everyday item to use. So yes, recommended. The problem that you have is what wax melts do you choose?

  • Home of Honey’s Mint Choc Chip Wax Melt Brittle

    We all have our personal favourites when it comes to scents. I like my scents on the sweeter side, whether that’s personal or home fragrance. So anything bakery based, sweetie or confectionary inspired I’m normally a fan. I couldn’t wait to see what Home of Honey’s Mint Choc Chip Wax Melt Brittle was going to be like in my home when I received it. Gifted, but costs £3.00 for 50g.

    Home of Honey’s Mint Choc Chip Wax Melt Brittle
    How does it look?

    Home of Honey’s Mint Choc Chip Wax Melt Brittle is literally flat, irregular shaped shards of set wax. This is mainly green in colour with shades of darker green running through it. A little dash of glitter randomly sprinkled on top and that’s what this brittle looks like. It looks great, and looks exactly how I would hope it smells like, like mint chocolate!

    Fragrance

    This is a balanced blend of peppermint freshness with cocoa rich, slightly dark and creamy chocolate. It’s a sweet scent but not a sickly one, and it smells just like it’s edible counterpart.

    Strength & longevity

    The initial hit of fragrance when this first started to melt through was impressive. The strength was a medium and I just loved the fact my hallway smelt like mint chocolate! Longevity wise, I’ve had this melted in two rooms over two days and the smell and the strength has remained the same.

    Recommended?

    If you have a love of sweet, food based fragrances like I do you will love this! Not only does it smell just like mint chocolate, but it doesn’t do it in an artificial, sugary way. It smells amazing, the brittle itself looks appealing and you will get a good number of hours of use from one sachet. If you want to purchase this in brittle form, you can grab it here for £3.00. Or you can grab this in different wax melt shapes such as wax snap bars (£2.50) wax melt bears (£2.50) and many more forms all at affordable price points.
