  • Perfume Inspired Home of Honey’s Opium Goddess Wax Melts

    The variety of scents, shapes and colours of the wax melts I was gifted by wax vendor Home of Honey has been impressive! Each one has been very eye catching look wise, easy and fun to use. That’s what made me use Opium Goddess Wax Melts next because of how they appeared. So what are they like?

    Packaging

    Opium Goddess Wax Melts came in a white, large, sachet. A large clear window on the front lets you see what’s inside. But the packaging keeps everything safe and secure and looks good too!

    How do they look?

    What I loved about these wax melts was two things. The colours used and the shapes. Half the wax melts were cream and the other black. Black wax melts isn’t something I see too often, unless it’s Halloween inspired, so I thought that was interesting. The shapes of Opium Goddess were varied. Clouds, strawberries, bars of chocolate, ducks. A very random mixed bag of shapes but I loved it!

    Fragrance

    This has a perfume like scent to it but it’s not strong. Floral, but softly floral. A little powdery with a hint of musk. It’s not a punchy scent but it’s really nice and understated in a good way.

    In melt

    Seeing the two contrasting colours merge together was great to witness. The size of the melts made them go from solid to molten very quickly, and left a dark purple wax pool behind.

    Strength & Longevity

    Honestly? I was worried about these wax melts. When I smelt them before using them I got the scent but it was so light. When melting them (I used about 4/5 wax melts), the fragrance was more noticeable and I would say the strength is light to medium. I normally love powerful wax melts (this isn’t), but there’s something very comforting about how these smell and sit in a room. This is the ideal strength for these wax melts. Longevity is pretty good. I’ve melted the same wax for a few days and the fragrance was still there.

    I really like Opium Goddess Wax Melts! The shapes of them and the colours, it’s very different. The fragrance is a no brainer for me because I like these types of scents so immediately enjoyed it. What I also liked was how unassuming the scent was when used in a room, but was still noticeable. So if you like your wax to look a little quirky, and for your fragrance to to be a part of a room and not overpower it, Opium Goddess Wax Melts could be for you.

  • Home of Honey’s Rose Wonderland Wax Melt, Something Different!

    Anyone who loves wax melts will know how easy it is to become a bit of a hoarder. Buying a few, storing them away, melting one, buying more…it’s very easy to build up a sizeable collection that grows and grows and doesn’t stop! For the last few months melting is all I’ve been doing, and enjoying the wax melts I have rather than adding to my collection. My most recent melt (gifted), and currently in my wax warmer, is Home of Honey’s Rose Wonderland. But what is it like?

    How does it look?

    Rose Wonderland came in a cute and chunky cloud shape. Pink in colour, quite sizeable and enough for two uses.

    Fragrance

    Not what I expected! I thought this would be a floral fruity combination, like rose and rhubarb, but it’s not. Rose Wonderland has a floral rose hint to it but smells more earthy and plant like rather than fully floral. This gives it a fresh and very unusual scent to it. This is great for those people who aren’t fans of rose on it’s own and don’t want a scent that’s too feminine and flowery.

    Strength & Longevity

    I cut the wax melt in half and melted in two different areas. Strength for Rose Wonderland is a medium. I did worry if this would be on the light side because smelling the wax melt before using it the scent was faint. But in the warmer it came alive and really filled the room in an inviting way. Very natural in scent as if that’s how the room was supposed to smell like. I’ve had this melting for hours on one day and so far longevity is good. I can still get the scent, so no complaints.

    Recommended?

    Don’t let the scent name Rose Wonderland fool you because it’s not what you will expect, but better! It’s a different twist to a fresh floral and I love it! Not only is the fragrance great but the size (40g) and shape of this wax melt is generous and easy on the eye. Definitely recommended!

    This fragrance is available in different forms and shapes starting from £1.00, so head over to the website if you want to grab this. Don’t forget, using the code KARINA30 gives you 30% off your next order, so perfect time to try Home of Honey.

  • Home of Honey’s Golden Orchid Wax Melt Discs

    Since I’m not much of a candle girl, wax melts are my go to for home fragrancing. I use and change them regularly depending on my mood, and how I want a room in my home to smell like. So, as you can imagine I have quite a sizeable collection of different shaped, coloured and fragranced wax melts. New wax melts that have been added to my collection were kindly given to me by UK based wax melt vendor Home of Honey. My current wax melting is Golden Orchid Wax Melt Disc. A pack of 6 costs £5.00.

    How do these look?

    These came as a set of 6 and are disc shaped. Very thick and chunky in appearance. Cream in colour with a generous dusting of golden glitter on the top of them. These are simple in look but really do look beautiful and matches the fragrance name perfectly.

    Fragrance

    This has a laundry style scent to it. It’s a mix of different florals which gives it a sweetness and a feminine feel. Plus it has powdery notes giving an added cleanness. It’s a great fragrance and smells quite expensive too.

    In melt

    It took a little time to melt through because this is quite a chunky wax melt. But when it did there was a gold circle almost embedded into the clear, molten wax. The fragrance was there immediately even before the wax was heated through.

    Strength & Longevity

    Strength of Golden Orchid was light to medium. I used one whole disc in the wax warmer in my living room and half a disc in the hallway. I got the fragrance in both these areas but it wasn’t as strong as I thought it would be. I’m used to laundry inspired fragranced to be at times overpowering which this wasn’t. It did behave differently in the two rooms so I would be interested in trying another room to see how it performs. Longevity wise I had this melting for 2 days until I wanted to change the wax melt and the fragrance was still there.

    Golden Orchid is a beautiful fragranced piece of wax. I can’t see many people not liking it. Not everyone wants a power house wax melt and if you want something that isn’t, this is perfect. If you want something stronger, I would try something else. Home of Honey has LOTS of different wax melts available in different fragrances to choose from. Using the code KARINA30 you can get a 30% off discount on your order which means you can sample what they have to offer.

  • New Wax Melts Delivery From Home of Honey

    Wax melts is one of those home fragrance products you can purchase from anywhere. But I still find that small businesses that focus on making and selling these products create the most imaginative wax melts for a home fragrance fix. One UK based wax melt vendor I’ve been introduced to is Home of Honey. They kindly gave me a selection of wax melts a few months ago, and recently sent another box of wax goodies for me to try out. So what did I receive and what did I think about them?

    Opium Goddess Wax Melt Shapes

    Opium Goddess came in a variety of different shapes e.g flowers and hearts, in the colours of cream and black. Very striking because of the unusual choice of colours used. These will be easy to pop straight into a wax warmer.

    Lady Gold Wax Melt Brittle

    This makes me think of Autumn with it’s gold and cream coloured wax brittle. Large shards of flat wax with faceted heart shapes embedded into it. Very beautiful and I will struggle melting this because it looks so good!

    Mint Choc Chip Wax Melt Brittle

    Mint Choc Chip Wax Melt Brittle already looks like how it’s fragranced because it’s dark green with splodges of brown running through it. I’m very interested to find out how true to life this smells because chocolate in wax form can be hit or miss.

    Coconut & Shea Wax Melt Snap Bar

    This is a 5 segmented wax melt snap bar which is cream in colour with a hint of soft purple running through it. Since it’s easy to to open, I could smell this and it smells gorgeous! It has a tropical scent to it which is the hint of coconut, with a creamy, comforting element to it which is the shea.

    Fresh Linen Wax Melt Snap Bar

    Cream and blue in colour, Fresh Linen Wax Melt Snap Bar has that fresh, clean, almost powdery fragrance to it which will delight anyone who loves laundry scents.

    Island Hibiscus & Rainflower Wax Melt Pot

    A super cute green flower shaped piece of wax sits on top of more wax, finished off with green sparkles. Island Hibiscus & Rainflower Wax Melt Pot not only is pretty on the eye but smells INSANE! It has an earthiness to it, think plants. Mixed in with florals and a slight hit of fruitiness. Totally different to anything I’ve ever smelt before and it’s incredible!

    Spring Laundry Wax Melt Crumble

    This wax melt literally is in crumble form, which is fun to see. It comes with a little wooden scoop, which is perfect for anyone who doesn’t want to snap or cut wax. Very easy and efficient to use. Spring Laundry Wax Melt Crumble is a laundry inspired scent. Fresh, clean, floral and strongly fragranced.

    Golden Orchid Wax Melt Discs

    A very different shape to what I usually use, these come in a box of six and are quite thick but flat discs. Cream with a generous amount of gold glitter on the top, these look luxurious!

    Alien Invasion Wax Melt Discs

    Like Golden Orchid, Alien Invasion came in a pack of 6 discs. Same colouring but with a mix of different coloured glitter on them.

    What I love about these wax melts was the different shapes, sizes and fragrances they came in. Home of Honey make and sell a varied mix of wax melts that covers everyone’s home fragrance needs. I’m impressed with how each wax melt looks and the ones I can smell at this stage smell great! So look and smell wise these are already getting ticks off me before they’ve even been used!
