  • Laundry Inspired Home of Honey Candle Co’s Unstoppables Wax Melt Collection

    With a seasonal change comes a change in home fragrance scents. The type of fragrance used in my home isn’t dependant on the time of year. But many of us will switch our scent types when the weather changes. With the sun out and the temperature heating up, I’ve found myself using more fresher, cleaner scents like Home of Honey Candle Co’s Unstoppable Wax Melt Collection. Originally gifted, this collection has been keeping my wax warmer very busy lately. So what is in this collection?

    The wax

    In this collection there are three wax melt snap bars. Each one is in a different fragrance and each coloured differently. One mint green, one pale pink and the other a soft lilac shade. On the back of each you can see they are covered in a liberal dusting of glitter, giving them an added sparkle.

    Fragrances

    The fragrances included are:

    • Dreams Unstoppables – fruity, floral, musky scent with a powdery clean smell to it.
    • Bliss Unstoppables – floral, slightly fruity with subtle woody notes blended through.
    • Spring Unstoppables – floral, berry fruity scent which is uplifting.
    Strength & longevity

    These wax melt snap bars perform so well. The strength of these is just what you hope for from laundry inspired scents which is strong. One square of each of the fragrances in this collection packs a punch and fills whatever space it’s being melted in. Longevity is just as good. I’ve only been changing the wax because I want a different fragrance not because the scent has disappeared. Performance wise I have zero complaints!

  • Scents of Smell A Birthday Wish Wax Melt Snap Bar

    Scents of Smell A Birthday Wish Wax Melt Snap Bar

    Lets talk about wax. As a wax melt lover, I love to get suggestions of where to buy wax from. I haven’t tried every wax vendor in the UK, so being pointed in a new direction is something I’m always open to. One vendor I was recommended to was Scents of Smell. I made an order of a few wax melt snap bars to try this UK based wax vendor out. The first bar I melted was called A Birthday Wish. Each bar ( included this one ) I purchased was £2.50 each.

    Why did I buy this?

    This is a made up of two scents that I’ve melted before separately, so this combination really intrigued me. I would never have put them together myself.

    Scents of Smell Scent Description

    A blend of 1000 wishes and sweet birthday cake.

    Packaging

    Placed in a simple clear plastic sleeve with company and scent name on the front. On the back general warnings and ingredients are listed.

    How does this look?

    Think of a bar of chocolate but wider. This is segmented, so provides an easy way to break any of the 12 squares off to use. A pale baby blue colour, with a lemon yellow trail running through it randomly.

    Fragrance

    Once I opened this up and stuck my nose in the wrapper I knew this was the perfect scent for me. You get 1000 wishes coming through first. This has a perfume scent and feel to it ( it should as its inspired by a branded fragrance ). Sweet, floral, a touch of citrus but with a little musk. Rounded off with the most delicious, cake like smell which reminded me of a Victoria sponge ( think vanilla sponge, cream and jam! ) which had just been freshly cut ready to eat.

    In Melt

    I used three squares in my wax warmer which was the right amount for the room it was fragrancing ( living room ). Depending on the warmer/melter used and room, this may vary. This melted evenly and quickly, and the wax pool it created had a shimmer to it which I wasn’t expecting and really looked beautiful. The scent I smelt before melting and the scent while melting were identical.

    Strength & Longevity

    This is a scent which is strong. When I say strong it’s not strong where its fighting with your nose, but strong in the sense of it holds its own in a room. It stood out against other smells e.g food, and I could even smell this through a closed window as I opened my front door! Longevity is excellent and this scented wax bar really provides great value for money. For 3 days my 3 squares of wax were melting for good duration of time e.g 5 hours on each day, and it still continued to give a great throw of fragrance even after that.

    Lets just say this will be on my list of favourite scents this year ( its slowly growing !). I love scents that surprise me and this did. A Birthday Wish Wax Melt Snap Bar as a perfume and bakery collaboration is beautiful. And the quality of this wax from Scents of Smell is very good. So highly recommended.
