  • 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.

    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 Ghost Wax Melt Snap Bar

    Let’s talk home fragrance, more specifically wax melts. We all have our favourite scents, a go to fragrance, THAT comforting smell that breathes life into a room. What are yours? I like lots of different scents, especially those that have a perfume type feel and smell to them. So I was very excited to use the recently gifted Home of Honey’s Ghost Wax Melt Snap Bar. I hoped it would provide a pretty scent to the room I used it in. Did it deliver?

    Home of Honey’s Ghost Wax Melt Snap Bar
    Packaging

    Home of Honey’s Ghost Wax Melt Snap Bar comes in the standard clear, plastic casing. Easy to store, easy to open and close and overall practical.

    How does it look?

    This flat, 5 segmented wax bar is a gorgeous shade of pink, with a dark swirl of pink running through it.

    Fragrance

    This is a clear mix of rose and white florals, so giving depth (rose) and something lighter and less heavier in smell (white). There’s a slight fruitiness to this so it’s quite uplifting and overall a very pretty fragrance. This SMELLS like a perfume. Is it a dupe of the fragrance Ghost? Dare I confess I’ve never actually smelt it but if it smells like this I need to!

    Strength & Longevity

    The strength of Ghost is light to medium. It’s not the strongest scent I’ve ever smelt but it lightly lingers. I think this is how the particular scent behaves because I’ve had different brands of this before and they act the same why. It’s noticeable and I think it’s the right strength for the type of fragrance it is. Longevity is decent. I’ve had this melted for a few hours over two days and it hasn’t died and I still get hits of it.

    This is a beautiful fragrance. If you love your perfume inspired scents and those that are more on the ‘pretty’, floral side, this is for you! I can’t see too many people who wouldn’t like this because it’s not offensive and incredibly nice on the nose. Only £2.50 for this wax melt snap bar and is available on the website here.

  • Breathtaking Rancher Wax Melt From Strawberry’s Wax Creations

    Buying and using wax melts to fragrance a home is addictive. Anything that makes an area of a home smell nice and makes it inviting will be something you would want to recreate regularly if not everyday. So it’s no wonder wax melts are popular. One UK wax vendor I purchase my wax melts from is Strawberry’s Wax Creations (formally known as Strawberry Melts). A wax melt I bought from in a past restock was Breathtaking Rancher.

    Breathtaking Rancher Wax Melts by Strawberry’s Wax Creations
    Why did I buy this wax melt?

    This is what I call a fusion, a merge of two separate scents. Breathtaking I’ve had before on its own. Not my usual go to scent but I found it quite interesting. Rancher is a scent that IS my typical go to and I just wanted to see if they would work together.

    How does this look?

    A trio of three chunky wax shapes consisting of a love heart, star and flower. All three being the same colouring which is the softest of green topped off with a darker shade of green. Each shape being the perfect size to pop in a wax warmer.

    Strawberry’s Wax Creations Scent Description

    Top notes of lemon, sweet orange and aloe waters. Middle notes of white pepper, white eucalyptus and a steam room accord. Bottom notes of sea moss, beach wood and clear musk. Rancher – Super sweet, super fun. Just like the pineapple flavoured candy.

    Fragrance

    The three melts were in a plastic wrapper and when opened up the first thing that hit me was a juicy, ripe, sweet hit of pineapple. Mouthwatering, the type that makes you dribble. Even more so because its not just the smell of pineapple…oh no…but with added syrupy sugar that smells of pineapple flavoured sweets. Not that dissimilar to a pineapple cube if you’ve never tried a rancher. After the fruitiness came a more earthy, crisper and cleaner scent underneath which is what I’ve gotten before while melting Breathtaking on its own in the past. Somehow these two work and don’t fight each other but compliment.

    In melt

    I popped one of these into my warmer and slowly but surely it melted away leaving a beautiful sea green pool of wax. The scent was already there, and like so many wax melts from Strawberry Melts the scent grew and grew and filled the room rather than deliver a massive hit and then linger and disappear.

    Strength & Longevity

    Medium to strong in strength. Obvious but not heady. Important for me at the moment with suffering from hay fever as my head can be super sensitive. Longevity was very good. I changed my wax to a new one purely for a change rather than the scent had gone, and this was melting away for at least a good 4 hours at a time for 4 days.

    A curious blend which I’m glad I took a chance on. I seem to be finding some brilliant blends at the moment that on paper don’t quite match but do in real life work! And if there was anytime to melt this THIS would be the perfect time of year, due to it having that tropical Summery smell. I would love to see this come up for sale again and give this a massive thumbs up. Not available at the moment as the scents and wax changes regularly but visit Strawberry’s Wax Creations website here to see what is currently up for purchase and to keep tabs on this making a reappearance.

  • 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.

    Scents of Smell’s A Birthday Wish Wax Bar
    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.
