  • The Rose and Thistle Wax Patisserie’s Cherry Bakewell Wax Melts

    Instagram. Instagram is a shop window when you visit certain accounts. You will discover so many businesses you never knew existed. and your credit card won’t thank you for it! This is how I discovered a wax vendor called The Rose and Thistle Wax Patisserie. Beautifully presented wax melts on their post made me buy a few pieces, including Cherry Bakewell. Were they just as good as their name suggests?

    Why did I buy this?

    This was my first purchase from The Rose and Thistle Wax Patisserie, but not my first experience of their wax melts. I was given by a friend wax melt brittle from this business, was so impressed by the quality, stalked them on Instagram then made an order! Since I love bakery scents, and these wax melts were nicely shaped, I thought I would give these a go.

    What do these wax melts look like?

    Cherry Bakewell Wax Melts came in two, small skull shapes. Various shades of reddish pink finished off with random dots of large glitter. Fun and nicely shaped and the perfect size to pop into a wax warmer.

    Fragrance

    I opened the small packet this came in and the fragrance hit me! Definitely no mistaking what scent this was supposed to be because it smelt just like a cherry bakewell tart! Think of marzipan, super sweet icing, cherry and don’t forget pastry. A total replica scent wise in my book and a brilliant one too!

    In melt

    I used only one which slowly melted away, making the skull swim it what looked like a pool of blood. A gorgeous wax pool was created with a slight shimmer to it. The scent exactly as described as above was obvious from when it first warmed through.

    Strength & Longevity

    Strength was medium, but a punchy medium. It filled a small kitchen well and helped to lessen the usual cooking smells which impressed me. I had this melting over 2 days for a minimum of 8 hours and this lasted that time period very well. I only changed this wax melt because I wanted a different fragrance, not because the scent had died, because it was still there.

    Recommended?

    Yes! It’s an exceptionally scented wax melt duo that smelt just like it was supposed to. A must for bakery lovers and ideal for colder months if you want more cosy scents to use. This duo of wax cost only £1.60, but unfortunately isn’t a regular stock item. There are though plenty of other scents and shapes of wax melts available on The Rose and Thistle Wax Patisserie website.

  • Fragrantasia’s Violet Laundry Wax Melt Chunks Pot

    Wax melts has been one of my favourite ways to fragrance my home for a long time. will never end. They come in a variety of fragrances, looks, sizes and are affordable. Not to mention they are so easy to use. I was lucky to receive some wax melts and wax melt chunk pots from Amy of Fragrantasia. New fragrances to her wax melt business, she asked me to try these new releases out and share what I thought about them. The first one to be melted was Violet Laundry Wax Melt Chunk Pot.

    Packaging

    Violet Laundry came in a lidded, clear pot. Simple but easy to store away and keep the wax safe so very practical.

    How does it look?

    This has a base of soft pink coloured wax with bubble gum blue coloured wax chunks running through it. These chunks made a very simple looking wax look very appealing and interesting to look at on the eye.

    Fragrance

    I wasn’t too sure what Violet Laundry would or could smell like. I found this was familiar in fragrance to me and reminded me of parma violet sweets. Slightly sugary, slightly floral but very fresh and clean thanks to it having a powdery element to it. Beautiful fragrance and the type of fragrance NO ONE wouldn’t like!

    In melt

    I popped in a quarter of this wax pot into my wax warmer. While it was slowly melting it created a gorgeous wax pool, where the blue chunks and pink wax slowly merged into one. The scent smelt exactly the same warmed through as it did when solid, and it filled my small but perfectly formed kitchen from corner to corner.

    Strength & Longevity

    I would describe the strength of Violet Laundry as being medium strength. There’s no mistaking its there, its not hiding in the air its THERE. I walked into my kitchen and it smelt so good, and fought its way bravely through cooking smells but the scent itself wasn’t overwhelming. Longevity was great. It’s a steady scent that continued to throw itself out for hours and hours and just kept going.

    This wax fragrance wise was a mix of things I love to smell. I love fruity/sweetie scents and the typical fresh and clean laundry scents too. With the floral element thrown in, this made Violet Laundry Wax Melt Chunk Pot a killer combination of beautiful fragrances that all worked together perfectly. Not to mention how this wax looked made this a brilliant piece of wax to own and to melt. Absolutely recommended because it’s one of those fragrances most people will love and different to the norm wise.

  • Strawberry Melts Rhubarb Rose Dove Wax Melts

    Wax melts are an incredibly versatile form of home fragrance. They come in different sizes, shapes, fragrances and price points. There is always some form of wax that will fit everyone’s fragrance need guaranteed! In the UK we are lucky to have lots of small wax melt companies who produce beautifully scented wax pieces, including Strawberry’s Wax Creations (formally called Strawberry Wax Melts). One of my recent wax melts I’ve used from this small business is called Rhubarb Rose Dove,which cost £2.50 for a pack o 3 wax melts.

    Why did I buy this?

    I chose this because I’ve had Rhubarb Rose and Dove separately in wax melts in the past. Both smelt gorgeous and I thought the two combined scent wise should be a winner!

    How do these look?

    These melts came in a pack of three. They are a good size with one being perfect to use in a wax warmer. Each wax melt is shaped as flower. They aren’t identical in colour but similar, with different shades of pink and purple running through each.

    Fragrance

    This is a fruity, uplifting scent with a floral rose element to it. It’s also has a hint of being clean and fresh in a bar of soap kind of way (literally Dove the soap bar scent!). The floral, fruit and clean combo gives an interesting and beautiful scent which most people would adore.

    In Melt

    These took a little time to melt because they are small but quite chunky. The flower slowly drowned and turned into a very pale lilac shimmering molten pool which was very pretty.

    Strength & Longevity

    I would describe the strength of Rhubarb Rose Dove wax melt as being medium to strong. This was on melt for over 3 days and was still kicking out an obvious fragrance. By the time I changed it it was purely because I wanted to change wax not because the scent had died. So strength and longevity were excellent!

    100%! I LOVE this scent! Why? It’s a well balanced mix of rhubarb, floral rose and THAT typical clean scent from a certain bar of soap. It’s comforting, it’s pretty and it’s one of those fragrances I defy anyone not to like.

    Strawberry’s Wax Creations have lots of beautifully fragranced wax melts available on their website here. They change with every restock, so grab what you want and need when you can.

  • Rice & Shea Flower Wax Melt By Strawberry’s Wax Creations

    Can someone have too many wax melts in their collection? Yes. Does that stop them from adding to it? No. I am definitely THAT person who has an unhealthy addiction to wax melts and I’m not ashamed to admit it! One of my latest unnecessary wax melt orders has come from Strawberry’s Wax Creations (formally Strawberry Melts). I was pleased to receive Rice & Shea Flower Wax Melt as a free sample as it was totally unexpected. I decided to melt this because it’s a fragrance that intrigued me as I had no idea what it would smell like.

    How does this look?

    A small but perfectly formed gingerbread man style shaped piece of cream coloured wax. Dotted with small, scattered shards of glitter.

    Strawberry’s Wax Creations Scent Description

    An exquisite powdery feminine fragrance with top notes of ozone, ginger and aniseed, middle notes of coconut milk and rice flower, and base notes of amber sandalwood and musk.

    In melt

    This little wax didn’t take long to melt due to it’s size. All I could see was it drowning in it’s own wax juices which when melted was a simple creamy coloured wax pool. The scent didn’t hit me straight away, it crept up on me after an hour or so. It worked its way in my living room where my wax warmer was set up and on.

    Fragrance

    Rice & Shea Flower Wax Melt has a light and beautiful floral fragrance to it. It’s quite delicate and airy in scent. There’s a powdery element to it which gives it a comforting clean scent. There’s also a subtle zing to this finished off with a warming, light musk giving added depth. In all honesty, this is one of those scents that’s so hard to explain in words but it’s a very special fragrance.

    Strength & Longevity

    Strength wise this is medium. It’s not designed to be punchy, but one that fills the air naturally. I’ve melted this for at least 10 hours ( over 2 days ) and the longevity has been very good. This has shown the same strength from when it first melted on Day 1 to when my warmer was turned off end of Day 2.

    As scents go, this wouldn’t be my first choice based on it’s name alone. BUT I really love it! This is a beautiful, comforting scent. It’s gorgeous and very unusual and I need more! So totally recommended!
