  • 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.

  • The Perfect Summer Scent, Cosy Aromas Summer Fruits Wax Melt

    I love seasonal scents. Now it’s Autumn, I enjoy experiencing woody, bakery and warming wax melts. But despite melting according to the season, some of the time I just melt what I fancy melting! One of my more Summery wax melts I’ve been using recently is Summer Fruits from Cosy Aromas ( formally Cosy Candles ).

    Why did I buy this?

    This is my second order from Cosy Aromas this year. I ordered a selection of small wax melts in a set called Family Favourites. These were fantastic in scent, strength and longevity and they totally won me over. So I made order number two including Summer Fruits along with a few other scents, to see what the rest of their range was like.

    Packaging

    Like a lot of wax I buy this comes in a lidded tub. Most wax pots I own come in two standard sizes/weights, which is between 20g and up to 50g. This whopper weighs in at 110g! Because of it’s size and weight, this is more like a small wax pie rather than a wax pot which makes this impressive.

    How does it look?

    I expected this to be a blood red coloured wax. Summer Fruits is orange in colour, the same shade of orange the flesh of a ripe mango is. One block colour, no glitter, no embedded chunks or swirls, very simple in appearance.

    Fragrance

    I could smell a juicy, sweet collection of berries from this wax melt. But there’s also a tropical twist in this scent, almost a mix of mango and peach scent. It reminded me of a packet of chewy sweets which contained a mix of flavours. Sweet and slightly tangy and totally mouthwatering!

    In Melt

    A small piece of Summer Fruits wax melt took very little time to warm and melt through evenly. The fragrance became stronger the longer the wax warmer was on. The wax pool became a lovely, summery orange which matched its tropical inspired scent perfectly.

    Melting
    Strength & Longevity

    This wax melt was medium to strong in strength. It had been melted all day and afternoon for two days in my living room throwing out fragrance. With this melt being such a huge size you can imagine this would provide hours of fragrance. On Cosy’s website it suggests up to 100 hours of fragrance which I believe, as my slither took forever to wear out scent wise. So strength and longevity is very good even when using the smallest amount of wax.

    The quality of the fragrance, wax and size is impressive. If you love fruity scents you will love this, and if you love sweetie type scents you will love this too. It’s well balanced because it’s not too sweet but sweet enough to smell heavenly! Summer Fruits isn’t just for Summer it’s good all year round fragrance. Grab yours from their website here for £5.99 and spread the berry love!
