Home fragrance. There is nothing nicer than filling your home with beautiful fragrances, especially during the colder months of Autumn and Winter. It gives a cosy and comforting feel in rooms which is important when you spend more time inside than outside. That’s one of the reasons I love to use wax melts during these seasons. Considering I thought I was a bit of a wax melt know it all, I was a bit shocked to discover that The Body Shop actually sold wax melts! How did I find this out? Through a friend that gave me The Body Shop’s Enchanted Forest Wax Melt. So what is it like?
Enchanted Forest Wax Melt
Enchanted Forest Wax Melt is a special edition item. Possibly available just over this winter season. It’s a scent that The Body Shop describes as bringing ‘ The fresh forest scent indoors ‘.
How does it look?
Enchanted Forest Wax Melt is a green circular disc shaped wax roughly 2 inches across and 0.5 inches in depth. It’s flat underneath, but on the top there’s a very festive Christmas tree shape embossed onto it, giving it a slight 3D feel. Housed in a protective plastic little holder and then shrink wrapped. This is 15g of wax.
In Melt
I wasn’t too sure how much to use of this, but considering how many wax melts I’ve used over the years I trusted my judgement and popped in two thirds. It took a little time to melt in my kitchen but it released fragrance steadily.
Fragrance
Enchanted Forest has a scent of pine in this. Earthy, leafy, plant like. But what makes this quite special is it has an sweetness to it as well. With that combined with the overall freshness this gives off, it makes this easy and enjoyable to smell. And, just in case you were wondering, it smells NOTHING like a pine scent toilet cleaner! If all Christmas inspired pine wax smelt like this I would buy it more often, because it’s beautiful!
Strength & Longevity
Strength is medium. I could smell it clearly in the room it was melting in and it travelled into the room next to it. It also had to combat cooking smells, so it had to have some power to it. Longevity is good as well. I’ve had this on for over 12 hours over 2 days and it’s still going.
Recommended?
Yes! For this time of year and over Christmas, this is an ideal piece of wax to melt. It’s very seasonal and perfect when you want something fresh in scent. It looks great, smells great and currently on sale for £1.50 ( normal price £2.50 ). What is there not to love?
