New Year for a lot of people means a massive house clean up dealing with the aftermath of Christmas. One thing that always helps during a good tidy up for me is using wax melts. Having them melt in the background adds the finishing touches once my home is in order. So I was a bit shocked to find, considering how much I love and buy wax melts, that The Body Shop makes and sells them! I only discovered this when Enchanted Forest Wax Melt was gifted to me by a friend who is one of their consultants.
Enchanted Forest Wax Melt
Enchanted Forest Wax Melt is a special edition. So this possibly is limited for sale or at least available just over this winter season. It’s a scent that The Body Shop describes as bringing ‘ The fresh forest scent indoors ‘. On the website it mentions this scent to be pine, which is what I guessed anyway purely from its name and appearance.
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 on 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 to it. It has an earthy, leafy, plant like aspect to it. But what makes this quite special is it has an uplifting sweetness to it. With that combined with the overall freshness this gives off, it makes this easy and enjoyable to smell. And it smells NOTHING like a pine scent toilet cleaner! If all Christmas inspired pine wax smelt like this I would buy it more often, it’s beautiful!
Strength & Longevity
Strength is medium. I could smell it clearly in the room it was melting and 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?
