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.
