Empire Alchemy Wax Miscellaneous Melts

Lifestyle Tuesday, April 24, 2018

It's been a hot second since I've done a full wax post, so I thought it was time I shared my most recent Empire Alchemy Wax melts. Some of these were melted quite recently (yesterday) while others were from a few months back (hence the use of a snowman warmer).

If you're new to Empire Alchemy Wax, she has a ton of unique blends and fun shaped melts. Some of my favorite blends have been more on the fresh/fruity side. She does well with all scents but I think she has some especially great fresh/laundry/spa based scents.

Lavender Toffee Shortbread

Scent: Lavender toffee shortbread

Cold sniff: Bright lavender with sweet notes of toffee and shortbread

Throw: 3 out of 5. Could smell in half of the house

Warmer used: 15 watt nightlight warmer

Amount used: Whole sample

Price: Unknown
Would I repurchase: Yes

Notes: I'm not wild about lavender but I do enjoy it from time to time. This was the perfect blend of sweet and floral.

Black Sea Vanilla Apple

Scent: Black sea vanilla apple

Cold sniff: Black sea spa scent with a hint of apple and vanilla

Throw: 5 out of 5. Could smell throughout the house

Warmer used: 20 watt wide dish hotplate

Amount used: The whole tree

Price: Unknown
Would I repurchase: Probably not

Notes: This is a nice, clean scent, but it's not something I could see myself melting more than once or twice. If you enjoy spa scents this is definitely worth checking out.

Night Spectre

candy corn ginger ale fizzy pop wax melt

Scent: Candy corn, ginger ale, fizzy pop

Cold sniff: Ginger ale and fizzy pop with a slight creamy scent

Throw: 5 out of 5. Could smell throughout the house.

Warmer used: 20 watt wide dish hotplate

Amount used: 1 cube

Price: Unknown
Would I repurchase: Maybe

Notes: I actually didn't care for this the first time I melted it, but the scent really grew on me. I am down to my last cube as of today.

Pineapple Frost Kitties

Scent: Iced pineapple, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, lemonade, and buttermint

Cold sniff: Sweet pineapple, creamy vanilla with hints of lemon

Throw: 3 out of 5. Could smell in half of the house

Warmer used: 20 watt wide dish hotplate

Amount used: About .5oz

Price: Unknown
Would I repurchase: Yes

Notes: I loved this scent but I wish it was a bit stronger.

The Huntress

Scent: Fresh pear, pomegranate, fresh spices, blood orange, pine, woods

Cold sniff: Blood orange, pear, and pomegranate with hints of pine and woods

Throw: 4 out of 5. Could smell everywhere but one room

Warmer used: 20 watt wide dish hotplate

Amount used: About .5oz

Price: Unknown
Would I repurchase: Yes

Notes: I wasn't sure about this scent based on the description because I couldn't imagine how these scents would blend. I have to say, this was quite a delightful surprise!

Melon Cream Soda

Scent: Honeydew melon, whipped cream, ginger ale

Cold sniff: Honeydew and ginger ale are the first two things I pick up. They are softened a bit by the whipped cream

Throw: 5 out of 5. Could smell throughout the house

Warmer used: AmbiEscents Snowman - 25 watt lightbulb

Amount used: 1 quarter shot

Price: Unknown
Would I repurchase: Undecided

Notes: I enjoyed this scent but I'm not sure how often I would melt it.

Matcha Salted Cream

Scent: Japanese green tea, heavy cream, cream cheese, sea salt

Cold sniff: Herbal tea and a creamy a touch of light sweetness

Throw: 3 out of 5. Could smell in half of the house

Warmer used: 20 watt wide dish hotplate

Amount used: about .5oz

Price: Unknown
Would I repurchase: Maybe

Notes: This is a fairly light scent, so the throw isn't too strong. That said, it's a nice scent and I don't mind the weaker throw.

Pink Snoball

Scent: Pink sugar, spearmint, peppermint, coconut white cake

Cold sniff: Heavy on the pink sugar + mint

Throw: 5 out of 5. Could smell throughout the house

Warmer used: 20 watt wide dish hotplate

Amount used: 1 cube

Price: Unknown
Would I repurchase: Maybe at some point. It's a good scent but I don't know how often I would melt it.

Notes: I wasn't sure about pink sugar + mint but it really started to grow on me.

Star Sprinkles

Scent: Blue raspberry slushie, satsumas, black cherry, grape kool aid, vanilla ice cream, salty sea air, lemonade

Cold sniff: Sweet berries with a light satsuma, and a creamy overtone

Throw: 3 out of 5. Could smell in half of the house

Warmer used: AmbiEscents White Pumpkin - 25 watt lightbulb

Amount used: .5oz

Price: Unknown
Would I repurchase: Yes

Notes: I didn't find the salty sea air to be very prevalent in this blend. I do like salty sea air, but I appreciate that it wasn't a top note in this scent profile. This had around five months of cure time before melting. The scent wasn't overwhelmingly strong but it may perform better in a hotplate warmer.

Ghost

Scent: Salted marshmallow

Cold sniff: Sweet, salty marshmallow and maybe a touch of caramel?

Throw: 4 out of 5. Could smell everywhere but one room

Warmer used: AmbiEscents Snowman - 25 watt lightbulb

Amount used: 1 cube

Price: Unknown
Would I repurchase: Yes

Notes: While this is a nice scent, I don't see myself melting this too often. It might be a good blender scent.

Sweet Cheeks

Scent: Fresh juicy peach, cream cheese frosting, lemon zest, funnel cake

Cold sniff: Bright peach, sweet cream cheese frosting, and a touch of lemon and funnel cake

Throw: 5 out of 5. Could smell throughout the house

Warmer used: 20 watt wide dish hotplate

Amount used: 1 cube

Price: Unknown
Would I repurchase: Yes

Notes: I'm not a huge peach person, but I really enjoyed this blend. It was just the right amount of peach to be "bright" without being overwhelming.

Neon Lights

Scent: Iced lemonade, sweet plum candy, immaculate laundry

Cold sniff: Sweet lemonade with a fresh note

Throw: 3 out of 5. Could smell in half of the house

Warmer used: AmbiEscents White Pumpkin - 25 watt lightbulb

Price: Unknown
Would I repurchase: Yes

Notes: I absolutely love this blend. I could see this being a regular melt in my house.
