Wax Wednesday feat. Glitterati, Savannah Blue Wax, Villianous Wax, Sweet Sage Scents and Super Tarts Wax

Lifestyle Wednesday, January 30, 2019

Well hi there! It's been a long time since I've done a Wax Wednesday post. I've been saving these up over the last few months since my nose was out of commission for about three weeks. This is my quick moment to remind all of you healthy folks to get your flu shot! Today's post is an assortment of scents I melted right around Christmas and through the month of January. I had an opportunity to try a bunch of new to me brands thanks to some friends, and revisited some old favorites.

Glitterati Cranberry Marmalade Christmas Tree

Cranberry Marmalade Christmas Tree wax melt

Scent: Cranberry marmalade Christmas tree

Cold sniff: Tart cranberry with sweetness from the marmalade, spices and pine

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

Warmer used: AmbiEscents Snowman - 25 watt lightbulb

Amount used: .5oz

Price: Unknown
Would I repurchase: Yes

Notes: This blend was absolutely delightful. The cranberry marmalade balanced out the freshness of the Christmas tree scent perfectly.

Savannah Blue Wax - Mr. Claus' Closet

Scent: Cotton sheets, fruit loops, and a touch of pine

Cold sniff: Cotton sheets & fruit loops

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

Warmer used: Better Homes & Gardens Marina Art Glass - 25 watt light bulb

Amount used: 1/4 shot

Price: Unknown
Would I repurchase: Yes

Notes: I really don't notice the pine in this scent. This is a nice balance between something fresh and fruit loops. The cotton sheets really mellow out the fruit loops overall.

Savannah Blue Wax - Vanilla Snowflake

bath & body works vanilla snowflake wax melt dupe

Scent: Bath & Body Works dupe, creamy vanilla and winter mint with a light touch of coconut

Cold sniff: Sweet vanilla and peppermint

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

Warmer used: Better Homes & Gardens Marina Art Glass - 25 watt light bulb

Amount used: 1/4 shot

Price: Unknown
Would I repurchase: Maybe

Notes: I've never smelled the Bath & Body Works version of this scent, so I can't say if it's a spot on dupe. I will say that this is one of the more unique vanilla and mint blends I've smelled. I like a lot of mint blends so my "maybe" on the repurchase is that way just because I am working through my current stash.

Savannah Blue Wax - Dark Chocolate Pistachio Sea Salted Caramel Sugar Cookies

Dark Chocolate Pistachio Sea Salted Caramel Sugar Cookies wax melt

Scent: Dark chocolate, pistachio, sea salted caramel, sugar cookies

Cold sniff: Dark chocolate, sea salt, with a hint of caramel and pistachio

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

Warmer used: AmbiEscents White Pumpkin - 25 watt lightbulb

Amount used: 1/4 shot

Price: Unknown (was part of a sampler)
Would I repurchase: No

Notes: This was an interesting blend, and I enjoyed it while I melted it, but I couldn't see myself repurchasing it. I like that the dark chocolate in this blend was just that. It gave the blend a nice dark, bitter note.

Savannah Blue - Right as Rain

Scent: Blackberry lavender pink sugar

Cold sniff: Blackberry with pink sugar and a touch of lavender

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

Warmer used: AmbiEscents Brambles - 20 watt nightlight warmer

Amount used: Full sample

Price: Unknown, this was a sample
Would I repurchase: Maybe

Notes: This is kind of an unusual blend but I think it works quite well. I believe the lavender is more of a sweet lavender because I'm not getting any herbal notes from this one.

Villianous Wax - Hola!

tres leches mexican fried ice cream dulce de leche wax melt

Scent: Tres leches, Mexican fried ice cream, and dulce de leche drizzle

Cold sniff: Creamy with spices, and caramel

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

Warmer used: Better Homes & Gardens Marina Art Glass - 25 watt light bulb

Amount used: 1/4 shot

Price: Unknown
Would I repurchase: Yes

Notes: This smells like dessert! It made me incredibly sad that I didn't have a sweet caramel treat to go with it.

SuperTarts - Toodles

iced lemonade sweet lollipops gain wax melt

Scent: Iced lemonade, sweet lollipops and gain

Cold sniff: Sweet lemon and laundry

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

Warmer used: ScentSationals Mosaic Glass Warmer - 25 watt lightbulb

Amount used: 1 cube

Price: Unknown. This was a sample cube
Would I repurchase: Maybe

Notes: I'm not entirely sure how I would feel about this scent long term but it was a nice refreshing lemon and laundry blend without being too "clean" if you know what I mean.

Sweet Sage Scents - Half Baked

zucchini bread, lemon pound cake, coconut cream pie wax melt

Scent: Zucchini bread, lemon pound cake, coconut cream pie

Cold sniff: Sweet lemon pound cake, with coconut and zucchini bread notes

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

Warmer used: Better Homes & Gardens Marina Art Glass - 25 watt light bulb

Amount used: Full shape

Price: Unknown
Would I repurchase: Yes

Notes: I think it's worth noting that my husband took the time to comment on this scent and it wasn't even to complain about it. Normally he only speaks up when he doesn't care for something, but in this case he wanted to let me know that he really liked this scent. This will be on my "to order list" in the future.
