Bonjour Wax Co Christmas At Hogwarts

Lifestyle Thursday, February 08, 2018

I think I'm finally starting to wrap up all of my holiday themed wax reviews. I might still have one or two around the corner, but things are coming along nicely. A couple days ago I reviewed the Bonjour Wax Co. Christmas in the Car With the Belchers sampler. Today's set is also from Bonjour, but it's Harry Potter themed!

Godric's Hollow

Scent: Spiced Fruit, vanilla, musk

Cold sniff: Spiced fruit with hints of musk and vanilla.

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

Warmer used: 20 watt wide dish hotplate

Amount used: 1/2 shot (about .5oz)

Notes: I think spiced fruit may be one of my new favorite wax scents. I could melt this year round.

Ghost Carolers

Scent: Fir needles, cedar, frost

Cold sniff: Bright fir with cedar notes

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

Warmer used: AmbiEscents Snowman - 25 watt lightbulb

Amount used: 1/2 shot (about .5oz)

Notes: I'm learning that I'm really fond of fresh, clean pine scents. This was quite pleasant.

Always

Scent: Silver birch, vetiver, vanilla cream

Cold sniff: Cool birch, with slight spicy tones and a mellowing vanilla

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

Warmer used: AmbiEscents Snowman - 25 watt lightbulb

Amount used: 1/2 shot (about .5oz)

Notes: I've never smelled vetiver alone but I think that's where the spicier "men's cologne" scent is coming from. It's not terribly strong, but it adds a nice touch to this scent.

O' Enchanted Night

Scent: Sparkling fruit, rose, musk

Cold sniff: Bright fruit notes with floral coming in second and a bit of musk

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

Warmer used: AmbiEscents Snowman - 25 watt lightbulb

Amount used: 1/2 shot (about .5oz)

Notes: This isn't too heavy on the floral or musk. I think both add a really nice touch to this scent.

The Yule Ball

Scent: Fir, cranberry, roasted marshmallows

Cold sniff: Fir with light berry notes and a soft, sweet marshmallow undertone

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

Warmer used: AmbiEscents Snowman - 25 watt lightbulb

Amount used: 1/2 shot (about .5oz)

Notes: The cranberry is far more noticeable once this started melting. It's a really nice balance of smells and doesn't lean too far toward cranberry or marshmallow.

Cast A Christmas Spell

Scent: Sparkling fruit, rose, musk

Cold sniff: Bright notes of fruit, possibly a bit of rose, and a light musk

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

Warmer used: 20 watt wide dish hotplate

Amount used: 1/2 shot (about .5oz)

Notes: I really adore this scent. I think it must be the spiced fruit but I swear I could melt this year round.

Unlike the Christmas in the Car With the Belchers, the Christmas at Hogwarts sampler had great throw regardless of which warmer was used. Something worth noting, this had about a month longer cure time than the Bob's Burgers sampler only because I was sick for several weeks. I don't know if that made a huge difference or not, but the throw with these two Bonjour Wax Co. samplers was like night and day. While this sampler is no longer available, Bonjour has a ton of wonderful wax in stock. Be sure to check out the links below for info on future restocks.
