Recent Wax Reviews


Oak & Rye Pure Maple Butter:
This tart had ridiculously strong throw that lasted all day! It made my whole house smell delectably of flapjacks smothered in butter and maple syrup. If you like strong, sweet foodie scents, you'll love this. I'm told it's available at Kroger's. Overall grade: A+. Would purchase.

Starry Skies Mojitos With Monica (mango mojito + fizzy + peach.) This blend was lovely; very fruity and refreshing! Crispness from the mint blended well with effervescent soda and shots of peach and mango syrup. Had moderate throw for about 8 hours. Overall grade: A-. Might repurchase.

Save Your Scentses Monkey Farts: this tart had very little throw in my 15 watt BHG plug in bulb warmer in my small bedroom area. It had a faint aroma of banana Laffy Taffy, but I had to stand directly above the warmer to smell anything. Disappointing performance and average artificial banana scent. Overall grade: D. Would not repurchase.

CFTKR Peppermint Noel: I love these two scents blended together! The sweetness of the VBN balances out the coolness of the peppermint nicely. The snowflake shape is very cute too. This had moderate throw for about 6-7 hours. Overall grade: B. Might purchase.

The Country Scent Shack (TCSS) Capt'n Crunch Frosted Sugar Cookie: I love this one! Very realistic cereal scent with an extra bit of vanilla from the sugar cookies. I love the color and shape as well. Had strong throw for a couple of hours and became more moderate for the rest of the day. Overall grade: A. Would purchase.

Minerva McGonagall Frog shaped tart (uncertain of the vendor): This was a very cute concept for a tart as it looked just like the chocolate frogs from the train scene in the first Harry Potter movie. Unfortunately it did not perform well. I got a vague chocolate/fruity vibe standing directly above my Glade warmer, but it didn't throw much at all. Overall grade: C-. Would not purchase.

Southbound Soap Co Sweet Pink Bake Shop: A great blend of pink sugar and warm bakery; right up my alley! This one had strong throw for the first two hours and was moderate for about 6-8 hours thereafter. Overall grade: A-. Might repurchase.

Starry Skies Claire Bear (vanilla smoothie + sugar cookies + French vanilla): A wonderfully smooth, creamy vanilla blend with just the right amount of sweetness. It's not the strongest vanilla I've ever melted, but it's a good "background" scent for ambiance. It had moderate throw for about 10 hours. Overall grade: B+. Might repurchase.

CLK Cherry Pipe Tobacco:
A very pleasant aroma overall. The cherry is pretty sweet and leans a tad artificial, but the smoke makes it mellow and slightly masculine. I like it, but I feel like it could be a tad more authentic. The star shape is super cute! Fairly strong throw for 8 hours. Overall grade: B+. Might repurchase.

Blank Label Vanilla Bean Black Cherry Pound Cake: Prominent dark & sweet black cherry notes with hints of rich, buttery vanilla bakery. A well done blend! Fairly strong to moderate throw for 8 hours. Overall grade: B+. Might repurchase.
