Best. Decision. Ever.
Not only do I love it, but guests love it, too! I get so many comments and questions about the wax that's melting, why it smells so good in there, and how it all works. Nothing like converting people!
Well, since making this change, I have accumulated quite a bit of empties. I am going to do several of these Lightning Round Review posts featuring my bathroom melts, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Here's post #20!
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 4/10
Throw Rating: 4/10
Overall Rating: 4/10; sad about this one. I have heard that Closet Full of Wax has changed their wax formula since I last ordered and wax excited to see an improvement, but this wasn't very strong. I had to be in the bathroom or close to it to smell anything. I didn't get much taffy from this, but instead a super sweet serendipity, when I did smell it. Lasted 6 hours in the bathroom but couldn't notice much.
Cold Rating: 6.5/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 5/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; slightly rounded up on this one. While the throw was right about a medium, the scent was a good combination of scents! I like Daphne's watermelon and cotton candy, and with the addition of Boo Berry (blueberry?), it just took it over the top. Obviously, this could have been stronger, but it was a nice background scent. Didn't travel that far out of the hallway, though. I left this in the warmer for about 8 hours and it declined a little bit ever 2 hours, I'd say.

Overall Rating: 7.5/10; this was my first melt from this vendor out of the Simply Sensational Sampler, and WOW! For being a pear scent, which seems basic, this was juicy, strong, and delicious. I LOVED this! I had it melting for 12 hours, but I'd say it lasted about 6 before it started to reduce in throw. Even when I dumped it, I could still smells whispers of this!

Overall Rating: 6.5/10; very good shortbread scent! Not overwhelming at all, and it did have that buttery note I usually despise, but it wasn't bad in this scent shot. Lasted 6 hours, definite repurchase. I might be making an order with this company in the near future!
Cold Rating: 5/10
Lit Rating: 3/10
Throw Rating: 6.5/10
Overall Rating: 4.5/10; rounded slightly down...this smelled okay on cold sniff, but while warming, something in the eggnog part of this was very displeasing to my nose. Now, keep in mind, this is just my nose! It smelled very strange, almost like burnt spiced. I have had other vanilla wafers scents from iheartwax, so that's how I know it's the eggnog I didn't like. It was on the high end of medium in strength, but I only had it in the warmer for an hour. Not a repuch, obviously.

Overall Rating: 7.5/10; just lovely! On cold sniff, I only got coconut leaves (which is a Bath & Body Works type), but while warming, the muskiness of the pink sugar came through and made this really lovely. Quite strong, could smell this throughout the house, but it wasn't overpowering. Repurchase! This is a great spring/summer blend!
Cold Rating: 5.5/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; there wasn't a lot of the serendipity in here, but I'm sure that's because serendipity contains coconut, and this is basically a sweeter coconut scent. I liked it, but not as much as I did pink coconut leaves. Not as strong as its counterpart, either. When I reorder, I'll opt for the other one. This was nice, though, it just lacked something to give it that UMPH!

Overall Rating: 7.5/10; lovely combination of sweet strawberry and pink sugar serendipity! This one was a winner for me and it was absolutely a winner for our guests. I had lots of compliments on this one! Great strength in throw as well as while warming, and I think I melted this one for 5-6 hours. Nice!!

Overall Rating: 7/10; HO-LY-COW. This was INSANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEly strong! Unfortunately, we didn't care for it as it was very, very perfumey. I was excited for this on cold sniff and I even hoarded it for a while, but when it was warming, we just didn't like it as much. It was truly crazy how strong this was, like, can't get it out of the curtains strong. I melted something after this and it mixed with this scent for the first hour. It's scent throws like this that I am searching for in life...if only I had enjoyed it. Not a repurchase, but if you like perfumey scents, DAMN!

Overall Rating: 4/10; sad about this one, too. Another scent I hoarded, but this time, it wasn't strong at all. You had to be right on top of it to smell anything. This was a great ocean scent on cold sniff, you even got bits of ozone and greens in there, but while warming, nada. Sadness! Not a repurchase, and I think I only had this (entire clamshell) in the warmer for 2-2.5 hours. :(

Overall Rating: 5/10; this smells really nice on cold sniff, but while warming, it sort of smelled like eucalyptus and something...off. I didn't care for it at all, and almost added pink sugar to it before I just decided to dump it. Not a fan, lasted 3 hours but would have gone on longer if I'd let it.

Overall Rating: 7/10; good balance between vanilla bean noel and sweet strawberry! UGH I hate it when I melt good items from closed vendors, it makes me so depressed, LOL. This was nice, but the cinnamon on top got burned into the bottom of my warmer and took WEEKS to get it all out. ICK! Lasted 5-6 hours and liked it a lot.

Overall Rating: 7/10; this one had a great balance of creaminess and spice! I liked it a lot and continued to be impressed with what I have melted from Aunt Nena's! This lasted less than the others from this company I have melted, about 4 hours, but I still liked it while it was going! Nice!
Enjoy your week, friends! <3
"Bathroom edition" made me laugh. Glad it's working out so well! My mom only has a bathroom melter now because her two young cats were just too interested in the other ones. Thank goodness they're smart enough to stay away from the lit candles!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I didn't even think about "bathroom edition" being anything funny, hahahah! I love it! I am glad your mom has a bathroom melter, one is better than none! It's so strange that the cars are interested in the wax, I wonder why!
DeleteLightening Round!!!! I love 'em!! Aunt Nena's huh? Writing that one down. Cinnamon stains in the warmer... Those stink. And sprinkles and sometimes CFTKR and HHS stains for me too. Strawberry pink serendipity is a blend I need to make. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI got a sampler from Aunt Nena's about a year and a half ago and disregarded it for a long time because, and I'll be blunt, the wax wasn't *that* pretty. But DAAAAAMN, do some of them throw! Strawberry serendipity goes so well together, sweet on sweet! :)
