Weekend Wax Review: March 8-10

Hi again! Hope you had a fabulous weekend! I didn't have too terribly much in the way of melts this weekend, but here we go!
Tiffany Candles Amish Friendship Bread was an absolute winner for me. It was really spicy, lighter on the bread than most bread scents, and overall, a great scent. I would love this in a candle and/or candle blend. On cold sniff, 6.5/10. While warming, 8/10. The throw was a 6.5/10, for a total of 7/10. It lasted 6 hours and I would definitely repurchase!
Haley's Heavenly Scents probably has the best deal when it comes to wax vendors. Free shipping with a $25 purchase and 2 free packs of fluted melts...you really can't go wrong. Farmhouse Cider is from one of the sampler packs I got, and it is so, so good.It's spicy, fruity, without being too overpowering. On cold sniff, 7/10. While warming, 7/10. The throw was slightly less with a 6/10, for a total of 6.5/10. This lasted 6.5 hours and I would absolutely repurchase it.
I woke up and decided on Ocean from Closet Full of Wax. I would review this, except there was absolutely no scent throw whatsoever. I am very disappointed about this because I have been looking for a nice ocean scent for a while now. On cold sniff, 4/10. While warming, 1/10. The throw was a 1/10, for a total of 2/10. Not a repurchase, unless the formula on this gets changes. Cold sniff smelled good, but warm throw had nothing. :(
Bahama Mama from Closet Full of Wax did have a scent throw, but it was a pretty light tropical one. It basically smelled like a tropical drink! On cold sniff, 5/10. While warming, 5/10. The throw was a 4/10, for a total of 4.5/10. I won't repurchase this one, and it lasted 2 hours.
Keeping with the CFoW theme, I tried Pistachio Pudding Cake from Closet Full of Wax next...and this was SO strong! I am a bit confused...some of their scents are ridiculously strong, and others as super weak. I think they need to find a middle ground somewhere! But, anyways, this was really nice. I am loving pistachio scents right now. On cold sniff, 6.5/10. While warming, 7/10. The throw was a 7/10 as well, for a total of 7/10, slightly rounded up. I love pistachio! This lasted 4 hours and I would repurchase it.
Our nighttime melt on Saturday night was Pink Panties from Tiffany Candles. This is such a fabulous scent! It's a combination of pink sugar and...lovespell? Yes! I put it in about...8pm? And it lasted until 8am the next morning. Pretty strong throw. On cold sniff, 6.5/10. While warming, 7/10. The throw was a 7/10 as well, for a total of 7/10, slightly rounded up. I would repurchase this!
Also, I got my new warmer this week! YAY! It's got a spout (on the left) which makes for eeeeeeeeeasy pouring. I love it and I am going to buy another one. I've also gotten to melt stuff in the living room, now! :)
I wanted to melt a serendipity in my new warmer first to break it in. Well, I decided on Ultimate Serendipity from CFTKR. This was nice, but light in the living room. I moved the tray to the bedroom, where it performed a bit better, but this wasn't super strong. On cold sniff, 5/10. While warming, 6/10. The throw was a 5.5/10, for a total of 5.5/10, not my favorite serendipity, but it was a nice "background" scent. I would repurchase this, and I had it on a total of 3 hours.
In the bedroom, I had Strawberry Fluff from CFTKR going as well. Look at the detailing on the strawberry! Very realistic looking! It was a super sweet, half artificial/half real strawberry scent combined with marshmallow...very delish smelling. Love it. On cold sniff, 5.5/10, not much there except sweet marshmallow. While warming, 7.5/10. The throw was a 7/10, for a total of 6.5/10. Definite repurch, and it lasted about 6-7 hours.

That's it for the melts! It was more of a candles sort of weekend, anyways, but I have no snapped any photos of them yet. Anywho, keep stickin' around, and don't leave me...we're just packing and swatching paint and sturf. Have a good week! :)

  1. You melted some good ones! Love Ultimate Serendipity! I can't get into Pink Panties even though most people seem to live it.

    1. Ultimate Serendipity was great! I might have to melt it in a smaller room to get a better throw.

      You don't like Pink Panties?! Well, lovespell is hit or miss from certain vendors! Is that why?

  2. Lol, as for me, Pink Panties is my absolute favorite I've tried from Tiffany's. Everyone seems to love CFTKR!!! I can't wait for my teeny little order to come. Nice melts :)

  3. Pink Panties sounds great! And I love that your new warmer has a spout! That's such a smart idea! Instead of me either making a mess or waiting until the wax cools to change scents! Love that!

    1. I got it here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007HLY2H2/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

      It might be a bit more than others, but it's WORTH IT to have that little spout! Makes clean-up 10000% easier! :)
