Weekly Melts


Hi !

I've melted quite a bit this week, more than usual even though I haven't been less busy lol ! I probably have more stuff because I dumped a few scents out.


Granny's Kountry Candles - Cucumber & Melon
I melted this in a light bulb type warmer (I have no idea what wattage it is) in my living room and it was so relaxing ! What a great way to decompress after a long day. Medium scent throw, had it on and off for about 3 days.

Granny's Kountry Candles - French Lavender 
This is without any doubt my mom's favorite scent ! I'm not a big fan since it's a very herbal lavender but hey if she's happy ! Strong throw, still going strong after 4 tealights.

Streetman Candle Company - Wossamotta U 
Definitely one of my favorite scent from Streetman ! It's supposed to be a mix of wildberry mousse,caramel and cream but I don't smell any caramel per say. It's more of a very creamy and sweet wildberry mousse. Strong scent throw and lasted over 8 hours.

Streetman Candle Company - 7-Up Pound Cake 
Even though I love lemon scents, I've just discovered I really don't like 7-Up scents lol, there's something too artificial about it, I don't know how to explain it..maybe it's the fizziness . Strong throw, switched out after 2 hours.

Ten Digit Creations - Caramel Crunch Cake 
I used to be all about these kinda scents a couple months back, now I find them overpowering and sickening. Very very sweet caramel mixed with very very sweet cake lol. Medium throw, changed after 3 hours.

Crosscreek Country Candles - Eat your Heart Out
I really like this ! Extremely artificial strawberry mixed with marshmallow. Strawberry is ALWAYS a winner in my book, realistic or not. It's melting right now and throw was crazy strong at the beginning but now after 3 hours it's starting to mellow out. I've haven't had much luck with Crosscreek but I still have a few to melt so we'll see if I reorder or not.

Orchid Lake Candles - Lemon Soufflé
Awesome ! Your standard lemon bakery,not much else to say except that I wish I had a shampoo in this scent lol. Strong throw and lasted about 6 hours. After my ban I'm definitely gonna order from there again, I've had nothing but excellent throw.

Nene's Kitchen Melts - Fantasy Fluff Cake 
This is supposed to be cherry,vanilla and marshmallow with hints of strawberry. I could only smell the cherry mixed with a cakey note and it reminded far too much of Serendipity for me to enjoy it. Luckily it had only light-medium throw and lasted about 4 hours.

Better Homes & Gardens - Tranquil Garden Spa 
Soooo relaxing ! Who would've known from such a name ! This was very strong considering I only had a cube, lasted about 6 hours. I wish I could get more of this.

Sniff My Tarts - Vanilla Butter Fudge Caramel 
Such an overly sweet smell !! I really disliked it. Somehow I could smell a very predominant coffee note and I loathe coffee scent. The caramel or vanilla did not help at all. Super strong and lasted about 4 hours but I can still smell it after 3 days even though I melted other stuff in that room,ugh.

CFTKR - Pumpkin Corn Pudding
Okay, those two scents just CAN'T go well together. They're already so heavy and intense on their own, mixed it's just a nightmare. Just sniffing the bag makes me feel sick...Strong throw and I dumped it out after 1 hour.

RoseGirls - Purple Cow and Vanilla Butter Fudge 
Love love love ! It's the first time I've tried a purple cow scent because I never thought a grape scent could be appealing but boy was I wrong ! Mixed with the vanilla butter fudge it's absolute perfection. It's going to be very hard not to break my ban once they reopen. Strong throw and it's still going after 2 tealights.

Closet Full of Wax - Strawberry Shortcake 
Do I really need to say more ? Love, although it doesn't smell as good when warmed which is a shame ! Medium scent throw and lasted about 3 hours.

Closet Full of Wax - Lemon Pound Cake Zucchini Bread
My first official dud from CFoW ! This is horrible !! I can't smell any lemon at all, it's like an unsweetened pound cake mixed with zucchini bread. It seriously smells like salted popcorn, ugh. I'm gonna try to swap it or something because I sure can't melt this again. Strong throw and I dumped it out after 10 minutes. Good thing though, I think Michele is getting different Lemon Pound Cake oil. 

Closet Full of Wax - Purple Sugar
This was awesome !! Even better than Front Porch's version. A perfect mix between Pink and Blue Sugar, ah this is such a soothing scent ! Strong throw and lasted over 1 day !!

Closet Full of Wax - Birthday Cake
Great cake smell ! You could smell the cake part just as much as the frosting. Really enjoyed it. Strong throw and lasted about 4 hours.


Is there a scent you can't stand at all?

Weekly Empties

Hi !

I decided to do ''empties'' posts as opposed to ''melted'' because this post would be 3 meters long !

I'm officially on a wax ban, I started on April 1st and everything is going well so far ! I still have 5 orders and a Round Robin coming in so if you see hauls, it doesn't mean I have failed lol :) 

Onto what I melted this week !

Melted in a 24w hot plate warmer unless otherwise stated.


Lasting Scent Candles - Chocolate Chip Cookies
Lasting Scent Candles is a company I can't order from Canada, actually I could but she only ships Priority Mail,which means 53$+ for 25-50 tarts.It's just not worth it.The only LSC I had the chance to try was from swaps..and I'm pretty sure they weren't the best ones lol.
This one is simply horrible,it literally smells like chocolate Playdoh,ugh. It was very strong too but I couldn't stand it so I poured it out after 20 minutes. I have some other Chocolate scents in my stash I haven't tried yet, I'm hoping they don't all smell like this one.

Streetman Candle Company - Think Pink,Sugar
This is just Pink Sugar but I love that scent whether it's blended or not ! Not too much to say about it, it was pretty strong as are all Streetman tarts and lasted about 6 hours.

Front Porch - Strawberry Marshmallow Bread
People are raving about this scent on the group page,this is one of their best-sellers and it was pretty hard to get it because everytime it's added to the site its gone within minutes! I ordered a sampler and this was part of it, so I was pretty excited. It's definitely  not what I expected, the strawberry scent is barely there and it's not a good one.The mix with Zucchini Bread is really weird too.Throw was only medium and it lasted about 3 hours.

Country Home Scent - Pennies From Heaven
Spa like scent, I love those. I can't really pick out any notes but this was very relaxing and soothing. Medium throw and lasted about 4 hours.

Country Home Scent - Pumpkin Crunch Cake 
I still have 4 of these left and I don't want them to loose their scent so I went ahead and melted one even though it doesn't suit the weather at all !! At least it's not a spicy pumpkin,I can smell caramel and some cake notes in it. Light-medium throw and lasted 4 hours.

Country Home Scent - Snuggle Baby 
I can't remember what was in this one. I'm thinking Pink Sugar and Baby Powder..but it doesn't smell like Baby Powder so I have no idea lol ! Anyways, this was very good, another relaxing scent. Medium throw and lasted 6 hours.

Country Home Scent - Purple Passion
Such a great scent ,very summery ! I could smell strawberries and mango mixed with something else. Medium throw and lasted about 3 hours

RoseGirls - Cranberry Marmalade Mallow
Oooh this was so so good ! I've had this for a while but never felt like melting it because Cranberry to me is more of a holiday scent. But this one  I would melt year around ! A sweet cranberry mixed with awesome marshmallow. Strong throw and lasted over 6 hours

Granny's Kountry Candles - Cowgirl Up!
For some reason I got a powdery note from this even though it's only supposed to have berries in it. I melted it in a tealight warmer and scent throw was medium and lasted 4 hours.

Closet Full of Wax - Lavender Serendipity 
Ugh, I should've saved this for someone who would've enjoyed it ! I just can't stand Serendipity AT ALL. It makes me sick... I could barely smell any Lavender in this. Melted it in a tealight warmer and throw was crazy strong..but I poured it out after 30 minutes.

Ten Digits Creations -  Forbidden Elixir 
Very very earthy scent. I did not enjoy this at all, all I can smell is patchouli mixed with some flowers. Melted in a tealight warmer, light scent throw and lasted about 4 hours.



What's your favorite scent from my empties ?
