Here's what I melted this past week!

American Home Moonlit Night
Scent Description: There's a peaceful stillness to this fragrance that comes from a mix of cedar, oakmoss, clove and more. It's calm and quiet, crisp but relaxing.
My Thoughts: This is one of those clean and masculine scents. I feel pretty confident saying as American Home is made my Yankee Candle this is the same scent as Midsummer's Night. It's cologne like, but it's not overly heavy. It's crisp and clean. I love this scent and scents like this one.
Scent Throw: 3.5/5

Ten Digit Creations Deep In The Congo
Scent Description: welcome to the jungle + hundred acre woods + orchid rain
My Thoughts: This a very unique earthy, hippie, and green blend. I'm not a big fan of earthy/hippie scents, but the green notes in it help to balance it out. This scent does have some grit and dirtiness to it not in a gross way, but in that woodsy/earthy scent way. It's difficult to describe, but it's definitely unique to me. I like this scent. It's not a favorite, but it's one I will melt again.

I think I'm going to settle on doing less wax each rather than posting every other week. When I'm melting too much new wax I'm  running out of new things to review too quickly and I'm not really using up wax I already have. I hope you all are not too disappointed with less wax to review each week!

Ten Digit Creations Ocean Mist
Scent Description: blue ocean water and sea spray
My Thoughts: This is a wonderful scent. This smells like a blend of ocean, fresh air, soft florals, and some fresh laundry notes. To put it simply it's like ocean laundry! It's a very fresh, crisp, and happy scent. This is the perfect clean type scent that I think would please many noses and scent preferences without it being boring or common. I love it!

American Home Above The Clouds
Scent Description: N/A
My Thoughts: This is a nice scent. It doesn't have any scent description which makes it hard for me to pinpoint anything specific. It reminds me of a very general hand soap like Softsoap. It's clean and fresh, but it's also very generic unlike the TDC scent above. The throw was also virtually non-existent.
Throw: 1.5/5

Sorry, I missed you all last week. I had a busy week and did not get around to melting much new stuff. I want to forewarn you all that in the future I will probably either be doing these posts every other week or reviewing less wax every week. I don't want to review too much new stuff each week because then I'll be left with nothing new to review! The past 2 weeks I did have some really nice wax melts. I'm definitely in a tropical/beachy/ocean scent mood lately as you'll see with my selections! 

Ten Digit Creations Pineapple Sage & Citrus

Scent Description: fresh pineapple slices and clary sage topped with lemon and orange wedges

My Thoughts: This scent is heavy on the pineapple with sage being the secondary note. I'd say this is 70% pineapple and 30% sage. I'm really not getting citrus from this because the pineapple and sage are so strong. I like this scent. It's bright, juicy, and the sage gives it a nice earthy edge. I will say this is a scent I can only melt for a few hours because it does start to becoming overpowering after awhile.

Throw: 4.5/5

American Home Catch A Wave

Scent Description: An inviting scent of salt air that will make you want to wiggle your toes in the sand.

My Thoughts: This smells exactly like Coppertone Oil paired with a salty floral ocean water scent. I'm not usually a fan of  Coppertone-type scents because they can go really artificial. This does not. It's the real deal and that ocean water scent balances it out perfectly. It's probably one of the most natural beachy scents I've come across. The downside is the throw isn't that strong. I melted it twice just to be sure. If this were stronger it would an absolute winner.

Throw: 2.5/5

Ten Digit Creations Garden of Eden

Scent Description: red mac apple + green apple + garden dirt

My Thoughts: This is a winning scent. I don't have the most luck with apple scents. They're either too artificial smelling or they go into that fall apple/cinnamon type territory I don't care for. This apple scent is very natural. The red apple and green apple blend are perfect because you get the balance of sweet and tart. The garden dirt note is subtle, but it gives the scent a freshness that makes it more of a clean scent than a straight up fruity one. 

Throw: 3/5

Ten Digit Creations Bora Bora

Scent Description: sweet pineapple, acai berry, mango, passion fruit, yuzu, green apple

My Thoughts: This is a straight up bright and fresh tropical fruit scent. The strongest note I'm getting in this scent is pineapple, follow by mango, yuzu, and green apple. It smells like a tropical fruit salad. There is a nice balance of sweetness and tart in this scent which I appreciate. I really like this one!

I've had a couple of good wax weeks lately. The streak has been broken! It was almost a complete dud week. There were some redeeming factors with some waxes, but there was one this week that is probably the worst wax I've ever smelled!

Yankee Candle Autumn Gathering
Scent Description: A warm mix of fading sun and crisp days with harvest fruit, patchouli and sandalwood.
My Thoughts: I was drawn to this scent because it was an outdoorsy one. I'm having a hard time finding outdoorsy fall scents this year. They're all pumpkin, apple, and bakery. I like this scent it's fresh, airy, sweet, and woodsy. What I don't like about it is it just doesn't throw well. It's very lightly scented when melted.
Scent Throw: 2/5
Where To Buy: Yankee Candle

Better Homes & Gardens Perfect Pumpkin Ale
Scent Description: N/A
My Thoughts: This is absolutely vile. I know what they're going for here some pumpkin cider type smell. It doesn't work. This smells very acidic and sharp. I'm not exaggerating when I say this but it smells like stomach acid. You know if you have acid reflux or after you throw up? That's what Perfect Pumpkin Ale smells like! It is the worst smelling wax I've ever tried. I couldn't even let it melt down all the way I had to throw it out within in 10 minutes on the warmer. 
Scent Throw: 4/5
Where To Buy: Don't, but if you dare Walmart

ScentSationals Cider House Donuts
Scent Description: N/A
My Thoughts: You all know I'm not a bakery person, but there has been quite the buzz about this scent so I had to try it out. This is a bakery scent I can make an exception for. This one is very good. I've never tried a cider donut or seen one, so I can't really comment on the "cider" aspect of this scent. This does smell just like churros to me or those cinnamon/sugar hot nuts they sell during the holidays at malls and fairs. It's very yummy and it's not overly sweet to me. I melted this a good 4-5 hours before I felt like I had enough of it which is a record for me with bakery scents.
Scent Throw: 4.5/5
Where To Buy: Walmart

American Home by Yankee Candle Fall Morning
Scent Description: Enjoy a cool, crisp walk beneath the turning leaves…a scent of earthy cedar wood brightened with autumn blossoms.
My Thoughts: This one is very hard to describe. It's an airy, slightly woodsy, and very floral scent. It doesn't smell like any traditional autumn outdoorsy scent I'm used to. I really like this scent though. It's more of a perfume-like scent to me than anything I'd classify as outdoorsy. I just wish this had a stronger throw.
Scent Throw: 2.5/5
