Weekly Wax Wrap Up: 12/18/16-12/25/16

Merry Christmas to all out there who celebrate. I'm glad it's Christmas because per usual I'm mostly over holiday scents. I've melted all I want and care to melt. After fall and holiday melting pretty much September-December, it's time for a change. This is usually the turning point where I like to start melting brighter and cleaner scents, but this past week was mostly all holiday scents. It was a good wax week too!

Mainstays Winter Mittens
Scent Description: N/A
My Thoughts: This smells a lot like a B&BW Mahogany Teakwood or Yankee Candle Midsummer's Night type scent if you're familiar with those. It's a musky, masculine, and woodsy cologne type scent which I do really like. I wish it had some mint in there to brighten it up so it seems a bit more wintery, but I can't really complain about anything else.

Butterfly Lane Spearmint Spruce
Scent Description: N/A
My Thoughts: This one was gifted to me and I can't find a scent description. I'd say the name says it all. It is a balance of spearmint and Christmas tree scent. I was worried about a scent like this because those two scent notes are typically really strong on their own and can be overpowering. This wasn't though, it was a softer scent that still had a nice throw but wasn't too much.

Ten Digit Creations Christmas Spirit 
Scent Description: cranberry, bayberry, fir needles, clove
My Thoughts: This scent has a lot of nostalgia for me. It smells like this Christmas tree that used to be at this inn we'd stay at every Christmas vacation in California when I was growing up. It's a very bright, fresh, and slightly sweet Christmas tree scent. The bayberry really comes through in this scent the most to my nose. I wish I could describe it better because it's so nice and unique to other Christmas tree-like scents.

Ten Digit Creations Baby's Butt (now Rockabye Baby)
Scent Description: baby lotion with notes of baby powder, lavender, and lilac
My Thoughts: This is one of those scents I was for sure I'd never like but decided to give it a try and I regret not trying it before. This scent is the perfect cozy and freshly clean type scent. I've been melting this in my bedroom at night and it is so soothing. I don't like the name, but it does smell like baby products hence the whole soothing thing, NOT a dirty diaper baby's butt scent 😂

Weekly Wax Wrap Up: 12/4/16-12/11/16

It's been a pretty good wax week especially considering last week wasn't so great. I'm starting to panic now because I was trying to hold off on burning too many holiday waxes so I wouldn't get burned out, but Christmas is in 2 weeks and I still have plenty I haven't reviewed! I need to get my wax booty in gear!

Scentsy World Traveler
Scent Description: Blackberry, dark pomegranate, and oak bark.
My Thoughts: I love scents like these! This is a very elegant and upscale blend of tart berries and woodsy notes. It's a very sophisticated scent. It smells like a famous old library or something. I know that's a terrible description, but that's what it makes me think of most. My only complaint is that the throw isn't very strong which is unfortunate.

Ten Digit Creations Holiday (Ralph Lauren Type)
Scent Description: blend of rich and sparkling fruit notes combine with fir, cedar, juniper and pine to create a sophisticated holiday scent
My Thoughts: I don't know the Ralph Lauren fragrance so I can't compare, but what this does remind of is Bath & Body Work's Winter. This is a citrus and smoky outdoorsy scent. It's fresh scent while still being cozy. I really enjoyed it. This also had a great throw.

Better Homes & Gardens First Winter Blizzard
Scent Description: Crushed peppermint leaf, smoked birch wood, fragrant pine and emerald holly leaf glisten with an icy, ozone freshness touched by mistletoe greens
My Thoughts: This scent is so unique and I love it! This has a fresh soapy scent to it, but with this icy and air coolness thrown in there. I'm not sure I'm detecting mint per say, but definitely something that brightens and cools this scent. It's really hard to describe because it's so unique. I don't own anything remotely close to this scent. The throw could be a smidge stronger, but I love it otherwise.

Butterfly Lane Appalachian Winter
Scent Description: Top notes of bergamot, orange, and lemon. Base notes of patchouli, vetiver, and tonka beans. This is a very unique outdoorsy scent.
My Thoughts: This was gifted to me by my friend Julie over at The Redolent Mermaid. This is another unique scent, but it has some familiarity to it as well. I'd call it a winter airy floral scent. The patchouli is strong in this which is where the familiarity comes from, but the other notes make it unique. I love the added notes of citrus and there is something else in there that brightens and freshens this scent up. Another great one!
