Fall Fun Series: Fall Melting Stash

It's time for another post for the Fun Fall Series. Today's post is on our fall melting stash. Well, my fall drawer of wax is at capacity. I have a lot, and I'm sure I might acquire some more as time wears on, but I'd like to try to behave myself!

As you know I do Weekly Wax Wrap Up posts on Sundays and these fall posts will also feature wax. I will be just showing you wax I'm melting with maybe some very brief thoughts/descriptions in these fall series posts, but if you want full wax reviews they will be posted on my Sunday Weekly Wax Wrap Up posts.

Let me show you what I have in my fall melting stash. I'll break these down into smaller parts so you can see everything further down in the post!

Weekly Wax Wrap Up: 7/31/16-8/7/16

Weekly Wax Wrap Up is back! I think anyone who is into home fragrance knows we're heading into the most wonderful time of the year for wax. The fall and holiday season hardly ever disappoint when it comes to home fragrance. I've started to dabble into my fall wax stash, but I am looking to find more. I'm hoping my Walmart soon will have the new Better Homes and ScentSationals wax scents!

ScentSationals Rain
Scent Description: N/A
My Thoughts: This is one of the most unusual scents I have come across. This smells exactly like hot asphalt after it rains. EXACTLY. I don't know how they bottled that smell into this, but they did! There isn't much else to add to that. It's not a pure rain smell, it's a hot cement rain smell. I liked it a lot. I will say, it's not a scent I want to smell all the time. It's kind of a scent I prefer whiffs of here and there, but this scores high anyways. 
Throw: 4/5
Where To Buy: ScentSationals

Ten Digit Creations Flannel Pajamas
Scent Description: your favorite soft comfy flannel pj's fresh from the dryer
My Thoughts: This is fresh laundry right out of the dryer scent. This scent is fresh, clean, and cozy. I have had this scent for awhile and was afraid to melt it because smelled so strong on cold sniff. I'm happy to say this disperses nicely in the air and I did not find it overpowering when melted. 
Throw: 3/5
Where To Buy: Ten Digit Creations

DD Woodland Walk
Scent Description: pine needles, cedarwood, & eucalyptus 
My Thoughts: I'm pretty iffy about woodsy scents because many of them go a bit sweet and powdery for me. This one doesn't do that which I appreciate! It's very bright, crisp, and fresh which I think is due to the eucalyptus in this scent. I'd say this scent makes me think of a wintery forest. It's more of a Christmas scent to me than fall, but I still love it. 
Throw: 4/5
Where To Buy: Hobby Lobby

Ten Digit Creations White Pumpkin & Lilac
Scent Description: hints of lilac petals and autumn lily flowers are followed by a blissful combination of pumpkin seeds, spicy coriander, fragrant cinnamon sugar and luscious cashmere vanilla
My Thoughts: I was so intrigued by this scent name I had to buy it. This is really a wonderful blend of notes. The pumpkin scent in this is delicate and soft and paired with an even softer floral note. I really think this is a wonderful pumpkin scent for people who like pumpkin don't want pumpkin screaming in your face like many pumpkin scents do. My only issue with it is I wish it had a stronger throw.
Throw: 2/5

Happy Sunday!

Weekly Wax Wrap Up: 1/24/16-1/31/16

It's been a fairly good week of melting. I only had one I didn't like in the bunch. I am running into a bit of problem! I'm running out of new wax to melt. I've melted through all most all my new wax and only have waxes I've reviewed. I'm hoping my Walmart gets in the new ScentSationals spring line up soon!
DD Beach Getaway
Scent Description: ocean air with a hint of vacation
My Thoughts: I'm not sure what a "hint of vacation" smells like exactly, but I'm on board with this one. This smells similar to me to Yankee Candle's Sun & Sand. It has a strong salty ocean water note blended with that sandy beachy note. I like it. This is definitely one of those scents that I think is universally pleasing. You can't go wrong. It's fresh and beachy. It's not a stunner or a one-of-kind type scent, but definitely good solid scent. This has a good throw and lasted several hours when melted. 
Where To Buy: Hobby Lobby store

Ten Digit Creations Olive Blossom
Scent Description: fresh and clean aroma composed of fresh olive leaves, green ivy, crisp orange, with subtle notes of sandalwood and musk
My Thoughts: If you like rich and complex perfume-like scents, Olive Blossom is for you. I like those types of scents so I love this one. It's so hard to describe because I don't pick up on individual notes in this, it's just an overall elegant and rich floral perfume-like scent. This one is strong and had a great throw. 
Where To Buy: Ten Digit Creations 

Ten Digit Creations Fifty Shades of Blue
Scent Description: the warmth of the Mediterranean brought to you by notes of bergamot, mandarin, lemon, and orange
My Thoughts: This is supposed to be a dupe to Lush's Olive Branch, which I've never smelled so I can't compare. What I will say is this one gets raved about a lot, but I really hated it. I don't get any bergamot, mandarin, lemon, or orange from this. This to me smells like powdery overly frilly grandma perfume mixed with cotton candy. It's sickly sweet, powdery, and just yuck. It's also strong, which didn't help matters for me. This scent is popular, so maybe it's just my nose? Do.not.like.
Where To Buy: Ten Digit Creations

ScentSationals Garden Cantaloupe 
Scent Description: Cantaloupe straight from the garden bursts with the fragrance of sweet, sugary melons freshly cut and ready to eat.
My Thoughts: This is straight up pure cantaloupe. I love melon scents. They're the perfect blend of fresh, sweet, and watery notes. This is perfect. It doesn't smell artificial nor is it overly sweet. It's refreshing and makes me want to eat some cantaloupe! This is a winner! This has a great throw. 
Where To Buy: ScentSationals

See ya next week!
