Talk That Candle Talk

 Limited Edition 2022  $1 black friday 2022 sale Its like cider with other fruits. I feel like it's a neutral enough smell you can use it all year round. This was very average for me. I liked it enough, I finished it. I am glad I only paid a dollar. Medium strength scent throughout burning.  3.5 out of 5 candlelights

 Honeysuckle Pineapple  This should be called honeysuckle sunlight because pineapple can not be smelt at all. I enjoyed this though, it unlocked a core childhood memory. Very fresh scent notes, a medium throw. An easy pick for springtime vibes. Nothing tropical at all. 3 out of 5 candlelights 

 Jelly Bean Wax Melts $2.99 Hobby Lobby                                                    I was gifted this wax (and a few others) over the holiday season. The scent was much more pleasant before putting it in the warmer. The smell is way too strong and artificial. It is hard to notice the different scent notes. It's vaguely fruit-like. My boyfriend turned it off after a half hour. The most overwhelming melt. It gives unknown vague fruity detergent. Not a fan but there is a market for this level of intensity but it's too much for my household.                                                                       2.5 stars out of 5

  $1.10 @ Walmart If you like lemon, you'll like this. Not as much sugar as you might expect. For the price, this is a pleasant scent and a little cheaper than the Scentsationals version. Mainstay melts are small so if you really like the smell, the candle could be a better choice. 3.5 out of 5 candlelights 

 An entry to more "boy smells" If you want to dip your toe into " man smells/man scents/boyfriend candle vibes" may I recommend this cheaper option? Heavy on the amber, vanilla bean, and mahogany notes. It's not quite fully "masculine" but heavier notes than I typically go for. I prefer WoodWicks humidor but I wouldn't be mad if someone picked this up again. A good unisex or gender-neutral option. Or if you just think these notes might be something you're into.  3.5 out of 5 candelights

 A must have  One of my favorite melts I bought in 2022. Every note was well-represented and diverse. It is so warm and sweet. It almost smells like real pear and vanilla baking somewhere. I would buy this all year round. Pear scents are woefully under used in the home fragrance world.  4.5 out of 5 candlelights 

  WoodWick Humidor Wax Melt Review Price Unknown Walmart Scent Notes- tobacco leaves, amber, leather, musk My boyfriend bought this set and on cold smell, it was very interesting and different. A fantastic unisex scent or more masculine. It smells like an expensive cigar boutique with some vanilla/amber notes that kept me interested. I would absolutely buy this again. It turns your home into a very warm and masculine scent profile. If you like "man scents" this could be a great pick up 4.5 out of 5 candlelights 

BHG Orange and  Cinnamon Rolls Review $2.00 on sale at Walmart   A holiday morning smell in wax melts. This is what you imagine every happy holiday household to smell like in the morning. It’s very sweet and warm but the orange compliments the warm notes very well. This is the second time I’ve bought these and I will keep buying them if there isn’t something new to try. I would love for this brand to do more with their pancake batter notes.   5 out of 5 candlelights 

 Mainstays Salted Caramel Butterscotch $1.10 Walmart   To me, this smelt like blondies with extra butterscotch. My boyfriend thought it was pancakes with syrup. Either way, this was a powerful and sweet smell that I enjoyed greatly. It fills the room with the smell of sweet pastries baking in the oven. If you leave the room and come back, it will still have the scent lingering even when not being melted. One of Mainstay's more substantial releases lately.   4.5 out of 5 candlelights 

Better Homes and Gardens Orange Buttercream & Cupcake $2.00 on sale at Walmart Scent Notes- orange zest, vanilla, buttercream   Heavy on the buttercream! Very similar to marshmallow crispies melt. Extremely strong throw, you can use this in any room and you will notice it. Even if you let it cool and leave the house, you will come back and smell this melt. I really wish this had more citrus to balance the buttercream and vanilla. I have heard that some customers found it to give them a headache. I didn’t have these issues but I prefer the other melt previously mentioned.   4 out of 5 candlelights 

Mainstays Caribbean Orange Wax Melt Review $1.10 Scent Notes: Orange, Mango, Musk Heavy brunch vibes with this set. Particularly a beach brunch with blood-orange drinks. Medium throw, I enjoyed it while I had It but I also haven’t thought about it since. There are just so many melts to try out there. A cheap low-risk melt. Orange and musk are the more intense notes here   3.5 out of 5 candlelights 

 Sonoma Home Holiday Cookie Wax Melts $1.74 Sweet Vanilla, Cookie Dough, Buttercream   If Pillsbury decided to sell home fragrances based on their desserts, this wax melt would perfectly represent their brand. It really smelled like those sugar cookies with the seasonal prints. I really enjoyed this melt. A strong throw really fills the room. I would purchase again and try more scents from this brand.   4.5 out of 5 candlelights 

Huntington Home White Almond Wax Melts Price unknown at Aldi   If you love almond extract, this is the product for you. That is the only note I could smell strongly. I don’t mind almond extract so this was a nice change-up in my home fragrance routine. If it gets re-released again I’d think about buying it. Aldis melts are usually under $2.  3.5 out of 5 candle lights

TTCT Reviews: Better Homes and Gardens Over The Rainbow Wax Melts $2.00 on sale at Walmart   A lighter throw than I would have preferred. This one shined in the bathroom the most. It smells like diet Koolaid , tropical punch flavor. I wouldn’t buy these again, too many scents to try from this brand. Not an awful scent by any means I just love a strong throw. I’m one of those people who really benefit from scents that I enjoy.   3 out of 5 candlelights 

  Better Homes and Gardens Lavender Lemonade Wax Melt  Price ~$2.00 at Walmart Scent Notes- Lemon Sugar, Pineapple Water, Lavender Melon and Vanilla Scent This smells like a summer drink you would get served at a luxury beachfront spa. The lemon note is subtle, not sour. It does smell like the name says it does. Didn’t notice too much pineapple but I guess that’s why they said “pineapple water” A sweeter lavender scent but is not intense. I would think about getting this one again.   3.9 out of 5 candle lights

 ScentScensational Marshmallow Krispies Wax Melt Review $2.20 One of my favorites. Smells exactly like fruity pebbles. It’s very sweet and strong but it won't give you a headache. Fills the whole room very well. If you enjoy food/sweet smells, pick this up. I will definitely buy this again at some point. Shop 5 out of 5 candlelights

TTCT Reviews: ScentScenationals Strawberries and Cream Wax Melts $2.20 at Walmart Just like the name. This smells amazing. An excellent dupe for Bath and Body Works Strawberry Poundcake. Just make bigger melts I will buy them, No issues with burning. A strong throw. I’d buy this again at some point, there are just so many waxes melts to try. Such a great deal. If you love sweet gourmand scents, try it out.  Rating 4.5 out of 5

 TTCT Reviews: Mainstays Amaretto and Blood Orange Wax Cubes Walmart for $0.99 I really enjoyed this. Blood orange is great and underutilized. So is amaretto. It is sweet but not sickly sweet like some vanilla can be. Since they are a dollar, they are smaller than the ScentSationals packs but it’s a strong smell. I love a strong scent so these worked well for me. It filled the living room and almost to the front door. Rating: 4 out of 5 candlelight’s
