I really wanted to like these candles and soy melts. I happen to LOVE their line of bath and body products, especially the bath bombs. When I saw they also offered soy candles and melts, I had to give them a try.
The wax melts are pretty and packaged well in little cups. They are also very easy to remove from your burner. The good news stops there.
Here's what I have tried so far:
Blackberry Blast Soy Melt: This one did have a scent throw, enough to fragrance a small powder room. It had an intense blackberry smell. It was not good enough for me to want to repurchase, though.
Flirt: scent description says amber musk with hints of vanilla. The cold throw was not appealing to my nose, nor when I melted it. I didn't detect any vanilla. Maybe it was the amber musk that was objectionable. It's scent throw was very light.
Orange Dreams: I got this in the soy melt and a candle. This is my favorite scent from their bathbombs. The melt did give a decent throw, and reminded me of a creamsicle. I did not get a good throw from an 8 oz candle, though.
Pink PussyKat soy melt: From the scent description, this is supposed to be a mix of jasmine, lilacs, citrus, and rosewood. It had very little scent throw.
Deep Blue tin: no scent throw. It has a nice cold smell, but I did not get anything when lit.
I have more candles and melts, but I have decided to let them cure for a couple of weeks. That might be why I did not have a good throw from most. I certainly hope that's the case.
Overall, I would recommend this brand for bath & body supplies. I just can't recommend them for their candles at this point.
