Pre-Review/Post Order:

            I love the personal touch this vendor added by answering interview questions by hand. Haley’s Heavenly Scents has been in business since 2008. The business name comes from the vendor’s granddaughter who passed away at 8 weeks old from SIDS. 10% of all profits go to SIDS & Childhood Cancer. The vendor strives to provide great customer service and always involves customers in business decisions. The vendor has won two awards from the Facebook Group “What Smells So Good” including Best Pricing and Selection and the other was for The Most Pink Sugar Blends. The vendor carries over 1,300 different scents and blends.

Extra Love!

  • Wax Look:
    • A couple of the scent shot cups were cracked, but it was easily rebagged.
    • Colorful and pretty.
  • Cold Smell:
    • Girl’s Night Out
-         A fun fruity scent. This scent is very similar to the commonly known Blonde Moment scent. I think it kind of smells like sweet tarts with a bit of underlying fizziness.

    • Whipped Funnel Cake
-         A creamy cinnamon sugar bakery scent.

    • Oatmeal Raisin Cookie
-         A very light sweet bakery scent.

    • Mountain Dew
-         A light lemon lime scent with a subtle fizziness to it.

    • Liquid Crack
-         The different notes in this scent come across as both fruity and floral but blend together very well.

    • Hot Mama
-         A sweet fruity scent with subtle tart undertones that blend together to create a subtle perfume edge to the scent.

    • Hawaiian Splash
-         A wonderfully sweet fruit punch scent!

    • Grandmas Creamy Zucchini Bread 
-         A delicious bakery scent that smells like baked bread with the perfect amount of sweetness. I am fairly sure this wax wouldn’t taste as good as it smells, but the smell definitely makes your brain think it might.

    • Chicks Dig It
-         A light fun fruity scent with very subtle perfume like undertones.

    • Cookies and Cream
-         A sweet and creamy cookie scent.

    • Pistachio Fluff Pizzelle
-         A light sweet pistachio pudding scent with bakery undertones.

    • Pumpkin Stuffed French Toast
-         A delicious cinnamon sugar pumpkin scent.

    • Peanut Butter Cup
-         A light scent that somewhat resembles peanut butter. No chocolate scent really detectable.

    • Lemon Pizzelle
-         A wonderful creamy lemon bakery scent!


Wax Melting Review: 

  • Detailed Description of Each Smell
    • Girl’s Night Out
-         A fun fruity scent with some subtle effervescence. This scent is similar, if not identical, to the popular Blonde Moment scent.

    • Whipped Funnel Cake
-         A light and fluffy cinnamon sugar scent with subtle bakery notes.

    • Oatmeal Raisin Cookie
-         A light sweet bakery scent.

    • Mountain Dew
-         A sour effervescent lemon lime scent.

    • Liquid Crack
-         A fruity scent with floral undertones. The scent comes together nicely.

    • Hot Mama
-         A fruity scent with subtle undertones that blend together to create a somewhat perfume like scent. As far as perfume like scents go, it is a pleasant scent.

    • Hawaiian Splash
-         A strong sweet fruit punch smell that resembles Hawaiian Punch.

    • Grandmas Creamy Zucchini Bread 
-         A dreamy bakery scent that is the picture of perfection. I can totally see why this scent is a big hit with this vendor’s customers. It is a delicious creamy bakery scent that realistically resembles subtly sweet bread baking in the oven.

    • Chicks Dig It
-         A fun flirty fruity scent with floral/perfume undertones. Overall a very pleasant scent.

    • Cookies and Cream
-         A sweet and creamy bakery cookie scent.

    • Pistachio Fluff Pizzelle
-         A light sweet pistachio pudding scent with subtle bakery undertones. For anyone who doesn’t know, pistachio scents generally have a sweet cherry almond like quality. This particular version isn’t as bold with the cherry almond though.

    • Pumpkin Stuffed French Toast
-         The perfect blend of light cinnamon sugar and pumpkin with subtle bakery notes that pull this French toast scent together! Overall, a very delicious scent.

    • Peanut Butter Cup
-         An unimpressive peanut butter scent. It lacks sweetness and chocolate.

    • Lemon Pizzelle
-         A delicious creamy lemon bakery scent!

Sum Up:
  • Overall Impression
    • This vendor is very personable. The wax is of a good quality. I can definitely see what the hype is all about when I hear people raving about Haley’s Heavenly Scents!

  • Pros
    • Great Scent Selection!
    • Variety in Product Options!
    • Quality Wax!
    • Great Customer Service!
    • No Scent Nose! I can stay in the same room with these scents the entire time they are melting…and my nose doesn’t get used to it and essentially make the scent unnoticeable.
    • Fairly Consistently Strong Scent Throw!

  • Cons
    • Hard Wax!
    • Wax throw does not last an incredibly long amount of time in stronger warmers (It was a typical time length for paraffin wax, but in comparison to other types of wax it was not an incredibly long time. It also depended on the scent. Whipped Funnel Cake seemed to last an unusually long time for paraffin wax, approximately 6 hours in a 24 watt warmer. The other scents averaged from 3-4 hours.)

  • Overall Liked Scents
    • Girl’s Night Out
    • Chicks Dig It
    • Hawaiian Splash
    • Grandmas Creamy Zucchini Bread 
    • Whipped Funnel Cake
    • Lemon Pizzelle
    • Cookies and Cream
    • Pumpkin Stuffed French Toast
    • Liquid Crack
    • Pistachio Fluff Pizzelle

  • Overall Disliked Scents
    • Mountain Dew
-         Not really digging the sourness of the scent.

    • Hot Mama
-         Not a bad scent, just a bit to perfume like for me. My mother liked the scent though.

    • Oatmeal Raisin Cookie
-         Just not strong enough.

    • Peanut Butter Cup
-         As far as peanut butter scents go, it wasn’t bad. I didn’t detect any chocolate though. It could have used a bit more sweetness to the scent.

  • If it ends up in a destash, why?
    • N/A All wax was used during the review!

  • How the wax could be improved?/Was it missing something?
    • Unfortunately, the cons I listed are somewhat typical characteristics of paraffin wax. There is really nothing that can be done to change that. Overall, the wax was a very good quality paraffin wax.

    • Pistachio Fluff Pizzelle
-         I don’t feel as if the fluff within the scent really added anything to the scent. Just my personal opinion.

    • Peanut Butter Cup
-         It is lacking sweetness and chocolate!

  • Was it worth the money?
    • Yes!

  •  Would I purchase from this vendor again?
    • Yes!
