Pre-Review/Post-Order:
Enchanted Scent Memories is
owned by Holly. Holly is a mom to 2 adult children and several fur babies.
Holly’s wax addiction started about 35 years ago with candles, and 25 years
ago, she discovered wax melts. The idea of making her own wax melts crossed her
mind several times, but being a single mom meant money was tight. She finally
decided to take the plunge and begin her business venture about two years ago.
Holly prides herself in purchasing unique fragrance oils for her customers so
they are not repeatedly exposed to the same scents. She even takes requests in
her Facebook group. The vendor has a scent for everyone, with over 1000 scents.
The vendor welcomes feedback to provide customers with the best possible wax
experience.

peppermint aroma with hints of vanilla bean.

popular Korean beverage; it contains aloe vera juice, aloe pulp, and a little
bit of grape essence.

· Picture of
Order/Products
· Wax
Look:
o The wax in bags melted
slightly during heated summer travel, but the wax was still usable with
distinguishable shapes when removed from the bag (essentially, there was some
wax rubbing off on the inside of the bags due to the heat during travel).
o I will never blame a vendor
for wax melting during summer. Even if they ship on a Monday to avoid the
non-movement of Sunday, you had better believe there will be a delay.
· Cold
Smell:
o Custom = Bite Me + Cream Soda
– A creamy yet fizzy scent with cherry as the predominant fruity note.
o Custom = Fresh Lemon + Fresh
Squeezed Orange + Vanilla – A sweet, creamy orange scent with slight lemon
citrus undertones.
o Purple Sandalwood – A
distinctive sandalwood scent with sweet floral undertones.
o Jack Frost – A creamy yet
strong peppermint.
o Aloe Drink – A creamy, almost
earthy type of leaf scent. It's not overwhelming for those who don’t like
earthy scents.
o Drift Away – A relaxing spa
scent with salty sea undertones.
o Pineapple Whip – A creamy
pineapple scent. It does have a bit of a crayon scent to it.

earthy.

Sum Up:
· Overall
Impression
o This vendor is what you hope
all vendors aspire to be. I knew from the first wax melt in the warmer that I would
enjoy this vendor’s wax. I immediately smelled the wax, and it wasn’t
overpowering but strong enough that its presence was known. This vendor has an amazing selection of
products and scents at a fair price. What more could a wax addict ask for?
· Pros
o Customs Available
o Reasonable Price
o Great Scent Selection
o Numerous Products and
Quantities
o Scent sticks around beyond
when the warmer is on!
· Cons
o Scent sticks around beyond
when the warmer is on (I put this as a con as well because if you want to melt
a new scent, the old one may be lingering).
· Overall
Liked Scents
o Drift

o Purple

o Custom

o Custom

· Overall
Disliked Scents
o Pineapple
Whip
o Aloe
Drink
o Jack
Frost
· If it
ends up in a destash, why?
o Pineapple
Whip – The subtle crayon scent keeps me from falling in love with this scent
and as a wax addict, I cannot keep anything I am not in love with.
o Aloe
Drink – This scent just was not strong enough for me.
o Jack
Frost – Not strong enough for me to keep.
· How
the wax could be improved? /Was it missing something?
o I know
the vendor does not recommend cure time, but I think it is essential for this
vendor’s wax.
o I
noticed some throw inconsistencies with some scents compared to others. Some
scents were super strong, while others barely had any throw. While this
inconsistency could be related to the blend itself, it could also be related to
individual fragrance oils. Individually testing some fragrance oils in lighter
scents may allow for the culprit to be determined and potentially replaced with
another fragrance supplier equivalent that is stronger.
· Was it
worth the money?
o Absolutely
· Would
I purchase from this vendor again?
o Yes
