Cashmere & Pearls

Notes: Sparkling citrus and rose wrapped in ribbons of vanilla

I smell the warm cashmere (a rich ambery scent with a hint of a laundry note) and maybe a hint of vanilla. It's sweet but not overly sweet, a nice subtle scent for the bedroom. When melted, there's a hint of a creamy fruity note. Looking at the scent notes, the fruit note is probably the citrus (although it's not a citrusy scent), and I don't smell rose per se although there is a little bit of a floral note.

Throw: Mild, 3 out of 5

Dragon Fruit

Notes: Sweet blend of exotic fruit scents

A very nice slightly raspberryish and very slight tropical type fruit scent with a little tartness, but also a sweet rich note with a hint of warmth from a smidgen of amber or cashmere that gives this a very slight perfumey note. It smells similar to Tuscany Candle's Berry Bliss, but with the addition of a slightly more tart, fruitier note.

Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5

Linen Breeze

Notes: Citrus, floral and smooth sandalwood

This scent has a hint of a laundry note, but it's not really a laundry scent. I can't figure out the notes. Laundry and a little bit of floral and vanilla and a hint of light wood and perhaps a smidgen of barely detectable orange. Looking at the scent notes, they're spot on, although I do smell vanilla too. It's a sweet scent, but not overly sweet, and it smells nice. Melted, though, it took on a weird chemical note, and then I realized that I've smelled this scent before but I don't remember where. I still like it though.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 to 4 out of 5

Refreshing Sage

Notes: Earthy sage with sun-ripened lemon and a touch of sweet balsam

This smells like really old perfume. I happen to kind of like that scent, although this is a little harsh. It's sweet with a little bitterness and an old soap note, and maybe a peppery and herbal note too. It doesn't actually smell like sage, which is a very savory herb without any sweetness, like oregano. Looking at the scent notes, I don't smell lemon, but I think I do smell a hint of the balsam, which does sometimes have a soapy note, although there's no pine notes in this scent at all.

Throw: Faint, 2 to 2.5 out of 5

Sea Salt Blossom

Notes: Like a fresh sea breeze, these scented wax melts will invigorate a room's ambience.

A fresh, slightly salty water scent with a peppery note and just a hint of a sweet floral. I have lots of other scents that fit this description, but this one is different and I really like it.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

Seaglass Orchid

Notes: Sea water, fresh air and citrus

I reviewed this on January 1, 2016 at http://www.scentedwaxmeltreviews.com/2016/01/crafters-co-wax-melts-from-hallmark-review.html. I could barely smell it when melted, but I decided to try it again because it smells fantastic. It's a sweet fresh watery scent with a slight floral note and maybe a hint of vanilla and amber. I think I also detect a smidgen of fruitiness, maybe apple?

Throw: Faint, 2 to 2.5 out of 5

Tranquil Waters

Notes: Refreshing ocean breeze and flowering garden

A watery floral scent with a cologne note, and a little bit of a peppery note and perhaps a smidgen of lemon. It's nice and unique, although I do have several scents that are similar.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 to 4 out of 5

---

Warm Vanilla

Notes:  The unmistakable scent of vanilla

Fantastic rich milky vanilla scent. It has a smidgen of a bakery note, so it smells a little bit like a vanilla cookie. It does have a little bit of warmth and I think that might be from a barely detectable hint of amber or cashmere which gives it a very slightly perfumey note.

Throw: Faint, 2 to 2.5 out of 5
