Liza Jane Candle Company Wax Melts Reviews

Liza Jane Candle Company is a new candle and wax melt business in Waxahachie, Texas. Unlike most small wax vendors, Liza uses paraffin in her products instead of soy. I find that paraffin throws better than soy ("throw" is how far you can smell the scent in the room while it's melting).
The paraffin she uses is a special grade that intensifies the throw. When I did my first review in July (
https://www.scentedwaxmeltreviews.com/2018/07/liza-jane-candle-company-wax-melts-reviews.html), the wax was a bit soft and greasy like soy, and slightly sticky so that I had to use a butter knife to get a cube out of the clamshell, but that was not a problem at all. Then she switched to a harder formula to make it easier to remove from the package, but the new formula impaired the throw. So finally she adjusted the formula again and throw is as good as before.
I like most of Liza Candle Company's scents, and unlike most wax vendors, just about all of the wax melts had excellent throw! I even like her labels, which are classy and professional. Liza was wonderful to work with, professional, and an all-around nice person who provided exceptional customer service. And if all of that weren't enough, 2% of all sales goes to Parkinson's Disease Research for a cure!

Angel Wings
Notes: A powdery bouquet of rose, jasmine and Hawthorne, enhanced by french vanilla, musk and sandalwood.
I love this scent! It smells like baby powder mixed with musk, a hint of jasmine, and maybe a hint of incense. Looking at the scent notes, I don't smell rose or sandalwood, but maybe a smidgen of the vanilla, and I don't know what Hawthorne smells like.
Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5
Apple Harvest
Notes: Ripe apple, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, cedar wood and orange
A nice fall scent of crisp apples combined with apple cider and a smidgen of a brown leaves note. Looking at the scent notes, I smell just a hint of cinnamon and perhaps a smidgen of clove, but no nutmeg, and definitely no orange. It's more mild, slightly sweeter, and less authentic than other apple cider type scents I've smelled, but I like it.
Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5
Birthday Cake
Notes: Smells just like birthday cake with buttercream frosting
I love this scent! It really does smell like yellow cake (like the rich yellow cake mix from a box, but in a good way), with notes of marshmallow and vanilla buttercream, and even a smidgen of coconut that makes it smell a little like angel food cake. Yummy! Melted, it's a rich marshmallowy vanilla buttercream scent with a little bit of a cakey note.
Throw: Medium, 3 out of 5
Butt Naked
Notes: Melons, strawberries, pears and green apples
This smells like sweet candied watermelon mixed with cherries, strawberry and vanilla, with a little bit of a tropical fruit note. I love it! Looking at the scent notes, I don't think I smell apple or pear.
Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5
Cinnamon Stick
Notes: True spicy cinnamon with just a touch of clove
It's straight cinnamon but with a little bit of a candy note and a hint of cloves for warmth
Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5
Clean Towels
Notes: A house blend of a clean, fresh laundry (Downy April Fresh type and Beach Linen)
Fantastic scent that smells like jasmine, musk, orange blossom/neroli, and a hint of a laundry note. It smells a little bit like Cotton Blossom, but Cotton Blossom is mostly laundry with a note of musk. It's like a combination of Coppertone suntan oil and fabric softener.
Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5 (old was Faint, 2.5 out of 5)
Cowboy Leather
Notes: Smells like the inside of a saddle shop
Yep, it's leather, and it smells great! Also makes a great mixer... smells fantastic when mixed with pine, woodsy, patchouli or cologne scents.
Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5, a scent monster that took over the entire house!
Fallen Leaves
Notes: Top notes of cinnamon, citrus and chrysanthemum. The earthiness is enhanced by cinnamon leaf, patchouli, cedar wood, vetiver and sandalwood essential oils.
This is a typical old apple/sour brown leaves fall scent that a lot of companies carry, but with a twist. There's another note in there that I can't figure out, possibly a smidgen of cologne, and maybe a little caramel. It's still sour but also a little sweet. Looking at the notes, it's probably the patchouli and vetiver that I think are the cologne notes. I don't smell cinnamon at all, but maybe a smidgen of citrus.
Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5
Green Tea & Cucumber
Notes: A perfect blend of green teas as the high note and refreshing cucumber as the bottom note.
A super fresh clean summery scent of cucumber with a hint of zestiness that makes it smell like a salad, mixed with a little bit of sweetness from the green tea. Even though green tea is the high note, I smell mostly cucumbers and I might not realize the other note is tea if it weren't part of the scent name.
Throw: Medium, 3.5 out of 5
Indian Sandalwood
Notes: A warm, woodsy sensual fragrance
Sandalwood has a milky light wood note, and although I smell a little bit of that in this scent, this smells more like incense, with a slight baby powder note. It's a little perfumey, but subtle, not overly sweet. I like it.
Throw: Medium, 3 out of 5
Juicy Grapefruit
Notes: Tart, juicy and energizing! The true scent of a fresh cut grapefruit.
This is not a sweet pink grapefruit scent; it's a tart grapefruit with a lemon rind note. It's nice, but even better when mixed with Vanilla Coconut or Birthday Cake!
Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5
Lavender & Chamomile
Notes: Infused with natural essential oils including cedar wood, chamomile, lavender, eucalyptus and orange
This is a sweet fresh clean scent that smells like Fabuloso lavender scented cleaner mixed with a sweet slightly herbal slightly powdery fabric softener scent. It's fantastic! Looking at the notes, I don't smell eucalyptus or orange at all.
Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5 (old one was Faint, 2.5 out of 5)
Leather Jacket
Notes: Smells like a new leather jacket
It's definitely leather, with possibly a hint of smokiness. It does indeed smell like a leather jacket, or like walking into a leather store. Comparing this scent to Cowboy Leather, Cowboy Leather is a more "intense" leather scent without any other notes. If you like leather scents, grab them both and see which one you like. I think I'm leaning more towards Cowboy Leather.
Throw: Medium, 3.5 out of 5
Liza Jane
Notes: An intriguing blend of jasmine, honeysuckle, fresh cotton and pear. This is a dupe of Liza Jane's perfume.
I smell jasmine with a slight bitter note, possibly rose. Looking at the notes, yes I guess I do detect a smidgen of a cottony note, but I don't detect pear at all.
Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5
Ocean Breeze
Notes: Salty ozone with fresh citrus, while honeydew blends with a trace of violet in the heart of this marine fragrance
I've smelled this scent before and it smells like air freshener spray. It's a fake fresh air scent with an oceany note, but I can't figure out the specific notes because there's nothing in nature that smells like it. But that's not a bad thing, because it's a nice scent, and perfect for the bathroom. Looking at the scent notes, I don't smell citrus, although this does have a very slight zesty but bitter note, possibly a barely detectable hint of grapefruit. And I think I detect a smidgen of honeydew and floral.
Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5
Pumpkin Souffle
Notes: Fresh pumpkin with notes of brown sugar, molasses and spice completing this bakery blend
A rich buttery pumpkin pie scent. Yummy! If you like pumpkin pie scents, get this one instead of the Pumpkin Pie. It smells better and the scent takes over the entire house!
Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5
Rose Petals
Notes: An authentic rose scent
This smells like a nice rose scented soap. It's not overly sweet, and has a smidgen of bitterness but not enough to be annoying. It does smell a little bit like real rose, although it does have that soapy note. I like it.
Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5
Strawberry
Notes: Enjoy the delicious fragrance of sun ripened strawberries
A sweet strawberry buttercream scent. It's not an authentic strawberry, but that's okay because it smells great!
Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5
Toasted Marshmallow
Notes: Marshmallows roasted over a campfire
This smells like either marshmallow with peanut butter, or a burnt marshmallow. Looking at the notes, I guess it's a burnt note, although it smells a bit like peanut butter to me. I don't smell any smokiness. It's a nice scent.
Throw: Medium, 3 out of 5
Vanilla Coconut
Notes: A house blend of coconut and vanilla
I love this scent! It's similar to the Birthday Cake scent, but not as vanilla cakey, and with a slight coconut buttercream note. When melted, I think there's also a hint of warm amber/cashmere that gives it just a touch of a perfumey note.
Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5 (both old & new)
Very Cherry
Notes: Mouthwatering juicy sweet cherries
This smells just like super cherryish cherry soda, but without the fizziness (or there may be a tiny bit of fizziness). It's not an authentic cherry scent at all, which is okay. I like it! The scent only lasted about 2 hours though.
Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5
