  • My delicious melts arrived this morning and gingerbread smells delicious, lovely and strong, OH just walked in and said he could smell it as soon as he opened the front door, very pleased :)

    my Delicious Melts came this morning and I'm NOT impressed at all I have to say.
    I tried the vanilla custard cream first as the wax was a bit broken and had to put in 2 cubes before I could smell anything, even then barely and after 3 hours it had gone completely so I swapped it to the Gingerbread one which was a bit stronger (again, had to use 2 cubes) but the smell was a bit artificial compared to some others I've tried and not lasting very long.
    Suffice to say I'm glad I got the discount and only bought 4 packs. I won't be getting them again as £5 a pack is not good value for money in my book.
    Will be sticking to my candlewick greens, moosterbubble, wicknwax and scented candle heaven going forward.

    Thats a shame, others seems to really like them, i think they are really strong... how were the other smells you got or did you get 2 of the same?

    the chocolate orange was pretty good - fairly strong (had to use 2 cubes tho') and nice smell with a reasonable last.
    The coconut one (no woman no shy) was awful - smelt very artificial and waxy, altho' strong for one cube.
    I've saved to the vanilla one to use in my little loo and the choice orange but the other 2 have gone in my 'sell on' box with countless other brands!!!!
    I think once you've tried the likes of candlewick green, wicknwax and a few others most other UK wax is a big let down for quite a few people.I'm just looking at getting some US wax delivered to our hotel in America when we go.

    would you recommend this deliciousmelts place, seem to have some good reviews, but one not so good from someone on here (but she said her sense of smell isnt wasnt it use to be)


    might give them a try?

    I personally think there are a lot stronger melts for less money around, and a bigger fragrance range - can I give websites??????

    reading through the previous posts on here it looks like people got a discount code, is it still valid (looks like its been removed?)

    I've PM'd you my fave companies. I like bakery / food ones best with a few fruity and fresh fragrances. Can't stand floral or perfume-y / aftershave type scents lol!!!

    Sorry, can't remember code - is it on the code board????
