Making Scents in AZ Wax Melt Reviews
November 4, 2017
As of 2019, their website is gone, and their Facebook page has been inactive since late 2018.
This is a review of wax melts by Making Scents in AZ, a small candle and wax melt company in the White Mountains of Arizona that makes candles and wax melts using EcoSoya wax (100% soy, no blends, no paraffin). Their products are also free of hydrogenated oil. I found that the scents did not last long, around 2 or 3 hours. Making Scents in AZ's website is http://makingscentsinaz.com, and they are also on Facebook.
Black Cherry
Strong, fresh, black cherry scent; perfect for those who love cherries!
A nice strong black cherry scent. Black cherry is a harsh biting type cherry, but it smells great.
Cornucopia
Blend of pear, sweet pumpkin, vanilla, clove and sugar
Fantastic sweet apple scent with a raisin note and a hint of caramel, and maybe a smidgen of cinnamon. I also detect a sweet floral note like gardenia. Looking at the scent notes, I guess the apple and gardenia I'm smelling is actually pear.
Country Rain
Soft bouquet of rose and violet with a body of musk
I've smelled this scent before. It's a nice baby powder type floral with a sweet watery note, perfect for the bathroom.
Eucalyptus
A wonderful scent for relaxing and relieving stress
A eucalyptus scent that smells a little like Vicks VapoRub. Great for melting if you have a cold! Has a little bit of an industrial cleaner note.
Fireside
Cozy combination of woods, spices and fresh eucalyptus (duplicate of Yankee Candle fragrance)
I smell a little bit of a Liquid Smoke note, mixed with tobacco and a hint of wood and maybe a smidgen of patchouli. It's a nice scent, but it has a little bit of a chemical note. I've never smelled the Yankee Candle version so I don't know how it compares.
Gardenia
Fresh and earthy, and smells like a fresh blooming gardenia flower
This is a fantastic gardenia scent. It smells like a combination of orange blossom/neroli (one of my favorite scents) and gardenia, with a bit of a fresh soapy note. It's not an authentic floral scent, but more of a neroli/gardenia perfume, but in a good way. It's not overly perfumey though. I love this one!
Hawaiian Tropics
A light, fruity, tropical blend of orange, pineapple, strawberry and hints of lavender and jasmine
This is a tropical type scent but it has a bit of a bathroom cleaner note. I'm not a fan of this scent.
Lemon Cake
Reminiscent of fresh, creamy, sweet and tangy lemon cake
A perfect lemon scent! A nice zesty lemon with sweet creamy vanilla. This is not as sweet as some other similar scents I've smelled, and it smells quite authentic. I love this one!
Mahogany
Notes of fresh mahogany and blood orange, with essences of cognac on a base of bourbon vanilla, and sandalwood
I've smelled this scent before. It's a fantastic sweet pipe tobacco scent with a slight patchouli note and maybe a smidgen of maple and caramel. One of my favorite scents! Looking at the scent notes, I don't smell orange at all. And the maple and caramel are probably the cognac and bourbon vanilla.
Ocean Breeze
A beautiful light scent of roses with some strawberry and peach
A nice fresh soapy scent with a floral note, but it's not overly sweet or perfumey. It smells like a woman's shower gel or shampoo.
Patchouli
Pungent aroma of patchouli leaves
A nice slightly sweet patchouli scent.
Pumpkin
Pumpkin and spices with vanilla pudding undertones to accentuate the sweetness of the pumpkin aroma.
This is not a regular pumpkin scent, and it's different from their Pumpkin Pie Spice scent. It's much better, a super sweet rich caramel marshmallow scent with nutmeg and cinnamon. Fantastic and yummy!
Sage
A blend of sweet sage, lavender and orange with hints of fresh pine needles
A grassy soapy scent. It's a little sweet, not savory (which is what I would expect from a sage scent).
White Cherry Blossom
A beautiful floral of cherry blossoms scent surrounded by fresh leafy greens
A nice powdery sweet floral with a smidgen of a fresh green note and maybe a barely detectable hint of fruit. It's not really a cherry blossom scent, more like orchid. Very nice scent, I really like it! The scent only lasted about a half hour.
Winter Hideaway
A warm and cozy fragrance consisting of cypress, wintergreen and smoky vetiver, lavender, cedar wood and amber, with essence of frosted mint leaf and coriander
A lovely pine scent with a vanilla mint note. The pine is subtle, and the vanilla is just slightly sweet and a little soapy.
