Rawrgirls Review . . . Melt Ginger And Bergamot Luxury Handmade Scented Candle!

Sunday 26 May 2013

I'm a scented candle freak, there's one in every room in my house and I can't even remember what my house naturally smells like! So when we got the call to try one of the luxury scented candles by Melt, hand poured and made in England, I jumped at the chance!

I was sent Ginger & Bergamot (£21), which is described on the beautiful gift box as . . .

"Be heady. Weave spells. Enchant. Mesmerize - But above all - Shine! There are too many daisies in life." 

So I'm reading the box and I'm already going 'Oooooohhhh!' to myself because it reminds me of the whole Wildfox/SpiritHood way of describing products. It sits in a stylish glass jar, the candle itself is a nice neutral colour and it was pumping fresh notes up my nose straight out of the box.

There's a whole load of scenting going on in this bad boy, with Ginger, Bergamot, Lily, Rose, Green Apple and Clove listed, and the candle claims to have over 70 hours of burn time. I wouldn't normally go for this sort of scent because I'm a cake and fruit girl, but when it comes to candles I've learnt that you can always be pleasantly surprised when you think outside the box, so I sparked it up and sat back . . .


It literally took 5 minutes for it to throw it's fresh but flowery scent at every corner and boy is it powerful stuff! Some candles need to burn for a good while for the scent to start lingering but not this one, I'm impressed. A little goes a long way with a Melt candle I'm sure, the scent was so strong that I snuffed it out after 20 minutes and hmmm, let's see, it's now a good 2 hours since I 'turned it off' (BF always laughs when I say that) and the scent is still very much here! 


At £21 it seems expensive but I can vouch for the fact that you really don't have to 'use' that much of it to get a good scent throw going on, so in terms of pounds per wear it would definitely work out as value for money in the end. 

If you're a luxury candle fan I would definitely recommend Melt as a must try brand. I'm already eyeing up the Christmas version because I see it has my fave combo of vanilla and cinnamon in it - YUM.

  6. Oh I do love a good scented candle and this one sounds gorgeous, the price isn't too bad either considering it lasts a while. I'm tempted to get one, they've got so many to choose from!
