Wax Melt

Floral Fanatics: The Lovers, Dreamers, and Plant Whisperers

If your wax melt collection is giving your shoe stash a run for its money (and let’s admit it, that’s quite the achievement), chances are you’re all about those floral fragrances. But hold up, it’s not just about enjoying pretty scents. There’s some serious science behind why your nose goes wild for those blooms.

You see, certain compounds in flowers trigger a chemical reaction in your brain that’s basically like hitting the pleasure button.

 

Floral Wax Melt

Science Says:

Flowers are like nature's own perfume artists, weaving their spell on us since forever. Chemicals like linalool, which you'll find in lavender and other floral goodies, has this cool way of soothing our frazzled nerves and dialling down stress levels.

 

It's basically like having a mini aromatherapy sesh in a wax melt! And that rose scent you're melting? Even though it doesn't have the exact same stuff as a real rose, the fragrance oil does such a banging job mimicking the natural scent that it still gives you those warm fuzzies of joy and contentment.

Let's talk about our old flower shoppe wax melt for a sec. It’s packing linalool, a chill-out compound that’s famous for its zen vibes, often hanging out in lavender and other flowery fragrances. That’s probably why you feel all calm and collected when you use this wax melt. Oh, and then there’s benzyl salicylate, giving off that sweet, floral aroma that just screams happiness and good vibes. Plus, we’ve got alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde in the mix, bringing in that cosy, familiar jasmine-like scent that’s bound to make you feel all nostalgic and warm inside.

Let me introduce you to our Oriental Rose wax melt—it's a real powerhouse of scent. It's got this trio of gems—citronellol, geraniol, and nerol—all straight from the heart of roses, giving you that classic floral kick. And get this, this melt is not just about smelling good; It's got serious chill-out vibes too, linked to kicking stress to the curb. Plus, It's got linalool in the mix for an extra dose of tranquillity, and citral to give it that zesty, lift-your-spirits twist. It's like a bouquet of relaxation in every melt.

You're Probably:

The Hopeless Romantic You're all about those handwritten love letters, believe in love stories that start with a glance, and can't help but shed a tear at every romantic comedy. Your floral wax melts? They're like the perfect soundtrack to your daydreams of a fairytale romance.
The Ultimate Hostess Your place is the go-to spot for good food, great company, and that cosy vibe that makes everyone feel at home. And you know what? Your floral wax melts play a huge role in setting that inviting atmosphere.

The Free Spirit You're all about expressing yourself, whether it's through art, music, or just rocking a killer outfit. And your floral wax melts? They're like an extension of your vibrant personality, sprinkling a little whimsy and magic into your space. Who knows, maybe those floral scents are even inspiring your next big masterpiece!
But if you crave a bit more zest in your life...

Citrus Wax Melt

Studies have shown that they can have a positive impact on mood, reducing anxiety and promoting feelings of happiness and well-being. Some research even suggests that citrus scents can boost energy levels and improve focus, making them the perfect pick-me-up for a busy day. So, it's no wonder you're drawn to them!

Take our Citrus Soak wax melt for example its on the VIP guest list. It's packed with compounds that interact with your nervous system to create a collection of feel-good vibes. Let's start with citral, the star of the show.

This zesty compound is responsible for that unmistakable lemon scent and has been shown to reduce anxiety and lift up your mood. It's like a mini-break for your mind, helping you unwind and embrace a more positive outlook.

Linalool this calming chemical, often found in lavender but also present in some citrus fruits, adds another layer of relaxation to the mix. It's known for its ability to reduce stress and promote a sense of well-being, making our Citrus Soak wax melt a double dose of tranquillity.

Don't forget limonene, the energising powerhouse found in many citrus fruits. Limonene is known for its mood-boosting properties, and it can also enhance focus and concentration. So, stick that Citrus Soak wax melt on, and you might just find yourself breezing through that to-do list!

You're Probably:

The Sunshine Chaser You're a solar-powered human, happiest when you're outdoors soaking up the rays. But when life keeps you indoors, your citrus wax melts bring a little bit of that sunshine glow to your home.
The Comedian You're always ready with a witty joke or a hilarious story. Your friends love your infectious laughter and your ability to find humour in any situation. Those citrus scents might just be fuelling your comedic genius!
On the other hand, if you prefer a more minimalist approach...

Clean Freaks: The Minimalists, Introverts, and "Monica from Friends" Type

If your home smells like a luxury hotel spa (and you secretly judge people who don't colour-coordinate their towels), congratulations, you're a member of the elite Clean Club. Welcome, sister! There's nothing wrong with a little extra attention to detail – you're the friend everyone admires for your impeccable taste and serene living space. 

And your love for clean scents? Well, it's just another way you express your appreciation for order, simplicity, and a well-curated life.

 

Clean and Minimalist Room

Science Says:

Turns out, that crisp, fresh scent you crave isn't just about masking last night's questionable meal. It's about creating a whole vibe – a sanctuary of serenity where even dust bunnies wouldn't dare leave a crumb.

So, what's the science behind the magic?

Aldehydes: These chemical compounds are the unsung heroes of the clean scent world, giving you that fresh, airy aroma that makes you feel like you've just stepped out of the shower. Aldehydes like hexyl cinnamic aldehyde and cyclamen aldehyde are often used to create those "fresh linen" or "spring air" vibes.

Citrus Notes: Don't be fooled by their zesty reputation, citrus notes like lemon and lime are often found in clean scents. They add a bright, uplifting feel that blasts through any lingering odours, like that trainers you forgot were in the gym bag. Common citrusy compounds include limonene, linalool, and citronellol. Plus, these have a secret superpower: studies show citrus scents can boost your mood and energy levels.

You're Probably:

The Minimalist You believe that less is more, and your home is a testament to that philosophy. Clean lines, neutral colours, and zero clutter – your aesthetic is so crisp, you could probably hear a pin drop (if you didn't vacuum it up already). Your friends joke that your house looks like a insta house, but hey, who needs knick-knacks when you've got a perfectly folded stack of white towels?
The Introvert Your home is your sanctuary, a pristine oasis where you can recharge in peace and quiet, surrounded by the calming scent of your clean wax melts. Your idea of a wild night is a bubble bath, a good book, and maybe a glass of wine.
The "Monica from Friends" Type You own a label maker (and you're not afraid to use it). Your spices are alphabetised, your sock drawer is colour-coded, and you have a spreadsheet for your cleaning schedule. You're not ashamed to admit that you've vacuumed the same spot three times just to make sure it's really clean. Your friends might lovingly call you a "neat freak," but you prefer the term "domestic goddess." (And let's be honest, you're not wrong.)
But if you find yourself drawn to the great outdoors..

Woody Wonders: The Grounded Ones, Nature Lovers, and Old Souls

So, you're the type who'd rather be scaling Scafell Pike than scrolling through Instagram, right? Your idea of a good time involves muddy boots (preferably on the Coast to Coast or the Trans-Pennine Trail), a flask of tea, or visiting the Lake District. And those woody scents you love? They're not just about making your house smell like a lumberjack's flannel (although, who doesn't secretly love that?). 

Nope, they're like a mini-forest escape in a wax melt.

 

Woody Wax Melt

Science Says:

Turns out, there's actually some science behind why you're so drawn to these scents. Woody fragrance oils often contain compounds that mimic the natural scents found in forests and trees. Some of these, like cedrol and patchouli, are known for their calming and grounding effects. Others, like Iso E Super, don't exist in nature but create a warm, woody aroma that lingers in the air.

But let's be honest, you probably don't care about all that science-y stuff. You just know that when you smell a whiff of pine or cedar, it's like being transported straight to the heart of a Forest.

Speaking of those lovely woody scents, here's the lowdown on some of the key players:

Cedarwood oil: This scent is basically a warm hug for your nose, thanks to cedrol. It has a calming aroma that can help reduce anxiety and promote sleep, so light up that cedarwood wax melt and say goodbye to those restless nights.

Sandalwood oil: This exotic scent contains santalol, which is said to be both calming and uplifting. It's a popular choice for creating a tranquil and serene atmosphere at home, perfect for unwinding after a long day on the trails.

Patchouli oil: While often associated with the 60s and 70s, patchouli has a deep, earthy aroma that's both grounding and sensual. It's a complex scent with hints of wood, spice, and sweetness.

Iso E Super: This synthetic fragrance is a bit of a chameleon. It blends beautifully with other scents but adds its own warm, woody aroma that lingers in the air.

Whether you're a seasoned hiker or just a nature lover at heart, there's a woody scent out there for you. So go ahead, pop on a wax melt, close your eyes, and let the fragrance transport you to your happy place.

You're Probably:

The Grounded One You're the mate everyone texts for advice, the one who always knows how to chill everyone out with a cuppa and a biscuit. Practical, down-to-earth, and always up for a good ramble in the countryside.
The Nature Lover Whether you're scrambling up Snowdon or just pottering around your garden, you're happiest when you're surrounded by greenery. You've got a National Trust membership, a bird feeder in the back garden, and a passionate dislike for plastic straws.
The Old Soul You're wise beyond your years, with a love for history, tradition, and a good old-fashioned pub quiz. You're the friend who always has a book recommendation (probably a classic) and a comforting cuppa on hand.
But wait, there's more! For those of us who believe life is a box of chocolates (and it's totally okay to eat them all in one go)...

Sweet-Toothed Sensations: The Bakers, Cuddle Monsters, and Self-Care Queens

If your happy place involves a mixing bowl, a sprinkle of icing sugar, and a Netflix marathon, then, my friend, you're a Sweet-Toothed Sensation. You're the kind of person who believes that life is too short to say no to dessert, and your wax melts are basically a hug.

 

Sweet Wax Melt

Science Says:

But there's more to your love for sweet scents than just a craving for sugar. Science says these aromas are packed with compounds that can trigger a happy-dance in your brain.

Ethyl Maltol: This clever little compound is what gives cotton candy, caramel, and those "cake batter" scents their irresistible sweetness. It's like a sugar rush for your senses, minus the calories.

Benzaldehyde: If you love the smell of almonds, cherries, or marzipan, you can thank benzaldehyde for that. It's a common ingredient in sweet fragrance oils and can have a calming effect.

Vanillin: Ah, vanilla. The OG of comforting scents. It's like a warm hug from your nan, minus the embarrassing baby photos. Turns out, this classic scent comes from vanillin, a compound that can actually reduce stress and help you relax.

You're Probably:

The Baker You're basically Mary Berry 2.0. Your kitchen is your happy place, and you've got a cupboard overflowing with sprinkles, cookie cutters, and more cake tins than you can count. Your sweet-scented wax melts are just the icing on the cake of your cosy home.
The Cuddle Monster You're the friend everyone wants to snuggle up with on the sofa. You've got a collection of fluffy blankets, an endless supply of hot chocolate, and a heart full of love to share. Your sweet-scented wax melts just add to the warm and fuzzy vibes.
The Self-Care Queen You know the importance of taking time for yourself and indulging in a little pampering. Whether it's a bubble bath, a face mask, or just curling up with a good book and a cuppa, you've got self-care down to a science. And of course, your sweet-scented wax melts are an essential part of your routine.

In Conclusion

So, there you have it! Your wax melt choices reveal more than you might think about your personality and preferences. Now go ahead, embrace your scent personality, and let your home fragrance tell your story!
