Rainbow Melts Review

While this site mainly focuses on candles, we love wax melts, too. We love the variety and quickness with which we can change out scents. When the wax melts are adorable, too? That’s an added bonus! We wanted to try out Rainbow Melts as they have such creative blends and the wax melts themselves are too, too cute.

We purchased the Mystery Box for $28 at the time of this review. Rainbow Melts opens up for pre-orders which is live until they reach capacity for their stated turn-around time. While they open/close for the pre-orders, you can still buy remainder products from previous pre-orders or a Mystery Box from their customs orders. Our Mystery Box was purchased just before the holidays, so these were mostly holiday themed scents that we received. This sampler was amazing and full to the brim with wax melts! Here is a roundup of what we received:

• Seaside Nights
• Back To December
• Shine Bright
• Marshmallow Pine
• Wicked Vanilla Woods
• Gingerbread Bliss
• Sugar & Spice
• Winter Embers
• Santa’s On Vacation
• Buddy
• Gift Bag

Candlefind uses a specific process to try to test all candles and wax melts on as even a playing field as possible. For wax melts, we use a tealight melter, hotplate melter, and a bulb melter to test each fragrance when possible. We also use approximately the same amount for each test. In this case, we used our crinkle cutter to cut the melts into fairly even pieces, and we used a small kitchen scale to make it as close as possible. Here are our thoughts on each wax melt tested, but if you’re in a hurry scroll down to the bottom for our overall thoughts!

This round wax melt came in a small tin pan, complete with decorative sprinkles on top. Rainbow Melts includes their pour dates on the label, and this pour date was 10/15/24. The wax melt itself was huge and individually packaged in a cello bag. The fragrance was absolutely lovely on cold sniff – very ozony but not perfumey.

This wax melt when warmed was just divine! It was romantic and soothing, a little sexy. This did have the fresh water ozone notes but was mellowed a lot with the warm vanilla notes. A stunning combination of fragrances! 

This cutie was shaped like a giant snowflake with a pour date listed as 10/05/24. It had the usual bling on top for some extra sparkle. The cold sniff was fresh and clean. 

This scent was fantastic, as it was fresh and clean with all the Christmas evergreen notes blended in for good measure. Easily one of our favorites in the bunch!

The Marshmallow Pine wax melt was in a round tin pan with glitter bling on the top. It was a pretty olive green type of color. The pour date on the label was 10/17/24. The pine notes predominated on cold sniff. 

This wax melt was in a round tin pan and decorated with bling on top. It was a lovely pinkish color. The pour date on the label was 10/13/24. The cold sniff was mostly that familar Amber Woods fragrance with hints of sweetness. 

This was a gorgeous wax melt in a deeper pinkish color. It was in a square disposable tin and had decorative bling on top. The pour date on the label was 9/19/24. On cold sniff, we got a lot of the gingerbread notes. 

This was a round wax melt in a disposable tin pan with decorative bling on top. The pour date on the label was 10/15/24. This was an orangeish yellow color. 

This wax melt was shaped like a Christmas tree, which was perfect for the scent blend. It had a pour date of 9/30/24. It was yellow and covered in bling. It smelled fantastic sniffing it cold. 

I saved Buddy as the last one to melt because he was so incredibly cute! He was shaped as a gingerbread man and had glitter bling on him. He was not in a container but was preserved in a cello bag. The pour date was 9/10/24. Buddy was yellow and oh-so-adorable! He smelled heavily on maple syrup on cold sniff. 

This wax melt was right up my bakery-loving alley! The fragrance was heavy and rich with plenty of maple syrup notes. The sugar cookie and marshmallow scents added to the mouthwatering goodness without weighing down the fragrance. 

The wax melt was a pretty purple color with an intricate scroll pattern on its surface. It was made extra special with the included mica/glitter. The pour date on this melt was 10/01/24. This was a beautiful and sort of masculine fragrance. It was very sexy and warm – I really wanted to curl up in a blanket full of this goodness!

The wax melts from Rainbow Melts are a generous size and packaged so well. We love the pour dates that are listed on each label, as well as the scent notes. We happen to love bling with our melts, so the glitter and mica were nice pluses for us. We also appreciated the generous sizes of the melts and the entire mystery package.
