I was introduced to these wax bars through a home party. Over 80 different scents of wax, so it is likely that you can find something you like. My favorite are the Bakery and Fall/Winter categories. They also have Favorites, Cafe, Romance, Man, Spa, and Tropical scents. I think they come out with more fragrances for the spring and summer. I leave my warmers on all the time and my wax tends to last 48 hours for 2 little squares. Eight squares come in a wax bar. If you turn your warmers off, the scents last longer. Each wax bar is $5 each, so very affordable. If you have an absolute favorite fragrance you warm all the time, it is more affordable to buy an entire "brick" of wax, which is a very large brick of wax of just one fragrance, for $20. The company also sells full-size large warmers, mid-size warmers, and smaller plug-in warmers that don't have cords for rooms with limited counter space. I was impressed by the variety and quantity of warmers they offer. I am happy with the quality of my warmers. They seem high quality and very decorative. While $30 may seem like a lot of spend on a large warmer, I'd rather spend a little more for a quality warmer than less for a chincey one. They also offer Combine and Save packages that save your some money. And, as with all direct selling companies, you can always have a party or place an order for $150 to receive more free and discounted product. I am very pleased with the authenticity of the fragrances I purchased, their strength, and the length of time they last for being warmed continuously. My only issue is that they use paraffin wax, which I don't find as eco-friendly. The company claims that when they tried other, more natural waxes, they didn't hold fragrance as well. But for us experienced tart warming customers that have bought from several smaller companies, we know that isn't necessarily true. Hopefully they can do some experimenting in the next few years to find a more eco-friendly wax. The one good thing about warming wax is that the wax doesn't burn off into the air, so the paraffin isn't being inhaled or damaging your walls. You can find consultants all over the internet and can purchase off each individual consultant's website, so you can buy the product whenever you want to. If you go to the link listed above, the site can direct you to find a consultant in your area. Shipping is $5 for 0-$50, 10% of your order for $50-149, and free for orders of $150 or more. That may be a lot to pay on a first time order for free shipping. If you want to place smaller orders and still receive free shipping, you can always contact a consultant and see if they can add your order to a current party. Still, $5 isn't bad for up to $50 of product. I love the quality of this product, and that the people that sell it are mostly moms that are trying to make their families a priority and earn a little extra income. Not all SAHMs have the time or money to make their own candles and advertise on the internet. This is a happy medium. I've never been disappointed with a fragrance that I had a chance to smell before I ordered. This is an advantage to having a nearby consultant. You can smell their samples before you purchase. You usually have to at least purchase samples from individually owned companies on the internet. Scentsy bars are my "go to" wax when I need to make my house smell great quickly and I know that it will be great everytime. If you haven't tried these, easily locate a consultant on the website above and support a WAHM today!

I was introduced to the world of wax melting when my cousin gave me a Scentsy warmer and three clamshells. I've not gotten anymore for myself since then because the price is a little high and I am not big on "house party" type things. Vanilla Cream - strong not-too-sweet vanilla with a bit of coconut milk and a hint of spice. Throws very well. Gardenia - Strong somewhat heady gardenia in which I don't detect any other notes. Just pure floral. Good thrower. If you don't like florals, you probably want to stay away from this one. Lots of Lavender - transparent scent, but fresh and throws nicely. Makes my house smell clean and fresh, but not in a detergent or floral way. I would recommend them, since I feel it's a quality and consistent product, but I wish the prices were better.
