Intro To My Wax Melt Review

Smoky Mountain Berries from Dessa’s Homespun Scents is billed as a holiday scent and I have admittedly had it on my list to review for several months. I’m not really a seasonal melter anyway, but I think this is one of those scents that would be good to use all year around. Dessa's Cold Barn Wax Melt

First Impressions of My Wax Melt

This wax melt was in an individual, 2 ounce tart cup. The color was a rustic red color. Dessa fills her tart cups full of wax and I always feel like I’m getting my money’s worth from her. The cold sniff was warm and sweet. According to the website:

I honestly didn’t get the tree notes on cold sniff, but it was a great berry scent and I couldn’t wait to melt it. I used the entire wax melt in my 24W hot plate melter. It immediately started putting out scent and it…was…fantastic! I first smelled the sweet/tangy berry notes that reminded me of cranberries. After it was melting a bit more, I did start noticing something that smelled like fresh pine needles. This had some deep woodsy notes that blended well with the berry notes. I really could see how this would work well for the holidays!  

How Did My Wax Melt Perform?

This was a strong scent with an excellent scent throw. I could smell this wax melt all throughout the open living area and on down my hallways. I kept it going non-stop for several hours and it never missed a beat.

Closing To My Review

Smoky Mountain Berries was a refreshing scent for me to melt and I could see myself melting it year ’round. It was fresh and festive, sweet with a bit of tanginess, with woodsy/piney notes that all blended well together. It is one of those scents that is strong enough without being overpowering, so I think it would be good for holiday gatherings, too. I have yet to be disappointed with anything from Dessa!
