Ark House Handcrafted Wax Melts Reviews

This smells a bit like the Apple Cinnamon scent, but with less of that "raw apple" note, and a bit less cinnamon. I do smell the apple cider, but I also get the donut note as well as sweet vanilla.

A very nice sweet apple cider scent with cinnamon and maybe a hint of clove. It's a standard type of scent that always comes out in the fall, but this version is a very good quality and smells authentic. Looking at the notes, I don't detect peach at all, and tonka (vanilla) is what's probably giving this the extra sweet note that sets it apart from other similar scents.

A perfect, smoky spruce scent that may have a smidgen of eucalyptus in the background. It's not a biting or sour pine like some pine scents can be. Looking at the notes, I only detect the pine, definitely no berry at all, and the cedarwood, vanilla, and musk could be in there although I don't think I detect them either. But the vanilla could be contributing to the softness of this scent, although there's no sweetness at all. I adore this smoky spruce scent, so I'm really disappointed that the throw is so mild.

I smell mostly butterscotch, but it has a little bit of a burnt note, although not in a bad way. I can actually smell the bourbon. It's a nice, rich scent.

A fantastic combination of cinnamon and cranberry, with maybe some other fruit that tempers the tartness of the cranberry. This scent is quite sweet and hardly tart at all. I'm not a fan of most cinnamony scents, but this one is not overly cinnamony, and I really like it. Looking at the notes, okay, it's not cranberry at all, which explains the lack of tartness. And I don't smell orange at all.

A sweet dessert scent that smells like a milk chocolate bar with creamy coffee flavored vanilla filling. It's yummy! Looking at the notes, no coffee or chocolate, although those are both the main notes of this scent. I don't smell maple.

A yummy, super sweet, milky, vanilla buttercream scent with a hint of caramel. I love this one!

A fresh watery scent with a bit of a salty oceany note, a cucumbery or aloe note, and maybe a smidgen of a grassy note, but not actually floral. It's just a tiny bit sweet. Looking at the notes, I don't detect any berry or fruity notes at all, or musk (which would give this a perfumey note). I'm not a fan of this scent.

A very pleasant scent of sandalwood, sweetened with a floral and a little bit of warmth from the amber. I like it!

A lovely combination of tropical fruits and sweet florals. I smell mango, as well as some other fruit, maybe apple. There are no pineapple notes. The floral is very sweet, like jasmine. And it might have a hint of coconut in the background. Looking at the notes, they're spot on, although I don't detect the pineapple. I love it!

A super sweet, perfumey floral scent that smells more like gardenia than honeysuckle or jasmine, but I do get hints of honeysuckle and jasmine too. I love these types of scents! Looking at the notes, I don't detect any citrus.

A very nice lavender scent with a hint of sweetness, a hint of a medicinal note, and maybe a hint of eucalyptus. It's definitely not a sweet or perfumey lavender, but it's also not overly medicinal. It's actually just right! When melted, I think I detect a smidgen of lemongrass. Looking at the notes, I don't smell wood or any green or herbal notes.

A fantastic spa scent that smells like garden mint (a more "natural" type of mint with notes of spearmint and peppermint, but without the toothpastey note that a lot of spearmint scents tend to have) and a hint of lemon (but not lemongrass, which makes this different from a lot of similar spa type scents). The lemon is more of a lemon peel type lemon rather than a tart or zesty or full bodied lemon juice or lemonade type lemon (how many times can I say "lemon" in one sentence??). The mint has a slight nasal clearing effect. Looking at the notes, I don't detect orange, but that might be why the lemon is not so "lemony". I really like this one.

A fantastic masculine scent of mahogany wood with a sweet, slightly soapy note that I can't figure out. Maybe amber and/or a hint of patchouli, and possibly a smidgen of coconut or vanilla way in the background, because it has a tiny bit of a foodie note. Looking at the notes, I don't detect citrus at all. I love this scent, and it's a bit different from other mahogany type scents I've smelled before.

This is a common scent that smells like Bath & Body Works Pumpkin Pecan Waffles, and Mainstays Pecan Pumpkin Cake. It's a super rich, sweet, creamy, milky, nutty scent with a bit of salted caramel and hint of maple. It's very rich, almost nauseatingly so, but so scrumptious! Looking at the notes, I don't smell cinnamon, but maybe a smidgen of apple. I'm surprised I don't see any nutty notes.

A fantastic scent that smells like rose scented soap. It's not an authentic rose, but that's okay, because it smells great. It's not bitter like a lot of rose scents can be, nor is it overly sweet or perfumey.

This is a slightly salty, ocean water type scent with a hint of floral. It's just a little bit sweet. It smells a bit like the Daisy scent, but this scent is a little sweeter, and with more of the salty oceany note, and no cucumbery or aloe notes. It's just an "okay" scent for me, a bit too "oceany", but would probably be great as a mixer to tone down floral or perfumey type scents that are too sweet.

A very sweet floral like gardenia, but with other florals I can't identify, and a bitter note that's sometimes added to florals to make them smell more authentic. It's quite nice. Looking at the notes, I don't detect any fruit.

I thought this might be a dupe for Yankee Candle Strawberry Lemon Ice, and it's quite similar, although the Yankee scent has a bit of a lemony note that this scent doesn't have. This is a super sweet, fake (in a good way) strawberry scent with perhaps some other fruity or berry notes, and a tiny bit of vanilla. I don't detect lemon or any zestiness though. After about an hour it takes on a tiny bit of a sour note that could be peach or cantaloupe. And looking at the notes, there's the peach. I don't smell mandarin (orange) or musk. On cold sniff I thought maybe I detected apple, but I don't smell that when melting. I like it.

A fantastic strawberry scent that smells like real strawberries mixed with tons of sugar. It's very, very sweet. But it's also more authentic than most strawberry scents I've smelled. I love it! Looking at the notes, I don't smell musk or any perfumey notes at all.
