Hi Jennifer, I’m really sorry to hear you felt the scent throw wasn’t strong enough.
We’ve personally tested all of the fragrances in the Scent Vault and have been really pleased with the scent throw, so I’m disappointed they didn’t perform as expected for you.
Scent throw can vary depending on the size of the room, the amount of wax used and how the melts are warmed, but we’d really like to understand what happened in your case. If you could drop us a message with which fragrance(s) you tried and how you warmed them, we’d be more than happy to help.
All the best
Ru
Lovely product and packaging
Lovely product and packaging. The wax melts smell gorgeous and long lasting. My favourite is Lime,Basildon and Mandarin but looking forward to trying some of the other scents.

Citronella wax melts.
