Scentsy for the Holidays – Wickless Candles Review

scentsy

Most of us want our homes to smell warm and inviting when we have company. However, burning regular candles often poses many fire hazards and is not safe for children. Thanks to Scentsy Wickless Candles, your home can now smell wonderful and burn safely for children too.

Scentsy Wickless Candles provide a safe alternative to candles. The fragrant wax is heated in a ceramic warmer using a low-watt light bulb so there is no flame, smoke or soot. The long-lasting wax melts slowly infusing the room with fragrance throughout. Best of all, Scentsy Wickless Candle Bars are only $5 each and come in 80 trend-defining fragrances including spa, corner cafe, romance, man scents and more! Their wickless candles contain three times as much fragrance oil as regular waxed candles! With more than 100 ceramic warmer designs for any size room, personality or home decor you will be sure to find the perfect Scentsy warmer for your environment. You can even create your own warmer using their DIY Scentsy Warmers and rub-on transfers ($10).

Scentsy has a brand new line of Holiday 2011 Wickless Candle Warmers and fragrance bars. I was blessed to receive the Tannenbaum full-size warmer and two fragrance bars: Vanilla Cream and Christmas Cottage. The Scentsy for the Holidays Collection includes both full-size warmers and plug-in warmers. The thing I loved about the Tannenbaum full-size warmer is that with its beautiful design and green coloring, I could use this warmer not only during the holiday season but on an everyday basis as well. It was not limited to just Christmas time usage. Best of all, when the warmer is plugged-in, you can touch not only the warmer but also the wax without getting burned. It is a great way to fragrance our home and still know that it is safe for our children to be around. Since you can touch the warmer without being burned, it also makes it easy to move around if you need to move it. The full-size Tannenbaum warmer comes with a base and warming dish as well as a 25-watt lightbulb for use with the Scentsy bars or bricks.

The fragrance bars come in a “clam-like” casing that has 6 break apart sections. You simply divide the bar among the warmers (if you have multiple warmers) or put 1-2 sections in your single warmer dish, turn the bulb on and watch the bar melt down as the fragrance envelops your room. The Vanilla Cream is french vanilla with a touch of coconut milk. This fragrance reminded me of fresh vanilla beans and was light and gentle in our kitchen. However, my favorite was Christmas Cottage, a cozy inviting blend of Valencia oranges, raspberries, cloves and spices. It smelled just like you expect a Christmas fragrance to be. In fact, I am saving this fragrance bar to enjoy in December at Christmastime as we host and entertain during the holiday season. Changing scents is very easy to do. You just pour the melted wax back into the original packaging and store it in a cool place so the wax will reshape. You can re-melt the fragrance bars over and over again. One of the other neat aspects of Scentsy is that you can mix and match fragrance bars. For example, you could put 1 section of Vanilla Cream with 1 section of Mochadoodle (roasted coffee beans and cocoa, sugar, caramel and heavy cream) to create a coffee house smell right in your own home!

Scentsy prides themselves in creating products that are healthy and safe. Besides the warmers and fragrance bars, they also have complete lines of Scent Circles, Travel Tins, Room Sprays, Scent Packs and the new Scentsy Buddies for children! With the holiday season just around the corner, Scentsy would make wonderful gifts this holiday season and are great for homes, nurseries, daycares, offices and more! Check out their holiday line as well as their everyday products and get ready to make any environment enticing with Scentsy fragrances.
