Scentsy

I was recently sent a sample of Scentsy Wickless Candles from Shannon Payne. I must say that I was very pleased that I was going to be reviewing this product because I love candles. I could stand in a candle aisle for an hour easy trying to figure out what scent I want to get and then end up with several because I can’t decide on one.

Wickless candles, obviously, do not have a wick and do not need to be lit. They need a warmer to be able to melt them, which we do not have! I think this little fact slipped my mind when I agreed to review them. (Hey, we all make mistakes!) So, please imagine me, standing in the middle of my living room, holding the sample of the candle, trying to figure out exactly how I am going to melt it. I got a big bowl of boiling water and then put the piece of a scentsy bar in another bowl. That bowl was set down inside the bowl of boiling water. It worked!

Now when I first received the sample, there was a wonderful burst of fragrance as soon as I opened the package. As soon as this little chunk of candle started melting, the smell immediately filled the room. I was sent Lilacs and Violets, and it reminded me of flowers and fresh laundry just taken off the clothesline or out of the dryer. Even after it stopped melting, the fragrance lingered for several hours.

There are many scents available to choose from. Everything from Autumn Sunset, Cinnamon Vanilla, and Blueberry Cheesecake to French Kiss, Bamboo Sugar Cane, and Fried Ice Cream. Reading the description of the scents made me want to try them all! There are also a great selection of warmers to choose from. (I’m sure you would enjoy your experience much more this way instead of using a bowl of water!) Choices included classic, one-color warmers to very nicely decorated ones. Some of these include Zensy, Retro Chic, Terra Cotta, Sunburst, Porcelain Lace and Fleur-de-Lis. Makes you want to go take a peek, doesn’t it?

The Scentsy Wickless Candles are available in bars or the larger “bricks.” There are multi-packs available to help get you started enjoying your Scentsy experience. There are also car candles available for when you are on the go and want to take that delicious fragrance with you.

Wickless candles are great not only for families with small kids in the house, but for anyone because they are an excellent alternative to having a lit candle setting around.

Visit Shannon Payne and let her help you get started enjoying the wonderful frangrances of Scentsy!
