PR Products – these gel wax melts were kindly gifted in exchange for a review. All thoughts are my own and I would never recommend something I wouldn’t purchase myself
I was thrilled when Village Wax Melts agreed to send me their new gel wax melts to try. I hadn’t heard of this latest trend, but I am always hunting for melts packed full of fragrance.
I frequently talk on the blog about using self-care purchases to improve my mental health. Going through a mental breakdown highlighted how much I need this daily self-care. Buying a candle or wax melt and burner, is now on my weekly shopping list. Whilst I am working from home, it brightens my day. And depending on the fragrance, it can also calm stressful moments. What a revelation to try out a gel wax melt. I was also kindly gifted some other products, which I will discuss throughout this post.
Gel wax melts
I was so excited to try these and they did not disappoint. Before trying out this new product, I previously had to put my used burners in the freezer to remove the leftover wax. You don’t have to do this with the gel. It just peels out after use.
They are also more highly scented and you can smell the fragrance as soon as you open the tub. I wanted to take some great photos and videos for the blog, but I was genuinely mesmerised by how it melts. And I found myself sitting there are ages watching the process. Doing this is calming in itself. Definitely, something I would purchase in future, instead of the usual wax melts.
Wax melt selection
Village Wax Melts also kindly sent me a range of normal wax melts to try. I loved the shape and the fragrances. I will be honest and say I was previously put off buying scents which mimic perfumes and aftershave. But I have to say that the savage (wax melt and gel wax melt) was so refreshing. I am sure we all wear perfume for a night out. But having that same smell burning in your home makes you feel fresh. Like you’re on holiday, in a busy bar, living life. The scent isn’t as overpowering as someone wearing it, but it’s lovely to brush past as you walk to the kitchen. I am now sold on perfume and aftershave-related scents and love also loved the Aliens scent they included for me. Scents which transport you to another familiar situation, are excellent.
The scent I loved the most
Out of the wax melts I was sent, my favourite one has to be Aperol Nights. Because I love them so much, I have nearly used them all. I suppose we all have different tastes, but this one is my go-to and I will be ordering it again.
Final thoughts
I hope you enjoyed my review of these fantastic products. Please go check out the website.
I do love myself a good wax melt, these look amazing though & a lovely review of the business! c:
I love a wax melt too. Just so refreshing.
Great review! I’ve never actually tried wax melts before for some reason but they sound so relaxing. The gel ones sound really satisfying to watch and the scents of all of them sound amazing! Thank you so much for sharing.
The gel ones are so satisfying. I find the melts are much cheaper than buying jar candles.
Thanks for these reviews. I’m always looking for some good scents. Thanks for sharing
They are great scents. There is nothing worse than melts which don’t last very long.
Thank you for sharing your review. It’s nice to enjoy a good smelling candle/wax melting. Lovely post. ☺️

It’s great to enjoy a moment of calm with a lovely scent. It brightens my day!
I love a good smelling candle/wax melt. My favorite scent I currently is blood orange. It smells so yummy!
Ooo, I have a blood orange one. But my hubby dislikes it. I have it on when I am working from home.
