nanners is a perfect scent that makes my home smell so fresh and welcoming. it's perfect for early mornings — entertaining for brunches is also a perfect time to burn nanners!
great candle that you could burn all evening since the scent is cozy and not overwhelming. i can't imagine who wouldn't love a candle that smells like fresh baked bread!
smells amazing! sounds so cool! i love the small touches, like the little bag and can opener. it felt like i was opening something specifically for me :) love love love!
i bought two candles as a birthday gift for my sister-in-law, and she absolutely loves them! the shipping was extremely prompt. i'll definitely buy from melt. again.
i love these candles! they have a great throw and the crackle sound from the wood wick is lovely. i have liked all of the scents i've purchased.
rachael has given me personal service on each of my orders. the thing i like most about melt is the variety of scents — all low key without being overpowering.
powdery, fresh scent that will help you relax. i want to light this next to a bath of hot bubble water to wind down after a long day.
i absolutely love these candles — they smell good throughout my whole entire house and burn for long periods of time. i'm buying all that i can and so should you.
