Simple Candle Co | April Box

First off, I just want to give a huge thank you to Simple Candle Co to offering me the chance to review there monthly subscription box. I was super excited to try them out because they are wax melt scents, and who doesn't love fresh scents right? But also because I am already a subscriber to Flamingo Candles which is very similar so it would give me a chance to compare the two.


To give a brief overview, Simple Candle Co is a luxurious home scented candle company who supply all kinds of scents ranging from fruity, food and floral, plus much more. All at an affordable price in various styles including jar candles or wax melts. Plus all the products are created with 100% natural soy wax and everything is handmade. 


The company currently have a monthly subscription theme (Melts Monthly) where you receive eight wax melts, an exclusive 20% discount code you can use on a purchase from the website. For only £10 each month (retail worth of £18.95) including postage, each month the melts you will receive will be different. They will be choose carefully from the company, some old scented, some current and some yet-to-be launched melts.

Packaging:
To begin with, I was beyond in love with the packaging it had a simple yet such an effective black & white monochrome string tie. Something I've never seen before on parcels from a company, plus it had the Melts Monthly logo sticker on the corner of the box. And an extra sticker securing the cardboard box! (Which seemed to be secure, the packaging box wasn't near to opening at all) Inside was a sheer white piece of tissue paper with a small logo sticker in the center. After opening I found the information card, then a pink and white stripe paper bag with the candles inside! 


Products:
In this months box, there was the eight melts plus an extra bonus melt which I was surprised about because there was two included in the small bag. And an information sheet packed full of details about each product, 20% discount code and a personal message.


Damson Noir - £2 Click here to view online.
I honestly love this melt, its very soft fresh fruity scent with a spice twist. 
"Harmonious notes of plum, berries and cassis indulged in spices of clove and cinnamon."

Moroccan Dusk -
This scent is again a light soft scent but very strong and for-filled with an orange and sweet smell.
"A sweet citrus burst of mandarin tea enveloped by Moroccan spices & orange blossom."

Mint Tea -
I must admit this is most likely my least favorite, but it might smell different when burning. It's a very powerful melt packed of a green mint scent but would be most refreshing to burn in the kitchen.
"Founded on a blend of fresh crushed green mint leaves infused with white tea."

Jasmine & Lily - £2 Click here to view online.
I love this melt, another favorite out of this box purely because of how floral and smooth the scent is, reminding me of fresh lily's. 
"Top notes of Indian jasmine and aromatic lily of the valley, which lead into an alluring and sweet geranium."

Rhubarb Plum -
Out of all the melts included in this months box, this is 100% my absolute favorite the scent is very powerful and strong where you can instantly smell it without trying. A fresh, fruity scent packed full of a raspberry like sweet rhubarb. 
"A gorgeous, warm, fruity scent of black plum with added rhubarb."


Thai Lime & Mango - £2 Click here to view online.
Another lovable scent, this wax melt is a very light warm smell with a main scent of mango but a very light sweet lime twist indulged. 
"Tropical blend of Indian lemongrass, lemon and Thai lime with a base of melon, pineapple and mango."

Blueberry Muffin -
If you guys didn't know I'm a fan of all scents but anything sweet or sugary gets a huge love vote every time. This scent is a huge LOVE! It's packed with a sweet sugary candy smell with a powerfully blueberry input, it honestly smells so tasty and delicious words can't describe. 
"A fruity and delicious aroma of freshly baked blueberry muffins."

Fresh Aloe -
This melt isn't as powerful as the rest, its a very light innocent smell. It's very outdoor like, reminding me of fresh meadows or crisp clear lakes.
"A clean crisp aloe blend with a fresh bergamot on a base of delicate water lily and tuberose."

Weekend In Paris - Bonus Melt 
First off I just want to say WOW! I love anything shaped differently, out of the ordinary and these melts are shaped one as a butterfly and one as a flower. (super cute) Plus, the packaging is clear which I love because it makes it easy to see but you don't have to worry about wrapping them up after using one. With other products from other companies they wrap them up in a paper tissue (like the usual wax melts) which makes it difficult to store/maintain without damaging. 
The scent is very sweet, fresh and light oriented and honestly reminds me of the sugary candy sweets I got in packets, like Parma Violets.
"A floral blend of Damascan rose, violet, ylang ylang and geranium."  



Overall, I am in love with this box I can't complain about any of the scents some are more powerful smelt than others but all have there bonuses. I love how on the information card it gives a detailed explanation of each melt included, it has simple but rewarding packaging. Plus on the information card I received a hand written personal message, which just helps to prove each everything is handmade! The only few things I would love to see is on the information card, I would love to see each melt identified if they are "exclusive" or "soon-to-be" etc.


Conclusion? I love this box, and overall the company scents I think are very sophisticated and have made a real impression to me. I won't be able to afford to join the subscription right away as I'm too busy with exams, work commitments etc but in a few weeks I will 100% consider joining (be sure to follow me on Twitter & Instagram to keep track). But one thing I would love to see the company offer is the bonus melt Weekend In Paris available on the site, it's something different to what the company offer and could be a real hit to buy!
