Quick delivery but no throw at the moment

My order arrived so quickly after ordering. After reading about this company, I thought their waxes may be so much better than others I have bought in the past, however, after melting two items of my order, I'm afraid there is no throw whatsoever. I can only smell them when I am right next to the melting wax. I just hope the rest of my wax order will fare much better.

Thank you so much for your order and for taking the time to leave a review, I really do appreciate it.

I’m sorry to hear the scent throw wasn’t quite what you’d expected. It’s not something we usually hear (as you may have seen in other reviews), but of course scent is a very personal experience.

If you’d be happy to pop me a quick message at info@smithandkennedy.co.uk, I’d love to help look into it with you. Sometimes things like the type of burner used can affect how the fragrance performs - especially if it doesn’t get quite hot enough to release the scent properly like when using electric burners especially with low wat bulbs, I’m always here if something doesn’t seem quite right, and I genuinely appreciate the chance to help figure it out.

Warmest wishes,
Denise

An absolute delight!

An absolute delight! The Candy Cane wax melts bar from Smith and Kennedy is an absolute delight! From the moment I opened the package, the sweet, minty aroma filled the air, instantly putting me in a festive mood. The scent is perfectly balanced. It's not too overpowering but strong enough to create a cozy festive atmosphere throughout my home.
This scent captures the essence of Christmas, reminding me of candy canes and a festive cheer. Highly recommended to any one looking to fill their home with a festive scent.

The fragrance doesn't last very long

The variety of fragrances are really good but the smell only lasts for a day which is a shame.

Hi Diana,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re really glad you enjoyed the variety of our fragrances, but we’re genuinely sorry to hear that the scent didn’t last as long as you’d hoped.

Some of the scents you ordered are actually among our best-sellers, known for their strong, lasting throw - so I’d love to help figure out what might have gone wrong here. Sometimes things like the type of burner or tea lights used can make a big difference to how the scent performs.

If you’re happy to pop me a quick email at info@smithandkennedy.co.uk, I’d be so grateful for the chance to chat further and see if we can get to the bottom of it together. We truly want every experience with our melts to be a beautiful one.

Warmest wishes,
Denise
