I'm really picky and typically sensitive to most fragrances, but decided to get back into wax melts again vs. candles or sprays due to severe allergies and trying not to aggravate my system more. I'm very into foody scents (i.e. Yankee Candle buttercream [old version], etc.) more so than floral or fresh. I usually have a hard time finding ones that not only smell authentic but don't give me a headache or have a scent that hardy travels. However, if it literally smells like I just expertly baked something, despite never baking anything, I'm all over it.I decided to give Scentsy a try in the Blueberry Cheesecake, and now I get all of the fuss over the brand. It smells 100% legit and carries throughout the house, including upstairs, but doesn't smell synthetic and isn't so overwhelming that it gives me headaches. In fact, it smells even better at a short distance away rather than directly in the same room, where tart blueberry (almost grape-y) is usually more dominant. From a distance, I get more cheesecake and then hot blueberry, smelling more like the un-melted version.Sitting here in the living room, with a fresh cube melting in the kitchen and a fresh cup of coffee bringing me back to life, I'm getting a generous whiff of hot, sugared blueberries and a slight hint of crust before it casually morphs to sweetened cream and tender NY cheesecake. I love the way it kind of switches back and forth, from creamy to fruity to both, keeping my nose's interest piqued lol. I actually sigh, occasionally feel my eyes roll back, and slip into that cozy state of mind, especially with a fresh cube. Perfect for a chilly and drizzly Spring morning. Even the Man Unit, who frequently and oddly identifies everything on the planet to smelling like cat pee or merely scrunches his face in dramatic disgust, likes it.I find that the scent doesn't quite last more than a day and half, maybe two, melting most of the day-- for me, anyway, and with consistent use and a Glade warmer. After that, it's there for another day or so, but slightly changes and is very subtle, to where I only detect it if I go outside or step away upstairs for a bit and come back. I do, however, like how I can subtly smell it in the kitchen, even when it's not warming.While it's not a scent I'd use every single day, 365, it's definitely something I plan to use fairly regularly, especially when it's a bit cooler. I may try a different warmer to see if that helps with longevity.
