Scentsationals Pine and Sweet Mint Wax Melt Review
Pine and Sweet Mint by Scentsationals had me fooled for a minute. Cold throw? I was ready to crown it the “Christmas Tree of the Year” before I even got home. Hot throw? We need to sit down and talk.
This bar smells like the best kind of nostalgia when you crack open the clamshell. Think: your dad dragging home a giant Douglas Fir in the 80's and the whole house smelling like a fresh forest for three straight weeks. It is pine needles, winter air, and holiday magic all rolled into one... at least on cold sniff.
On warm, it turns into a softer, sweeter pine with a little mint sparkle. Not weak — just gentler than the drama it promised. Let’s break it down.
- Brand: Scentsationals
- Price: $2.22
- Scent Notes: Frosted peppermint, evergreen pine, fir balsam, spruce, vanilla bean, cedarwood
What You Need To Know Up Front
- Cold throw: Absolute 10 out of 10 Christmas nostalgia
- Hot throw: A cozy 6 to 6.5 out of 10
- Perfect for: Pine lovers who want a sweet, wintery twist
Why This Ended Up In My Cart
I opened the clamshell in the aisle like a menace and instantly thought, “Oh this is THE ONE.” It smelled like Christmas morning, frosted pine needles, cold winter air, and candy canes but make it classy. Straight into the cart.
How It Actually Performs
Once warmed, it mellowed out. Still good — just softer. The mint adds a fresh sparkle, the pine warms up, and the balsam note gives that classic Christmas tree feel without going sharp or harsh.
- Strength: 6 to 6.5 out of 10
- Throw: Best in small to medium rooms
- Longevity: Around 5 to 6 hours
If you want a melt that punches like a real tree in your living room? Not this one. But if you want a cozy winter vibe with gentle pine vibes? She’s cute.
Quick Pros And Cons
- Pros: Great cold throw, sweet mint twist, perfect holiday vibe
- Cons: Softer hot throw, not a powerhouse, pine lovers may want more intensity
How I Use Mine
I like it for mornings, quiet evenings, or when I want a holiday scent without feeling like I’m being smacked in the face by a Christmas tree. It’s a perfect mixer too — throw it in with vanilla, cedar, or any straight pine scent and watch the magic happen.
Is This One Worth Trying?
Yes — with expectations in check. I will buy more because I like having it on standby and it mixes beautifully. But do I have a holy-grail Christmas tree scent that I hoard and protect like it’s classified information? Absolutely.
- You’ll love it if you enjoy sweet pine or softer holiday scents
- You might skip if you need a strong, loud Christmas tree melt
