I did get the stronger throws from smaller rooms (bedroom and bathroom) and the medium-strong ones from larger areas, but they were strong type smells anyway. I haven't really melted something that would have the lean to be lighter. I will start melting the rest after Christmas to really get a better feel over all. Hoping the rest melt good! That one you gave me was excellent in my bedroom! <3TheRedolentMermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025330454820306972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-32869044649050983832016-12-13T14:18:51.520-05:002016-12-13T14:18:51.520-05:00Oops, I missed that!

I loved the one you scent me. Reminded me of a spiced wine a little. Very cozy and yummy. Had a great throw! Thank you so much for sharing it with me! I mentioned in the first few scents up top that I got a medium-strong to strong throw on the few I have melted. No light ones yet. I will definitely be ordering from Bonjour Wax Co in the new year.

Bonjour was actually recommended to me by a friend who I've turned into a waxie:) I had the same worries about the palm wax, so thank you for addressing that. I'm willing to pay slightly more for quality, although I think her samplers provide a better value than the a la carte items. They are too clever and fun, also cohesion between themes and scents should be a wax law. Godric's Hollow was almost enough of a reason alone to get this one, but I restrained myself, bc I had just gotten her Bromance sampler last month. I love it and hope you enjoy the melt I sent from Bonjour.<br />PS. How has the throw been on those you've tried?Jaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849863681125100236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-80659343166017737472016-12-11T19:33:55.348-05:002016-12-11T19:33:55.348-05:00I would absolutely buy a few just to try.

The palm wax was really easy to get out of the dish after it solidified too. Popped right out. I am a sucker for geeky wax.

I saw some pictures today of everybody on set, the kids riding around on bikes, Hopper looking all hot and damaged and sweaty, and I yelped out loud in delight. :) But I'm trying to remain cautious, too - I loved the first season so much, I'm not sure anything is going to live up to that. Really, though, I thought it was so perfectly self-contained, I'd also be cool with just the one season. My feelings on the subject are clearly complicated!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-16425831067724719652016-12-09T11:56:27.815-05:002016-12-09T11:56:27.815-05:00LOL - Don't let it happen again.

I think the Stars Hollow and Potter samplers are sold out but she does have others in stock. I have never really watched Gilmore Girls though. Only a few episodes here and there. But hey. Since you are watching Potter now.... maybe I should watch Gilmore Girls.

Too bad that vendor never followed through. That is not a good start to building a customer base. <br /><br />I agree. It is hard when the names don't match the scent. Especially if there is a signature scents or food the person likes and it is talked/wrote about. Ah! The Titanic sampler than was a Titanic disappointment and totally my fault!!!

The owner of whatever shop it was said she would send me replacement scents in non-palm, but never did. *sigh*<br /><br />I like pop culture in wax if the scents actually fit the thing they're named after. You know, like if you have one called Edward Cullen it probably shouldn't smell like flowers. Or pretty much that whole Titanic themed set that I got earlier this year. *rolls eyes*<br /><br />~DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658958620972494748noreply@blogger.com
