This is a review of Oak & Rye wax melts Berry Christmas, Coconut Chai, and Peppermint Cake. Oak & Rye wax melts are only available and Kroger, Fred Meyer and affiliated stores.
Berry Christmas
Ripened cranberries, juicy mandarin, and currant mixed with notes of fig and cedarwood
A super fruity scent that smells like a combination of sweet cranberries, plums, and black cherry soda without the fizziness. No spices of any kind. It has just a tiny bit of tartness, but no sour or bitter fermented wine or vinegary notes. I assumed based on the name and label that it was the same as ScentSationals Frosted Cranberry, but it's a totally different scent. Fantastic, sweet and fruity!
Coconut Chai
Freshly shaved coconut flakes toasted with brown sugar and cinnamon spice
Fantastic scent that smells like creamy chai, cinnamon, and coconut, with a little bit of a powdery, slightly perfumey note. It's exquisite!
Peppermint Cake
Vanilla bean sweetens red and white striped peppermint candy canes dusted with powdered sugar
A rich, super sweet scent of peppermint and marshmallowy vanilla with a hint of a buttery bakery note. It's like 70% peppermint, 20% marshmallowy vanilla, and 10% of the buttery bakery note. I love this scent! I wonder if it's the same as Better Homes & Gardens Marshmallow Candy Cane from 2017? I no longer have it to compare. That was was a light pink, while this wax is lighter (white with a tinge of pink). The notes are the same as the new ScentSationals Whipped Peppermint Cream; sniffing them side by side, they're very similar, but this scent has the bakery note that I don't get from Whipped Peppermint Cream. It's not a huge difference, and sometimes different batches of the same scent can smell very slightly different. So it may in fact be the same scent, and it's a similar color (white with a tinge of pink, although not exactly the same).
