From the moment you break open the package, Vanilla Embers delivers a rich and layered fragrance profile. According to the product description, it opens with top notes of pimento, dried fruits and smoky tobacco leaf; middle notes of saffron, clove and cedarwood; and then base notes of patchouli, oakwood and creamy vanilla.  In practice, it feels like stepping into a warm lounge space: the spice and woodiness give that “ember-glow” effect, while the vanilla saves it from feeling too heavy or forbidding.

In use, I found it works best when you follow the recommended amount: the brand suggests breaking out two cubes and placing them on a wax melter dish, giving 12–18 hours of fragrance.  Because the scent has quite a deep base of wood and tobacco-leaf smoke, starting with the correct quantity is wise — overdoing it could dominate a small space.

What I liked:
• The combination of smoky, woody and sweet elements gives it character. It isn’t just “vanilla” in the flattest sense; you get more complexity.
• Good for cooler evenings or autumn/winter use: the warmth in the scent makes it feel inviting rather than clinical.
• It seems to be well suited to living rooms or reading corners where you want subtle ambience rather than loud freshness.

Things to note / possible drawbacks:
• For rooms with very light traffic or very large volumes, the fragrance might remain subtle — the wood + tobacco notes are grounded rather than bright.
• If you dislike smoky or tobacco-leaf notes, this may not suit you; while the vanilla softens things, the base remains slightly “smoky lounge” rather than pure dessert-vanilla.
• Because it’s quite layered, it might clash with other strong scents (e.g., citrus or heavy floral) if used simultaneously.

Verdict: If you’re after a wax melt that moves beyond the typical “vanilla” scent into something richer and a bit more atmospheric, Vanilla Embers is a very worthwhile pick. I’d especially recommend it for evenings when you want a bit of depth in your home fragrance — cosy but refined. For lighter, airy spaces (e.g., bathrooms or very sunny rooms) you might prefer something fresher instead.

Very happy 👍

Absolutely fantastic melts, my husband where’s this aftershave and these melts just filled the room with the same scent… I used 4hr burn tealights and actually burnt the same wax melt 3 times before the scent was lost - so really pleased

Amazing.

Love them and the smell is amazing.

Love the wax melt, smell fantastic.

This is my favourite scent and these wax melts are better than any others I’ve tried. With my latest order I got a lovely handwritten note saying there was a free sample promo about to start and this was included with my order so I didn’t miss out. Lovely touch ❤️
