❤️ English Pear & Freesia - our version of the popular ladies perfume. A fragrance with fresh top notes of bergamot, lemon and pear. Soft notes of magnolia, orchid, rose and Muguet creates the soft heart, followed by a base of musks, dry amber and a touch of patchouli.
❤️ Red Berry Kiss - a sparkling opening of crisp apple, fresh green leaf, and zesty lemon sets a refreshing and uplifting tone, like the first toast of the evening. At its heart, a luscious blend of cranberry, grape, peach, rose, and strawberry unfolds, filling the air with juicy sweetness and warmth. Finally, a rich base of musk and fruity accords lingers long into the night, creating a fun yet intoxicating aroma that feels both opulent and inviting.
❤️ Velvet Rose - A luxurious blend of blooming roses layered with juicy damson plum and blackcurrant, Velvet Rose is rich, romantic, and irresistibly smooth. Be transported to flowering Arabian rose gardens on a bright summer day, where fruity and floral aromas entwine effortlessly with a delicate touch of spice.

Let customers speak for us
A really pretty, fresh and light scent, just right for a warm day. I can see this being melted all year round though. I struggle with perfume scents but Angelic Scents products are convincing me otherwise. This is a pretty floral with a hit of pear. Lovely.
I’m usually reluctant to try perfume scents but I’m branching out a bit. I’m glad I did. There is a good strength of scent in this wax and it’s filling the room on one piece. And yes, it’s a good likeness of the scent it’s based on. I’ve got some Pear & Freesia to try next so looking forward to that now too!
Bought this for my bedroom and smells exotic and expensive, though it's not overpowering. I absolutely love this scent.
Always fast delivery, beautifully packaged, Lovely fresh strong scents (but not overpowering) that last nicely.. I always get compliments on how my house smells when melting my waxes from angelic scents! Love a delivery day!
Lovely wax melts well worth the money
Smell on the cherry 🍒 amaretto is stunning. 👍
Lovely fragrance just like a certain brand of baby powder and my babies when I would bathe them and wrap them in a towel the fragrance scents the flat right the way through and it’s definitely my favourite wax melt.
The blueberry with a hint of vanilla is a great fragrance it’s nice and mellow but you can smell it in every room,i love it and hope it’s not discontinued as I would use it all year round.
I use Caring Freshness in my plug in warmer at work, it floats down the corridor and everybody loves it. Strong smelling with a luscious clean scent it’s definitely one of my faves.
A lovely mix of scents, some individual and some bars. As always they all smell divine and arrived beautifully wrapped.
I love the fragrance of this Rhubarb and custard wax bar. Fruity and delicious smell
Absolutely love this. I sprinkled some into the carpet, waited 5 minutes, then vacuumed. Everything smelled lovely and fresh, and lasted a good while too.
Amazing, long lasting scent, not overpowering at all. Fantastic, prompt delivery and wonderfully presented. These make ideal gifts.
