I've ordered from Imperial Candles in the past. Imperial Candles are made in the UK and have a surprise of jewellery hidden inside each candle, which is eventually revealed once the candle burns for a little while. The jewellery can be worth ten pounds and up with some of the items being worth a lot more. The company have recently launched a candle melt monthly subscription box, which is called 'MeltyBox', and one of the melts contains a surprise jewellery item. I just missed the first installment in February so had to wait just over a month before I received my first box. My MeltyBox arrived at the end of March.
The box came with a surprise gift of bright pink nail polish by Rimmel. It's not my favourite colour; I'm not a fan of pink, but I am not bothered about it as I only expected to receive the melts.
The MeltyBox came with nine limited edition scented melts with different scents and different colours. Only one of them contains a jewell, and this one is marked (luckily). I had to wait a couple of weeks before burning them as I had to buy a burner for them. It came with a beautiful flower-shaped red ring. The label on the ring claims that the ring is silver and gemstone and worth £85.00, but I have not had it appraised.
Each box also comes with a mystery scent each month. The scents for the March 2016 MeltyBox are listed below.
Chocolate Bunnies: This box contained the appropriately-named 'Chocolate Bunnies' to celebrate Easter, which fell at the end of March at the time when the boxes were shipped. This was also the melty that contained the ring. It's not my favourite scent, but it's one for those who like the smell of chocolate. It reminds me a little bit like the scent when one enters the M&M's World shop in Leicester Square.
Grapefruit Mango: I love the smell of this bright orange melt. I smell more mango than grapefruit, but it does have a slight citrus undertone.
Caribbean Island: This is a candy-scented and bright pink melty, and I'm not at all keen on the smell of this one. I can smell coconut, which I generally do love, but I do not like the combination of scents used to create this 'candy' scent.
Asian Pear & Plum: This melty has a fruity scent, but it also comes across as refreshing floral aroma. I can smell the pears and plums, which I dislike eating/drinking but which do smell delicious.
Rose & Violet: This purple melty has a refreshing floral scent. I cannot really smell rose, but I do smell violet.
Sweet Almond & Macaroon: This almond-scented melt does smell delicious and does remind me of macaroons or marzipan. It has a very sweet smell.
Green Tea & Lemon: This melty smells strongly of citrusy lemon, and I do like the smell of this. It is very refreshing and clean.
Fresh Cotton: I love this fresh laundry and cotton scent.
Mystery: I can smell lime or pineapple. Perhaps this is a cocktail-inspired scent (such as G&T, Cosmopolitan, or a cocktail that has pineapple juice as a main ingredient). It reminds me of a tropical island. (Update: The mystery scent was just published, and it is 'Lemongrass and Kiwi'.)
