Kringle Candle Bakers Vanilla Wax Tart

I bought this, along with the maple sugar wax tart, in a set of 15 from the Kringle candle website. I bought the food/spice version of wax tarts as they are my favourite candle scents - and the scents sound gorgeous such as: hot chocolate scented candle, pancake breakfast, frosted cake!

- Product description (from the Kringle candle website)

"Carefully derived from the oils of the natural bean, these rich, dark undertones and bright, sweet top notes blend together in perfect harmony."

- About the product

I have many of the food and spice wax tarts from Kringle Candle and each one has an image of the scent on the front (as Yankee candle product do). This scent is 'bakers vanilla' and it has an image of flour, vanilla pods and baking tools. The image and the text on the product makes this wax tart look a bit expensive, in my opinion and I think they would make great presents/stocking fillers. The wax tarts are 34g each and you are supposed to be able to get 3-6 uses out of each wax tart/potpourri. There is also a sticker on the bottom of the wax potpourri that has safety information and symbols on such as: keep within sight, keep away from children and keep away from things that can catch fire etc.

- Using the product

First to use this product you need a wax tart/potpourri burner; I bought one from the Kringle Candle website for £4. You have to place the tea light in the burner and place the wax tart in the concave section on the top of the ceramic burner. Light the tea light and the wax tart will slowly start to melt, this melt started to melt at about the same rate as the 'maple sugar' wax tart.

- Scent while melting

You cannot smell the scent of this wax tart through the packaging and I don't have a Kringle Candle store/stockist near me so I didn't know what this wax tart would smell like. But it smells gorgeous; it smells like vanilla (it is not an artificial vanilla scent, it smells really authentic/real) and it also smells like flour and baking. The scent is really nice and it is nice to have a vanilla scented candle that actually smells like real vanilla - as all of the other vanilla candles I have tried (including Primark, Ikea, Yankee candle) have been artificial vanilla scents. Overall, I adore the scent and the scent is not flat or one dimensional as it has flour, baking, sugar (but it is not overly sweet) scents in this wax tart as well as an authentic vanilla scent.

- Longevity

The longevity of these wax tarts are supposed to be around 7 to eight hours I think and from this wax tart I managed to get about seven hours of scent. The scent from the beginning of melting was strong (but definitely not overly strong) and it has been consistent. The scent dispersion is good with this wax tart, the scent travelled around most of the second floor and it remained so for an hour or so. The scent with this wax tart was a little bit more consistent, when compared to the 'maple sugar' scent. When there is not more of the scent released you then have to remove the wax from the top of the burner which can be quite difficult - this is the only major negative point about this product, in my opinion.

- Price and availability

I bought this again as part of a set of 15 wax tarts/potpourri therefore the wax tarts are £1 in this set. Initially the wax tarts are £1.80 each £1.40 each - so the set is a good saving if you want to buy a few of the scents. This scent comes in various forms such as: care air freshener, daylights, tea lights, tea light tube, tumblers, classic apothecary jars, pillar candles and sampler candles.
