Amazing smelling waxes

Honestly the cutest thing ever! The wax melter is so cute, and the wax melts in the shape of books are so cute I'm not sure i want to melt them! The botanical wax melts it also comes with smell incredible.

I love this idea of having your chosen scent in a melt that you will use because the others are just too gorgeous to use! That bring said, I think these are still really pretty and there is definitely no compromise on scent!
