The scents are very strong; I live in a large studio and it fills the entire apartment with a sweet fragrance. I guess I could see how this sort of smells like Gardenias, but it smells far from the real thing; more like an inexpensive facsimile.

Ultimately the waxes are very inexpensive, and have amazing lasting power. I melt them in an old candle container 24 hours a day (I think I've been burning them for almost a week straight) and the smell has remained as strong as it was when I first dropped the wax in. Great value, and if you're not looking for Diptyque quality scents then this will do just fine.

I buy the same scent mix in candles and this smells just the same, and yes, you can just smell the hint of sage. I have purchased some from another maker that when breaking off the cubes, is easy and does not get all over your fingers or hands. (also soy) This brand stickes to fingers and hands, it is softer, so as of yet, I do not know how long this will last.I thought of putting in frig, but that might make the wax crumble when breaking apart.
I do love the scent, just have to figure out how to keep from being so messy when seperating.

It turned out to be more exceptional that I thought. My significant other has really enjoyed it, since it was for him

Unlike the disappointing results with the Beach Linen melts, the Honeysuckle Jasmine melts definitely have a scent. Some reviews have suggested these bars are a little overpowering, but I didn't find that to be a problem. The only problem is that the scent is short-lived. I have had some products that could be used for several days without any noticeable loss of scent, but these lose their power fairly quickly.
The jasmine honeysuckle scent is true to its name, and just what I hoped for. Our house is a tiny, 1940s rabbit warren... barely 1000 square feet, and walls everywhere that break up air flow. Air fresheners tend to "pool" in the area they are used, ending up too strong in one room, and unnoticeable in others. Not so with these bars. They are strong enough for good coverage without being overpowering. I gave these bars 4 stars rather than 5 for two reasons: first, the scent doesn't last long, and second, the clean-up. I finally decided that the easiest way to clean up the warmer is to heat the wax completely, pour out the liquid, and wipe everything down with soapy water. These melts are greasier than other soy bars I have used, and don't clean up easily. Even so, they get a solid 4 stars because the scent is worth the extra effort when it comes time to change out the wax.

I love these melts. Wish they were a little stronger as they only throw for a while. Still lovely
