My Review…
First Impression…
I’m not unfamiliar with wax melts — my family has one candle warmer, and really enjoyed it. So when I saw that Glade was coming out with their own wax melts, I was really thrilled — I’m a big fan of Glade candles! So I picked one of my favorite scents, Hawaiian Breeze, to put to the test. You already heard be rave about how much I like the Hawaiian Breeze and Vanilla Passion mix in my previous review, so I won’t repeat myself (but go see that review if you haven’t. 🙂
Packaging/Quality…
The packaging for the Glade Wax Melts
is pretty standard for wax melts — at least, all the ones I’ve seen. Each one comes with 8 cubes that are divided into their own separate sections. I always like the way Glade packages their products, and these are no exception. The scent is Hawaiian Breeze so everything about the packaging and label has to do with pineapples and the orange-color of the wax cubes.
Performance…
These melts are very potent! I put one cube in a warmer and lit it in my room…and before long I had to open my door because the scent got so strong! Definitely better if you are in a large, open area for these melts! I don’t see this as a negative, though, as I really like when scents are strong — I just take care to light them in an open area — I can’t stand when I light a candle and can barely detect a scent from it after several minutes. You won’t find that problem with Glade Wax Melts in Hawaiian Breeze!
Major Likes…
The scent! I love the smell of Hawaiian Breeze! But I know this ‘like’ will be different for each person. So, I’d have to say that my biggest like about Glade’s new wax melts are the size of the cubes. They’re really decent sizes and promise you hours and hours of usage before it’s used up!
Major Dislikes…
Hmm…I guess the strong smell might bother some people. For me, personally, it doesn’t, but we each are different. So be aware that these scents are very strong. 🙂
Final Thoughts…
I loved these Glade Wax Melts! And the price is really reasonable — usually selling for around $3 or $4 dollars. I’m not aware of the price of other wax melts, but this seems like an average price that is well worth the amount you get with each one. If you’ve never tried using wax warmers and wax melts in your home, I highly encourage you to start with these!

Kate S (4readin) says
Thanks so much for the review! I have seen these but always wondered how well they work. They seem a little bit expensive to me. Did you find them a good value for the money?
Katie McCurdy says
Kate – They are a couple dollars (I want to say I got them for around $3) but you get 8 cubes. They're all pretty decent sizes and will last a while. So, for me, I consider them worth the money spent.
Kate S (4readin) says
They sound great! But do they really last about 12 hours or if that more of a marketing stretch?
Katie McCurdy says
Kate – I think they do. I haven't recorded the times, but each time I light it, I keep it on for several hours. And I've lit the Glade wax melts several times, and I haven't noticed the smell fading at all, which is great, I think! 🙂
Nancy Larke says
Informative!!!! Glade fragrances are very popular and have a natural aroma all around. Of all the products of this brand I like GLADE Hawaiian Breeze, Aerosol the most and recently I found it at an affordable combo pack at Bonvera. From Candles to Wax Melts they just makes the spaces smell best.
