    Good bendable wax?

    Wax Melt Scent & Color

    I blend my scents all the time. Those are my most popular scents. I have a Son of a Biscuit, Summer's Essience, Bermuda Triangle and more. It is easy. Once you get the hang of it, it can become addictive. This is what you do. You have to figure out your base scent. That is the most prominent...
