Melt Monday: Iced Coffee + Vanilla Cream
Some scents are for slowing down. This one's for the morning you actually get to sit with your coffee instead of drinking it on the way out the door.
Iced Coffee + Vanilla Cream is our first Reserve scent to get the Melt Monday spotlight — and it felt like the right one to start with. Reserve is where we let a scent take its time. This one earns that.
The Wax
Every wax melt we pour starts with the same foundation — a natural, American-made soy wax. No paraffin, no blending agents. Soy wax holds fragrance well, releases it steadily, and melts clean without leaving residue in your warmer. We source ours from right here in the Midwest. Iowa-made product, Iowa-sourced wax. That part matters to us.
The Scent
Top — Roasted Coffee
It opens dark and a little bold, no apology for it. The kind of smell that pulls you toward the kitchen before you've even decided you want a cup.
Middle — Cream
This is where the edges soften. Cream rounds out the coffee without burying it — rich, smooth, the part that makes you want to linger a little longer.
Base — Vanilla, Musk & Sweet
The finish settles in slow and stays there. Vanilla, musk, and a quiet sweetness wrap around the room the way a good cup of coffee lingers in the house long after the mug's empty.
Best Used In
Kitchens, dining rooms, anywhere people gather slow. Iced Coffee + Vanilla Cream works best on quiet mornings and lazy weekends — the hours worth protecting. It throws well in small to medium spaces and feels right any time of year.
Why You'll Love It
If you love a coffee shop the second you walk in but never knew how to bring that feeling home — this is it. Rich without being heavy. Sweet without being sticky. The kind of scent that makes people ask what's cooking, even when nothing is.
Hand-poured in small batches in Iowa. Natural soy wax blend, phthalate-free, paraffin-free.
