Darkest Sandalwood (Mainstays)

So yes, I was brave and tried another of the Mainstays wax cubes that I picked up.  This one, Darkest Sandalwood, was a pleasant surprise.  The wax was pretty firm in the package, the whole block popped out and broke into sections fairly easily.  I did wear the plastic gloves that you get to do hair coloring but I didn't see or smell anything on the gloves after putting the wax into the warmer.

The scent is subtle and weak when melted but gets stronger after it cools and hardens.  It's another scent that seems natural rather than out of place.  Don't expect this to mask any other smells or odors, though.  I'm not sure why this is called "Darkest Sandalwood" or how it differs from Mainstays "White Sandalwood" (which I have not tried yet).  This one is very smooth but, dare I say, boring.  It just stays in the background of any other scents that might be in the vicinity such as cooking food, flowers, etc.  Since the cubes are so small, this could be good mixed with some other scent.

The scent lasted about as long as any other Mainstays was cubes, and cleanup wasn't too bad.  Just a little residue was left behind and that was easy to wipe out with a paper towel.
