Bahama Momma

The Bahama Mama Wax Melt—for when you can’t afford a $1,200 flights-plus-resort package, but you can afford to spend $.99 to make your living room smell like a spilled tropical cocktail on an overpriced cruise ship. Here is what you’re actually melting into your air space: The Scent Notes Top Notes: Pineapple & Maraschino Cherry. It immediately lets your guests know, "I enjoy beach vacations, but mostly the parts involving slushie machines and cheap rum." Heart Notes: Toasted Coconut & Unrefined Sugar. The unmistakable aroma of applying Factor 30 SPF sunscreen directly over a swimsuit while sitting on a plastic lawn chair. Base Notes: The underlying realization that your apartment isn't actually overlooking a turquoise bay; it’s overlooking a parking lot, and you still have to go to work tomorrow. The Verdict: It’s bright, it’s loud, and it smells like a 2:00 PM poolside happy hour where everyone forgot to drink water. Drop one in the warmer, close your eyes, and pretend the low hum of your refrigerator is just the ocean tide rolling in.
