Adventure, wit, and just enough danger to keep you on your toes. Cliffs of Insanity is a fragrance that evokes crashing waves, sharp sea breezes, and the grounding comfort of wood. It’s a scent for anyone who loves stories where love and courage climb impossible heights.
Wax melts provide a flame-free way to enjoy this fragrance. Six cubes of soy wax deliver a moderate throw once warmed, filling your home with a steady stream of ocean-inspired aroma. It’s an easy way to set the mood for cozy nights or spirited storytelling.
Crafted with soy wax and phthalate-free fragrance oils, our melts are vegan and hand-poured in Minneapolis. Cliffs of Insanity wax melts bring adventure, romance, and seaside charm into your daily rituals.
Each item is poured by hand at our Minneapolis shop.
Wax melts are an easy and flame-free way to fill your space with cozy fragrance. To use, simply place one or two wax cubes into the dish of a wax warmer. Turn the warmer on (if electric) or light a tealight underneath (if using a classic ceramic warmer) and allow the wax to melt. As it melts, it will release its scent into the room.
You can enjoy the fragrance for several hours at a time! Just turn off the warmer when you're done, and the wax will solidify, ready for next time.
When the scent has faded, let the wax cool and harden completely, then remove it from the dish. You can pop it out using a spoon or paper towel, or warm it just enough to pour out the liquid. Dispose of the used wax and wipe the warmer clean before adding a fresh cube. Never add water to your warmer, and always follow the safety instructions that come with your device.

The teakwood keeps this scent from being more earthy than sweet.
This is a nice clean scent that we keep in the bathroom, but not exactly what I think of as one of Frostbeard’s signature standouts. I love the title, it definitely drew me in, but I lean more towards the leather bound books, smoky & woodsy scents.
This is one that takes you directly to the beach, but not in a sickly sweet way. It's just the right amount of scent in my opinion. Very summery.
Unlike Iocane powder, this candle has a noticeable fragrance. Perfect for summer (or for dreaming of a vacation), it smells like a pirate’s cove, but in a good way.
This was my first time purchasing Cliffs of Insanity. It smells delicious and gives me a feeling of delight, just like watching the movie!
Inconceivably great fragrance, tropical and ocean-y and adventurous. Perfect color, too.
This is my favorite (so far!) ocean scent from Frostbeard. Definitely on the stronger side, it really lingers in a space in the best way.
This has the perfect blend of fresh and woody scents without becoming overpowering.
A beautiful ocean scent with an intriguing earthy complexity that I can't quite put my finger on, which makes me delightfully bonkers.
This isn't a bad smell, per se, but I can buy a candle that smells like a flower anywhere. This scent doesn't intrigue me.
For “insanity” it’s quite mellow and calming, like a beach house. Wonderful scent, I really enjoy this one
It's been a couple years since I last got this scent but it's just as good as I remember! Definitely recommend getting it if you like oceany scents!
Lovely hint of salty sea aromas and a great punchy teal color that looks amazing on my coffee table
So glad I tried this scent. I am not big on wood smells (except bonfires), but this is a beautiful soft scent and reminds me of sitting oceanside!
He really enjoyed getting this candle. Love the princess bride !
This has a nice, fresh scent. Very refreshing!
Fantastic scent
Last forever and smells so fresh!
The scent of this candle is so refreshing and clean. Definitely makes me think of climbing impossible seaside cliffs.
This scent reminded me of being on a boardwalk or a beachside shop. I do not think that this is the most unique smell, but it managed to be summery without becoming overpowering. I ended up ordering two: one for myself and one for my mother who loves both the beach and The Princess Bride.
Okay scent but not for me
Nice clean fresh scent that doesn't make me think of soap or laundry. Decent throw but could be stronger. All in all enjoyable.
I'm not usually a fan of 'beach/ocean' scents but the wood notes in this add a little spicy/musk that is perfect balance with the fresh mist notes. Wouldn't mind it being even stronger.
This candle is incredibly pleasant. I bought it just for the title, but it makes the house smell clean and comfortable.
I giggle when I see the title of this, but in all seriousness, this is a great beachy scent. I usually find summer scents too cloying but this one is pleasant and I have given it as a gift!
Nice and clean with hints of the ocean. Lovely.
Warm summer scent. I will be purchasing another next year!
I love the scent, I use it as my version of a mood ring. If I’m burning it, work is crazy.
This candle is my perfect summer in a jar! For anyone who has read 'The Night Circus', this candle is the actual embodiment of the room where you smell jars and it brings back memories. It's a perfect day at the beach.
This is a nice fresh scent for summer. Would be a good candle for the bathroom.
The perfect summer scent. Reminiscent of the ocean, crisp and clean without overpowering. And the color makes it almost too pretty to burn.
