Narrative:

Strong smell of melted wax that began in the descent of our flight. Flight attendant 2 expressed she had intense pressure in her ears and a headache and said it was better once we landed. I asked if she wanted to go to urgent care and and she declined. Pilots said it could just be the atmosphere. No visible smoke in the cabin. Other flight attendants I spoke to about this event have reported the same smell on the A319. This was my first time encountering the smell on this type of aircraft and I should mention I was on this same tail number for 3 flights total that day and only smelled the reported information above on the final flight of the day.
