I was pleasantly surprised that the Dollar General True Living and FreshWorks wax melts were actually fairly good! Yes, the wax is very soft, and the scent tends to dissipate within 2 or 3 hours. But the price is very good, $2.00 for the True Living and Fresh Works scents, same as Walmart wax, and $3.50 for the duos.

I bought more Dollar General wax melts after I did this review, and my review can be found at http://www.scentedwaxreviews.com/2017/11/dollar-general-wax-melts-reviews-true-living-freshworks.html.

Both FreshWorks and True Living wax melts are manufactured by MVP Group Intl., the same company that makes Mainstays (for Walmart), Colonial Candle, Burt's Bees, Living Colors (for Big Lots), Red Shed (for Tractor Supply), K-mart and Sears brands, and several dollar store brands.


True Living Maple Belgian Waffle
A nice sweet caramel scent with a maple note. Throw was very good, 3 or 3.5 out of 5.

True Living Passion Fruit
This smells like orange but I also detect hints of other fruit notes like grape, raspberry, and tropical fruit. Melted, I think I only smell the orange, and it's a fake orange but not in a bad way; it smells quite nice. Throw was not good, 2 or 2.5 out of 5.

True Living Salted Caramel
On cold sniff, this smells more like chocolate milk to me. But melted, it smells like a rich milky caramel with a milk chocolate note. It's not really a salty caramel though, which is okay, since it smells fantastic. Throw was good, 3 out of 5.

True Living Sea Breeze
This is a fresh watery slightly floral air freshener type scent, and it would be perfect in a bathroom. Even though it's rather generic, it smells very nice, the kind of unobtrusive scent that could be used in any room. Throw was poor, 1 out of 5, and might not even throw well in a tiny bathroom.


True Living Coastal Palm/Fresh Coconut duo

Coastal Palm (green wax)
Fantastic palm scent (palm is a soapy savory waxy scent with a hint of lemon). It's a sweet coconutty tropical fruit green palm scent with a slightly woodsy orangey/citrusy soapy note. Very nice! Throw was excellent, 4 out of 5, and it lasted all day, at least 8 hours!

Fresh Coconut (white wax)
A very nice sweet coconut scent, and throw was excellent, 4 out of 5.


FreshWorks Cashmere
A very nice laundry detergent scent with a clean but slightly industrial note, but in a good way. It smells like a laundromat, but it's not a harsh biting detergent scent. It's sweet and a bit soapy, and I detect very faint notes of orange and baby powder. I really like this one. Throw was very good, 3 or 3.5 out of 5.

Freshworks Lavender
A nice lavender scent with a fake note, almost like a lavender scented industrial or bathroom cleaner, but not like Fabuloso, which is a totally different scent. This has a biting note, kind of like Pine-Sol or an industrial lemon cleaner note. But I actually like this scent; it smells clean. Throw was good, 3 out of 5, but scent dissipated within an hour.

FreshWorks Waterfall
I really like this scent. It's fresh and watery and a little floral, but a completely different scent from the True Living Sea Breeze. This scent also has a bit of warmth, and I smell a hint of vanilla and maybe a smidgen of pepper. It's very unique. Surprisingly, throw was very good, 3 or 3.5 out of 5.
