Aldi comes out with 4 new wax melt scents 3 times a year: January, March/April, and September/October. The wax melts are made by Hanna's Candle and are very good quality. They cost $1.69 each. They should be at all Aldi stores this week, probably by Wednesday, January 17. Once they show up at the Aldi store, they stay on the shelves until they're sold out, which can happen within 2 to 4 weeks. Old scents do not return, so if you like these, don't wait!

Fresh Cotton Blossom

I've smelled this scent before. It's a nice sweet laundry detergent scent with a little bit of a biting laundry note, but not as much as Better Homes & Gardens Line Dried Linen. And it's not a soft powdery fabric softener scent either. It doesn't smell soapy, and it's sweeter than other similar scents I've smelled with a little bit more of a floral note, although it's not really perfumey either. Hard to describe! It's NOT the same scent as Hanna's Candle's Fresh Cotton Blossom scent. The scent lasted the entire day and was still going strong when I changed it out; I think it could have gone for 2 days!

Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5, a scent monster that took over the house.

Lavender & Thyme

Notes: A beautiful aroma of lavender, jasmine flowers, and rose petals blended with the sultry notes of sandalwood and musk

This is an authentic lavender scent. It has a hint of sweetness, but it's not a sweet, powdery lavender scent. I don't smell thyme, but there may be a hint of eucalyptus, and it does have a little bit of a medicinal note, but not overwhelming. It's a perfect lavender scent. If you prefer a sweeter lavender, mix it with a floral, perfumey, or vanilla scent. If you like spa lavender, mix it with lemon. Looking at the scent notes, I don't smell jasmine, rose or musk. I believe this is the same scent as Hanna's Candle's Lavender Thyme (not confirmed by Hanna's) at https://candlemart.com/products/aromabeads-singles-lavender-thyme-scented-wax-melts.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

Peony & Rose Bouquet

Notes: This fresh floral fragrance blends notes of pink peony, rose, orange flower and blushing hibiscus with effervescent citrus and berry nuances; warm woods and musk provide a perfect warming finish.

This smells like old soap, which sometimes smells quite good. But it's very bitter and fake and smells kind of "burnt" to me. It doesn't smell like peony or rose to me at all. However, I think I'm in the minority, since most people love this scent. Looking at the scent notes, it might be the effervescent citrus that gives it the bitter note, although I don't smell any fizziness or citrus at all. This is the same scent as Hanna's Candle's Peony & Rose Bouquet (not confirmed by Hanna's) at https://candlemart.com/search?q=peony+%26+rose+bouquet.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

South Seas

A nice kind of sweet watery scent with a hint of warmth and maybe a bit of a perfumey note (musk?) and perhaps a smidgen of vanilla. It smells almost exactly like Mainstays Peaceful Waters (from Walmart), and it may in fact be the same scent, but I don't think so. It's actually quite different from any scent I've smelled in a wax melt, and I like unique scents. This is the same scent as Hanna's Candle's South Seas (not confirmed by Hanna's) at https://candlemart.com/products/south-seas-scented-wax-melts.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5
