Video

This is a review of most of the new Walmart Better Homes & Gardens scented wax melts Fall 2018 scents, Part 2 of 2. I couldn't find these scents at Walmart when I did the first review (https://www.scentedwaxmeltreviews.com/2018/09/better-homes-gardens-wax-melts-reviews-fall-2018-1.html).

I also added Woodland Forest Floor duo (not pictured or in the video) on October 19, since I didn't find it at Walmart until after I did this review. See review below.

Aloha Pineapple Pumpkin

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-2-5-oz-Aloha-Pineapple-Pumpkin-Scented-Wax-Melts/520138578

Notes: A juicy blend of sweet pear, fragrant apple and hints of citrus with warm notes of cinnamon spiced pumpkin, crushed all-spice, brown sugar and sweet amber completed with a touch of juicy pineapple

This is a pineapple scent. On cold sniff I also detect a smidgen of some kind of spice, and although it's kind of sweet, it's also very slightly salty. And there might be a barely detectable smidgen of musk in the background. Melted though, I don't smell spices, and it just smells like fake unsweetened pineapple. I'm not a fan of pineapple, so I didn't like this one. Looking at the notes, I don't smell pear, apple, or citrus.

Throw: Medium, 3.5 out of 5

Chilled Pomegranate Wine

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-2-5-oz-Chilled-Pomegranate-Wine-Scented-Wax-Melts/300135378

Notes: Late-harvest cherries, juicy cranberries and sweet ripened pomegranate fruit, stirred with citrus lemon, tart orange, pure cane sugar and spiked white wine to create a fun, festive, autumn sangria

This smells like a rich sweet raspberry with a hint of vanilla buttercream, but there's also another juicy berry note in the background, maybe cranberry. I don't smell lemon or orange at all, or any wine notes (which usually have a sour fermentation note that I don't like). Fantastic scent! It's a dupe of an older scent, perhaps Better Homes & Gardens Cranberry Apple Martini from 2015.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

Dark Midnight Skies

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-2-5-oz-Dark-Midnight-Skies-Scented-Wax-Melts/750498958

Notes: A captivating aromatic woody blend with petitgrain, cardamom, lemon, orange and fir with a heart of jasmine, rosemary and rose, with a warming base of vetiver, musk, oak moss and Brazilian rosewood.

A nice, fresh, slightly herbal men's cologne scent or body wash with a hint of soapiness. It smells similar to Cool Water cologne, as well as a lot of other men's cologne type wax melts. I believe it's a dupe of an older ScentSationals men's cologne scent, but I don't remember which one (not ScentSationals Illusion, which is similar but not the same). I like it.

Throw: Medium, 3.5 out of 5

Mahogany & Sandalwood

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-2-5-oz-Mahogany-and-Sandalwood-Scented-Wax-Melts/150677523

Notes: Warm mahogany, aromatic birch wood, crisp juniper berry and fresh green balsam shimmer with fragrant herbs, touches of sparkling citrus, and smooth ambered sandalwood, all wrapped around sage and sweet moss

A warm, woodsy, smoky cologne scent with a smidgen of spruce. Fantastic! Looking at the notes, the spruce I smell is probably the juniper and balsam. I don't smell citrus at all. It's very rich, sweet and smoky, and even a little salty. I love this scent, and it lasted for 16 hours (probably would have gone longer if I hadn't removed it).

Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5

Spiced Vanilla Embers

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-2-5-oz-Spiced-Vanilla-Embers-Scented-Wax-Melts/823625746

Notes: Creamy vanilla, smoked spicy cinnamon, a hint of rich nutmeg and warm incense, sweet clove bud and white jasmine, with warming notes of sandalwood and black musk

A fantastic milky sandalwood with a smoky marshmallow note, sweet tobacco, a hint of patchouli and vanilla, and a smidgen of cinnamon. It also has just a tiny bit of a warm ambery perfumey note, although it's not a perfume or cologne scent. Looking at the notes, it might be the combination of clove and jasmine that I think is sweet tobacco. The scent lasted for 16 hours and probably would have gone longer if I hadn't removed it.

Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5

Woodland Forest Floor duo

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-2-5-oz-Woodland-Forest-Floor-Duo-Scented-Wax-Melts/876500613

Notes: One side features Fallen Leaves and is a blend of orchard leaves wrapped around a blend of McIntosh apple, fresh rosemary, lavender, oakmoss and smoked vetiver, with creamy amber and autumn woods for comfort. The other side features Green Moss and is a blend of oakmoss, amber and patchouli, infused with a mix of ivy, bergamot, pine, geranium, jasmine and birch to round out the refreshing fragrance.

Green Moss: I have no idea what I'm smelling. It's slightly sweet with maybe a cologne and patchouli, and maybe a hint of herbs in the background. It has a smidgen of a mildewy or moldy note. Kind of boring, not really a fan. And the throw was very mild, around a 2 out of 5.

Fallen Leaves: This smells a lot like Better Homes & Gardens Pumpkin Apple Muffins (a super rich buttery salty caramel corn scent), but it's not the same. This scent is not quite as salty and has an apple note as well as a smidgen of a woodsy note. It smells a lot more like Pumpkin Apple Muffins when melted than it does on cold sniff though. Looking at the scent notes, I don't smell most of those notes, really just the apple and woods, and maybe a little of the creamy amber. I really like it, but after 2 hours it started morphing into something kind of bland, waxy and annoying. Throw is strong, 4 out of 5.

I still have not found Warm Velvet Pomegranate (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-2-5-oz-Warm-Velvet-Pomegranate-Scented-Wax-Melts-4-Pack/960776465) or Woodland Forest Floor duo (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-2-5-oz-Woodland-Forest-Floor-Duo-Scented-Wax-Melts/876500613), both of which have already shown up at some Walmarts. But if and when I get them, I will add them to this review.

Tuscany Candle Wax Melts Reviews - Fall 2018

Tuscany Candle Wax Melts Reviews - Fall 2018

Click to enlarge

Videos

I bought these new Tuscany Candle Fall 2018 Limited Edition wax melts at Wegman's food store, but a couple of other stores carry them, including Menards and Kroger (but not Walmart, although Walmart may have a couple of Tuscany Candle Halloween scents).

When I reviewed the first three Tuscany Candle Fall 2018 scents, Wegman's only had those three. When I went back, I found the rest of them! Which is why I have two videos and two photos instead of one!

Apple Cider Donut

A nice yummy scent that smells more like gingerbread than a donut. Although there might be a hint of apple in it but I'm not sure if that's because I'm expecting it to be there.

Throw: 0 out of 5

Autumn Apple

Fantastic authentic crisp apple scent, like standing in the middle of an apple orchard. The most realistic apple scent I think I've ever smelled! I don't detect any other notes like cinnamon or caramel.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

Autumn Mums

I adore this scent! It definitely doesn't smell like chrysanthemums though (which really don't have much of a scent). It's a sweet perfumey scent with a warm cashmere or amber note and rich vanilla that makes it smell yummy even though it's not a foodie scent. It may also have a barely noticeable smidgen of fruit like plum or blackberry.

Throw: Mild, 3 out of 5

Autumn Wreath

This smells almost exactly like Better Homes & Gardens Pure White Woods, and a little bit like ScentSationals Vanilla Woods. It's not really a fall scent. It smells like an expensive furniture store. I definitely smell the wood, but it's also sweet although not in a perfumey way. It's not a patchouli or tobacco or cologne type scent either. It's a fantastic scent.

Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5

Cranberry & Orange

Cranberry & Pine would have been a better name, because that's what this smells like. I don't smell orange at all. I like this scent, nice and Christmasy.

Throw: Medium, 3.5 out of 5

Fall Festival

I think Fall Festival and Falling Leaves are the same scent, just a basic pumpkin pie scent.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

Falling Leaves

I think Fall Festival and Falling Leaves are the same scent, just a basic pumpkin pie scent.

Throw: Mild, 3 out of 5

Farmhouse Kitchen

I expected a spicy scent based on the name, but there's nothing kitcheny about this scent. It smells like sweet raspberry and grape juice! It's a nice scent though, and I like it.

Throw: Mild, 2.5 out of 5

Harvest Cider

A fake apple cider scent, but I like it. It smells like apple potpourri.

Throw: Mild, 3 out of 5

Harvest Hayride

This is a weird scent and I can't figure out the notes. It's kind of pumpkiny with maybe an old apple or apple cider note, but there's a strong earthy aromatic slightly savory spice of some kind that's taking over, with maybe a bit of ginger or even sage. It smells like an old Better Homes & Gardens scent called Enchanted Pumpkin Valley, and a Yankee Candle Home Inspirations scent from Walmart from September 2017 called Beautiful Fall Pumpkins.

Throw: Mild, 3 out of 5

Pumpkin Apple

This smells similar to Fall Festival and Falling Leaves in that it's a pumpkin pie scent. But on cold sniff I do smell a little bit of apple cider in the background. I like this one! It's a completely different type of scent from Better Homes & Gardens Farm Apple Pumpkin from Walmart. Melted, I don't smell the apple note and it's just another pumpkin pie scent.

Throw: Mild, 3 out of 5

Pumpkin Spice

I expected this to be a pumpkin pie scent, but it's really not, and that's a good thing. I do smell pumpkin spices first, but with a super sweet rich vanilla marshmallow note. I love this one!

Throw: 1 out of 5

Spiced Pear

This doesn't smell like pear at all. It smells like a super salty pretzel with maybe a hint of caramel and a barely detectable smidgen of apple. I've smelled this before. Wait, this is the same scent as ScentSationals Pumpkin Apple Muffins. Sniffing them side by side, I really can't tell the difference.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 to 4 out of 5

Sunflower Fields

This smells almost exactly like Autumn Mums. And it doesn't smell like sunflowers (which don't have much of a scent). I love them both. Side by side, Sunflower Fields is slightly sweeter, richer and more perfumey, so I like that one a little more.

Throw: Mild, 3 out of 5

Aldi Wax Melts Reviews - Fall 2018

Aldi Wax Melts Reviews - Fall 2018

Click to enlarge

Video

Aldi wax melts (Huntington Home brand) are made by Hanna's Candle. Aldi comes out with 4 scents three times a year (Spring, Summer and Fall… no Winter). The wax melts are very good quality because they're made by Hanna's!

Fall Nights

I thought this was the same scent as Hanna's Candle's Ember Glow (notes for Ember Glow are spiced wood, juniper, cinnamon, patchouli and vanilla), but now I'm not so sure. Like Ember Glow, it's a raw wood scent like pencil shavings, with leather, maybe oud wood, and possibly a smidgen of patchouli and sweet vanilla. Strangely, leather is not in the scent notes, and I don't smell any juniper/pine or cinnamon notes. Smelling Fall Nights and Ember Glow side by side, if they're not exactly the same scent, they're very close. Ember Glow is slightly more "intense", with the oud note that might be missing in Fall Nights (oud is a deep resinous tree sappy woodsy scent). Fantastic scent, and I think it's the best of the 4 new Aldi scents.

Throw: Mild, 3 out of 5

Maple Pumpkin

This smells like pumpkin pie, but slightly richer and sweeter, with a slight maple note and maybe even a smidgen of walnuts. Although when melted, it's really just a pumpkin pie scent, but a good one. It's not the same scent as Pumpkin Brulee from last year. I also don't think it's the same scent as Maple Pumpkin from September 2016 (https://www.scentedwaxmeltreviews.com/2016/09/aldi-huntington-home-scented-wax-melts-fall-2016.html), as I described that as more of an apple cider scent.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

Plumberry

I thought this might be the same scent as Tuscan Vineyard from January 2017, which I described as grape juice or cheap wine with a waxy vinyl note. This is not the same scent. It does smell like grapes, but there's another fruit in there which may indeed be plum. It does not have a waxy or vinyl note either. I'm not a fan of grape scents, but I kind of like this one as it's unique and different from the usual fall type scents.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

Warm Apple Pie

Notes: A warm blend of fresh-picked apples, dashed with spicy accents of warm nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, and allspice over a base of brown sugar and vanilla cream

A fake apple scent that smells a little like apple potpourri, rather than apple pie. It also has a smidgen of tartness that makes it smell a little like apple cider. Even though it's fake, it smells kind of nice. I believe it's the same scent as Warm Apple Pie from last year (https://www.scentedwaxmeltreviews.com/2017/10/aldi-wax-melts-reviews-fall-2017-huntington-home.html).
And I also believe it's the same as Hanna's Candle's Warm Apple Pie scent (not confirmed by Hanna's Candle), which can be found at http://www.candlemart.com.

Throw: Medium, 3.5 out of 5

Better Homes & Gardens (Walmart) Wax Melts - Fall 2018

Click to enlarge

Video

This is a review of most of the new Walmart Better Homes & Gardens scented wax melts Fall 2018 scents. At the time of this review, not all of the new scents had arrived at my Walmart, so this is Part 1 of 2. Part 2 can be found at https://www.scentedwaxmeltreviews.com/2018/09/better-homes-gardens-wax-melts-reviews-fall-2018-2.html.

Apple Cookie Crunch

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-2-5-oz-Apple-Cookie-Crunch-Scented-Wax-Melts/927982896

Notes: Oatmeal and red apple mixed with warm all spice, grated nutmeg, aromatic cinnamon stick, crushed clove, brown sugar, warm butter and pure vanilla

This is a tart but authentic bakery apple scent, like a green Granny Smith apple turnover. I think I detect a hint of walnut, which can also be bitter. Looking at the scent notes, I do detect a little cinnamon, but no nutmeg or clove. Not sure about the oatmeal. I'm not a fan of this one because although it's a little sweet, I don't care for the tartness. Melted it smells better to me though, still a bit tart but not as much as on cold sniff.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

Apple Crisp Tea

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-2-5-oz-Apple-Crisp-Tea-Scented-Wax-Melts/875815206

Notes: Crisp apple and black tea leaves create a warming and comforting sensation while a touch of cinnamon adds dimension. Sweet accords of fresh pear and apple blossoms infuse the heart and lead into a comforting base of amber, vanilla and sheer musk

Based on the name I thought this was going to be just another apple bakery scent, but it's not. It's quite different from other apple scents I've smelled. It smells like an authentic fresh crisp apple with a floral or even slightly soapy note, but not really perfumey either. It's not the same as the old Better Homes & Gardens Apple Blossom Freesia scent at all. When melted, I guess there is something there that could be considered a tea note, but if I didn't know it was there I wouldn't detect it. I really like this scent.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

Caramel Bread Pudding

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-2-5-oz-Caramel-Bread-Pudding-Scented-Wax-Melts/834518260

Notes: Caramel drizzled over homemade bread and warm butter. Vanilla pudding is blended into the batter. Fresh-baked bread is topped off with grated nutmeg, sweet cinnamon and a hint of dark vanilla essence then sprinkled with brown sugar.

I really like this yummy scent! I smell sweet caramel and rich vanilla, with a smidgen of cinnamon and maybe brown sugar. It's not a salted caramel. I don't really smell bready or buttery notes, but if it's there it's very subtle. Looking at the scent notes, they're accurate!

Throw: Strong, 3.5 or 4 out of 5

First Woodland Frost

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-2-5-oz-First-Woodland-Frost-Scented-Wax-Melts/425326068

Notes: Sparkling ozone shimmers with sun-sweetened Bosc pear and touches of golden apple resting upon the aquatic freshness of spearmint, garden mint leaves and soft pear blossom

Ooh, this is a yummy sweet rich sugary pear syrup scent with a warm perfumey note and maybe a fresh ozonic note in the background that keeps it from being too perfumey. There might be just a barely detectable smidgen of mint way in the background that gives this a crisp wintery feel. And I think there might be a hint of green apple that gives it just a smidgen of sourness, but not nearly enough to be annoying. Melted, it's a very rich scent with almost a caramel note, although it's not really a foodie scent. Looking at the scent notes, they're spot on. This is a fantastic scent that I think is going to be a best seller.

The new ScentSationals Celebration Time is also pear-based, but it's a completely different scent. With Celebration Time, the pear is much more subtle and it has more of a sweet warm cashmere perfumey note. First Woodland Frost is definitely pear first, and it also has that ozonic and slightly minty note.

Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5

Golden Sunlit Woods

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-2-5-oz-Golden-Sunlit-Woods-Scented-Wax-Melts/801688205

Notes: Blending white woods, vanilla and warm musk with crisp accents of mandarin, cardamom and golden apple create this captivating scent. Blooming floral heart of jasmine blossoms, freesia, cyclamen and cedar leaf adds tranquility.

A nice sweet warm ambery perfumey scent with rich vanilla, a little bit of a cologney note, a tiny bit of an ozonic note, and maybe a barely detectable smidgen of fruit and wood. The scent started dissipating within about 2 hours.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

Lemon Pumpkin Shortbread

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-2-5-oz-Lemon-Pumpkin-Shortbread-Scented-Wax-Melts/973191208

Notes: Spiced pumpkin puree stirred with lemon and ginger zest then infused with buttery shortbread and baked with cinnamon and black clove, accented with vanilla bean and topped with lemon drizzle icing

Someone said it smells like a cross between Better Homes & Gardens Orange Buttercream Cupcake and popcorn. I thought based on that, that it might be a dupe of Better Homes & Gardens Candied Citrus Pumpkin from 2016, but it's not. It definitely smells like Orange Buttercream Cupcake (a fake but yummy orange Fruit Loops cereal type scent), but with a lemony note and a rich slightly salty note with a hint of nutmeg to give it just a smidgen of pumpkininess. Looking at the scent notes, I think I do detect a smidgen of ginger, not really shortbread although there may be a hint of bakery, and I don't smell cinnamon or clove. Melted, it just smells like a rich, lemony, slightly salty version of Orange Buttercream Cupcake, and I think it might end up being just as popular!

Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5

Pumpkin Honey Butter

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-2-5-oz-Pumpkin-Honey-Butter-Scented-Wax-Melts/643189893

Notes: Sweet and warm all spice fragrances, stirred with pumpkin butter and honey with spices of clove bud, nutmeg and cinnamon. Tonka bean and vanilla cream soothes in the background.

This is weak on cold sniff, so I can't really tell what I'm smelling. It smells kind of like burnt marshmallow. When melted, yes definitely a burnt kind of sweet scent like marshmallow. I'm not sure if I detect honey, but I definitely don't smell pumpkin. It smells slightly like ScentSationals Pumpkin Marshmallow Cream, but with much less scent, and burnt. I'm not a fan.

Throw: Faint, 2 out of 5

Pumpkin Marshmallow Topping

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-2-5-oz-Pumpkin-Marshmallow-Topping-Scented-Wax-Melts/474100436

Notes: Swirls of pumpkin spice, sweet marshmallow cream, coconut milk and vanilla. Toasted almond, cinnamon sugar and davana add dimension while sweet sugar crystals

I'm sure this is a dupe of an older scent, but I don't know which one. It smells like snowball cookies, which are rich buttery melty shortbread pecan cookies rolled in powdered sugar. I don't smell pumpkin or spices at all, and not even marshmallow. It's a nice rich yummy scent. It smells a lot like the Michael's Ashland brand Winter White Cookies trio from November 2016. It also smells like Better Homes & Gardens Cranberry Cookie Crumble from November 2016. Sniffing PMT and CCC side by side, they're quite similar but not exactly the same. CCC is a little sweeter and richer with a hint of a brown sugar note, while PMT has more of the buttery pecan note and a hint of milkiness.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

Pumpkin S'Mores Latte

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-2-5-oz-Pumpkin-Smores-Latte-Scented-Wax-Melts/970002718

Notes: Warm pumpkin puree, toasted marshmallow, graham cracker accord and milk latte. Sweet cinnamon & shaved nutmeg infuses flavor while whipped vanilla creme adds the perfect finishing touch

Why so many marshmallowy scents this season? Pumpkin Honey Butter, Pumpkin Marshmallow Topping, and Pumpkin S'Mores Latte all smell similar to each other. This one smells like graham crackers and marshmallows with possibly a smidgen of cinnamon. I don't smell coffee at all, or even pumpkin. Maybe a hint of apple? This one also has a tiny bit of that burnt note like Pumpkin Honey Butter, but much more subtle, so it must be the marshmallow causing that. Looking at the scent notes, no apple.

Throw: Medium, 3.5 out of 5

Sunlit Meadow Trail

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-2-5-oz-Sunlit-Meadow-Trail-Scented-Wax-Melts/737317382

Notes: White mahogany, aromatic birch wood, crisp juniper berry and fresh green balsam shimmer with fragrant herbs, touches of sparkling citrus, green moss, and smooth ambered sandalwood

This smells just like a nice shampoo, body wash, or air freshener. It's fresh with a slightly salty ozonic note, a hint of a soapy and maybe peppery note, a smidgen of floral, and possibly a smidgen of apple or apple blossom. But although it's a little sweet it's not perfumey. This is a perfect scent for the bathroom, and I really like it.

Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5

Sweet Blackberry Bourbon

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-2-5-oz-Sweet-Blackberry-Bourbon-Scented-Wax-Melts/184238524

Notes: Sweet and tart blends infusing blackberry and pumpkin with red currant, davana, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and clove. Sandalwood, aged oak barrel and a touch of vanilla bean adds the perfect balance. But the candle notes are blackberry, red currant, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove, sandalwood, oak, and vanilla make up this sweet, fruity, and slightly herbaceous scent

This smells like mulberry and cinnamon, and maybe a bit of cranberry. It's not a "bourbon" or alcohol type of scent, and not even blackberry. It's a little sweet, and it's quite cinnamony. Definitely a holiday scent. I believe it's a dupe of a holiday scent from 2014 or 2015 (I forget the name). This one took over 2 hours to throw fairly well. For the first 2 hours or so, throw was very mild and I could barely smell it.

Throw: Medium, 3.5 out of 5

These are the scents I'm still waiting for, and will review them as well:

Chilled Pomegranate Wine
Mahogany & Sandalwood
Warm Velvet Pomegranate
Spiced Vanilla Embers
Aloha Pineapple Pumpkin
Dark Midnight Skies
Woodland Forest Floor duo - Fallen Leaves & Green Moss

These 2 scents will probably arrive in November:

Creamy Marshmallow Cocoa ("Holiday Edition")
Warm Fireside Flurries

I'm not sure if these 2 scents will be available in wax melts, or just candles:

All Things Nice
Vermont White Spruce
Lavender & Freesia
Country Gingerbread Cookie

Rustic Pine

On cold sniff I smell a strong, slightly biting pine, but I also smell a fresh air soapy note, as well as a smidgen of a rich vanilla or caramel way in the background (which probably can't be detected when melting). It's an odd combination of notes, and I'm not sure how well they'll work together.

Melted, however, as I expected, I only smell pine. Considering how few scents Mainstays has, I don't think they need so many of them to be pine (Pine, Evergreen Spruce, Rustic Pine, and even a little Shade of Autumn).

Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5

Shades of Autumn

I really like this scent. It smells like raw wood and fallen leaves with just a hint of pine, and maybe a barely detectable smidgen of apple.

Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5
