Cranberry Mandarin
Notes: Red currant, juicy orange, crisp cranberry, spices, and fresh apple
This scent has been around for years, and it's made by a lot of other wax melt companies. But I like Aldi version the best. It's a bold sweet orange scent but it's not citrusy, and I detect the slight tartness of the cranberry. It might also have a smidgen of a red berry type note. Fantastic scent! This is the same scent as Hanna's Candle's Cranberry Mandarin (not confirmed by Hanna's). Looking at the notes, I don't smell any spices at all, but I guess the other fruit note I'm detecting is the apple (barely noticeable). And red currant is the first note, so no wonder I love this scent so much. Currant is a fig-like soapy scent with a tiny bit of tartness, a hint of a perfumey note, and a smidgen of a berry note with hardly any sweetness. It's a very sophisticated scent that, when mixed with other scents, gives them a classy note.
Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5
Fresh Linen
Notes: Sweet baltic amber and sandalwood mixed with florals of jasmine, honeysuckle and zinnia, with fresh berries and a hint of vanilla praline
This is different from any other laundry type scent I've smelled, and it's a completely different scent from their Fresh Cotton Blossom scent from January 2018. It smells like musk with vanilla and baby powder, although it does have a bit of a laundry note. It's not a biting laundry scent at all, and unlike most fabric softener scents, it's not overly sweet or overly "laundry". It's a very pleasant scent.
It's the same scent as Hanna's Candle's Jasmine Breeze Aromabeads Singles (not confirmed by Hanna's). Hanna's makes Aldi melts, so it makes sense. You can buy the Singles on the Hanna's website at https://candlemart.com/products/aromabeads-singles-jasmine-breeze-scented-wax-melts for one, or https://candlemart.com/products/aromabeads-singles-jasmine-breeze-wax-melts-10-pack for a 10 pack. These are only 1 oz. each, so if you love the scent, go for the 10 pack!
Lavender & Thyme
Notes: A beautiful aroma of lavender, jasmine flowers, and rose petals blended with the sultry notes of sandalwood and musk
This is the same scent that came out in January 2018. It's 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, mint, or pine. Looking at the scent notes, I don't smell jasmine, rose or musk. I believe that, like last year's Lavender & Thyme scent from Aldi, this is the same scent as Hanna's Candle's Lavender Thyme (not confirmed by Hanna's).
Throw: Medium, 3.5 out of 5
Tranquil Waters
Notes: A bright blue sky reflected in shimmering waters where delicate water lilies float with violet, rose and freesia blossoms before drifting into the warmth of sun-kissed driftwood, sheer musks, and white amber crystals
This is the same scent as Mainstays Peaceful Waters from Walmart, a sweet watery scent with a rich warm vanilla note that gives it a foodie note, and possibly musk as it's also a little perfumey. It's also the same scent as Hanna's Candle's Tranquil Waters (not confirmed by Hanna's).
Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5
