Coconut Lime

I was not expecting this scent to smell as good as it does. I expected it to smell like mostly coconut with a hint of lime. But instead, it's a perfect combination of sweet creamy lime and coconut. It's a nice sweet scent with just a smidgen of saltiness, like a creamy tropical lime drink, and it's fantastic.

Comparing it to other similar scents, I like this new Mainstays Coconut Lime scent the best:

ScentSationals Coconut Lime and Better Homes & Gardens Island Coconut Lime (same scent) and ScentSationals Coconut Vacay smell completely different. Coconut Lime is mostly coconut with a slightly salty lime note, and Coconut Vacay is an even mix of coconut and lime, but the lime is slightly salty and lemony. Neither of these scents are sweet.

Yankee Perfect Margarita / Margarita Time is a fresh sweet creamy lime scent, and I don't really smell coconut. It's a great scent, but it's richer and more "limey" than the Mainstays scent, with another note that I've never cared for, maybe honey, which sounds great, but it makes this scent too rich.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

Papaya Passion
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-Papaya-Passion-Wax-Melts/870098087

A tropical fruit scent with notes of pineapple and papaya, and possibly a smidgen of coconut. It's sweet but not overly sweet, and not overly pineapply. After doing this review, I realized that this scent has returned from last year, and I reviewed it in February 2018. Throw was strong last year, 4 out of 5, but as we all know, there are a lot of variables that can affect throw.

Throw: Medium, 3.5 out of 5

Pineapple Lily

A tropical scent that smells almost exactly like Papaya Passion, but a little less sweet, and has a slightly sour fruit note that a lot of tropical scents have (but not in a bad way). I only smell a smidgen of pineapple, and I don't smell any lily or floral notes.

Throw: Medium, 3.5 out of 5

Peach & Mango and Wild Honeysuckle have returned from previous years. I reviewed both of them in February 2016.
