Aloha Coconut
https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/ambiescents-trade-6-pack-aloha-coconut-scented-wax-cubes/5280171?keyword=fragrance-cubes
Notes: Candied coconut flakes, vanilla pound cake, sweet vanilla buttercream icing and sugar strands
This is the same scent as ScentSationals Coconut Vacay (which is similar to Better Homes & Gardens Island Coconut Lime, but with mostly lime and just a hint of coconut, and without the slightly soapy note that Island Coconut Lime has). The scent notes are totally wrong, as this is a coconut scent with a strong lime note, and no vanilla, cake, or buttercream notes. Actually, sniffing them side by side, they "might" be very slightly different. Aloha Coconut seems to be MORE limey than Coconut Vacay (although not as limey and sweet as Mainstays Coconut Lime).
Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5
Boss Lady
https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/ambiescents-trade-6-pack-boss-lady-scented-wax-cubes/5280174?keyword=fragrance-cubes
Notes: Sweet orange zest, apple, tonka bean, jasmine, pink berry and coconut milk
This is the same scent as ScentSationals Girlfriend Night.
Throw: Strong, 3.75 out of 5
Confetti Cake
This is the same as AmbiEscents Sugar Cookies, basically just a nice sweet vanilla scent with a buttercream note (a slightly different scent from ScentSationals Vanilla Bean). In fact, my store receipt says "Sugar Cookie"!
Cotton Blossom
Fantastic laundry scent. It's definitely a dupe of another ScentSationals or Better Homes & Gardens scent, because I've smelled it several times before. It smells more like laundry detergent than a powdery fabric softener (or might be a mix of both), but it's also not a harsh detergent scent like Better Homes & Gardens Line Dried Linen.
Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5
Cotton Candy
https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/ambiescents-trade-6-pack-cotton-candy-scented-wax-cubes/5280176?keyword=ambiescents
Notes: Spun sugar
This is the same scent as ScentSationals Cotton Candy Cloud.
Throw: Medium, 3.25 out of 5
Flower Festival
This is not a floral scent at all. In fact, I think it's the same scent as last year's Better Homes & Gardens Pineapple Melon Freeze, which was a dupe of an older ScentSationals scent called Tropical Fiesta. It's a waxy, slightly sour tropical scent with a cantaloupe note, and maybe a bit of pineapple, but it's not sweet at all. I don't care for it.
Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5
Hawaiian Honeysuckle
https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/ambiescents-trade-6-pack-hawaiian-honeysuckle-scented-wax-cubes/5280173?keyword=fragrance-cubes
Notes: Pineapple, melon, berry, kiwi, honeysuckle, white orchid, soft musk and sheer ozone
This is the same scent as ScentSationals Honeysuckle Pineapple.
Throw: Faint, 2 out of 5
Ocean Waves
https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/ambiescents-trade-6-pack-ocean-waves-scented-wax-cubes/5280175?keyword=fragrance-cubes
Notes: Sparkling ozone, sea salt, jasmine, cyclamen, peach and warm, musk-infused woods
This is the same scent as ScentSationals Ocean Tides, AmbiEscents Maui Beach (not to be confused with ScentSationals Maui Beach Waves, which is a different scent), and ScentSationals Calypso Sands. It's fantastic!
Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5
Ripped Jeans
https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/ambiescents-trade-6-pack-ripped-jeans-scented-wax-cubes/5280172?keyword=fragrance-cubes
Notes: Egyptian cotton, freshly laundered denim, citron, white aldehydes, lush greens, translucent musk and warm, ozone-infused woods
This is a laundry scent, but it's different from Cotton Blossom, which is kind of cross between laundry detergent and fabric softener. This scent smells more like musk, gardenia, and a smidgen of rose, with a little bit of a fresh laundry/fabric softener note. Despite the Egyptian cotton note in this scent, it's a different scent from ScentSationals Egyptian Cotton. And despite the florals and musk, it's not a super sweet perfumey scent, because of the laundry note. I haven't smelled this one before, so I don't know if it's a dupe of another scent. Okay, the notes are exactly the same as ScentSationals Laundry Basket, which I no longer have. But I do have AmbiEscents Laundry Basket and I sniffed them side by side and they're totally different scents. But AmbiEscents Laundry Basket and ScentSationals Laundry Basket may be different scents.
Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5
Shake It Up
https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/ambiescents-trade-6-pack-shake-it-up-scented-wax-cubes/5280170?keyword=fragrance-cubes
Notes: Pink sugar cupcakes, sugared berry icing, fruit nectars and strawberries
This is the same scent as ScentSationals Unicorn Cake.
Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5
Sunlit
https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/ambiescents-trade-6-pack-sunlit-cream-scented-wax-cubes/5280169?keyword=fragrance-cubes
Notes: Juicy apple, sweet berries, pink jasmine petals and soft woods
This is the same scent as ScentSationals Celebration Time, although the scent notes for Celebration Time are, "A sweet citrus blend accented by soft greens, fresh berries, ginger sparkle with hints of white jasmine, cala lily, white woods and golden amber finished with candied vanilla and toasted sugar". I just sniffed them side by side. It's a warm ambery super sweet perfumey pear nectar scent, and it's fantastic.
Throw: Strong, 3.75 out of 5
