Spring 2018 was the first year that Better Homes & Gardens came out with the new "Aromatherapy" melts in these oval clamshells at Walmart (reviewed HERE). 8 new scents were released at that time. This year, only 4 new Better Homes & Gardens Aromatherapy scents were released.

Bergamot & Sage

- https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-and-Gardens-Scented-Wax-Cubes-Bergamot-and-Sage/283610031
A zesty slightly herbal cologney scent with a salty note. It's savory and just a little sweet. When melted there's also a tiny bit of a soapy note and possibly a barely detectable smidgen of pine. I really like this scent.
Throw: Mild, 2.75 out of 5

Frankincense & Patchouli

Notes: Gently spiced olibanum, warm patchouli, and woody vetiver reveal notes of patchouli and ambered floralcy
This is a dupe of so many other scents, including ScentSationals Dark Musk (from Meijer), ScentSationals Barton Springs from H.E.B., and ScentSationals Date Night duo's Moonlit Walk. It's a super rich men's cologne scent unlike any others I've smelled. It's warm, with an ambery note, and a barely detectable hint of smokiness. But what sets it apart is a rich almost foodie quality that might be a hint of blackberry, vanilla, and/or caramel. It may also have a smidgen of patchouli way in the background. My description doesn't do it justice. It's an incredible scent. And it lasted all day, at least 8 hours.
Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5

Jasmine & Ylang Ylang

On cold sniff I smell more of the jasmine and even a honeysuckle or orange blossom note, which smells great. But when melted, it takes on an odd slightly bitter herbal note with a smidgen of cinnamon or spiciness. I guess that's supposed to be the Ylang, but it smells nothing like Ylang. I would still classify it as a floral, but it has that odd herbal note that I'm not sure I like.
Throw: Medium, 3.25 out of 5

Sandalwood & Vanilla

- https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-and-Gardens-Scented-Wax-Cubes-Sandalwood-and-Vanilla/962670458
Notes: Warm sandalwood with notes of dark amber softened with vanilla
This is the same scent as ScentSationals Exotic Sandalwood from Meijer, and AmbiEscents Sandalwood Vanilla. Sandalwood smells like light milky wood, and I think I detect a little bit of that in this scent. I don't really smell the vanilla, but there is a smidgen of sweetness which may indeed be the vanilla. But the main note is oud, which is a deep resinous tree woodsy scent that can have a sour note, which this scent does have, but not nearly enough to ruin the scent. Amber adds a warm note, and I'm not sure if I smell that. It's a fantastic scent, one of my favorites.
Throw: Medium, 3.25 out of 5
