Hanna's Candle (Candlemart) hasn't come out with new scents since Winter 2017, but they've made some of their Aromabeads scents available in wax melts. Hanna's Candle's wax melts can be found on their website at https://candlemart.com/collections/candles-melts/no-wick. Great products and fantastic customer service!



Apple Melon

Notes: Cantaloupe, green apple, cucumber, muguet, freesia, and white musk

Just like the scent name, I smell melon and apple. The melon smells like cantaloupe but it might also include watermelon. No watermelon in the scent notes, but the muguet, freesia and musk make it quite sweet, like a watermelon candy. I do smell the green watery crispness of the cucumber too. And of course the apple. It's a pleasant scent.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5



Coral Honeysuckle

Notes: Sweet honeysuckle and a touch of lemon blends with orange blossom, yellow freesia, muguet, and gardenia; sweet musk delivers a soothing finish

A lovely sweet floral scent of honeysuckle and  orange blossom/neroli (one of my favorite scents). Fantastic! Looking at the notes, I don't smell lemon at all.

Throw: Medium, 3.5 out of 5



Eucalyptus Mint

Notes: Eucalyptus leaves, bright magenta thyme, sage, marjoram, rosemary, french lavender, and wild mint

This smells a lot like ScentSationals Zen, that relaxing soapy, clean, very slightly minty scent. But like Zen, I don't smell eucalyptus, which has a strong pine note. I don't really smell the other herbs either, since this is not a savory scent. Just a bit of the mint. Oh, lavender, yes I think I do smell that. This scent is slightly sweet, so that must be from the lavender too.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5



Ground Spice & Cinnamon

Notes: A strong cinnamon bark blend is followed by a warm wood and sweet amber

This is a cinnamon candy scent. Looking at the notes, I don't detect wood or amber (amber would give it a warm perfumey note). It has a bit of that "red hot" candy note, but it also has a very slight powdery note which might actually be the amber.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5



Hazelnut Latte

Notes: Toasted coconut and warm honey fuses with hazelnut, sweet almonds and cinnamon at the heart of the scrumptious blend. Vanilla cream, brown sugar and maple entice us with their sweet and sticky tones.

A yummy sweet buttery nutty scent. I don't really smell coffee, or it may be way in the background. Looking at the notes, no coffee! I don't smell coconut, honey or cinnamon, but I do smell maple.

Throw: Medium, 3.5 out of 5



Mountain Air PureFresh Bathroom Neutralizing

Notes: A crisp fresh blend of ozone, herbs, florals and musk

On cold sniff this smells like a nice smelling bar of soap. Melted, it's definitely a laundry scent, but a nice soapy laundry scent, not a harsh detergent scent but also not a flowery fabric softener scent. It's also not overly sweet, but more soapy, with a bit of an Ivory soap note. I really like it.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5



Peony & Rose Bouquet

Notes: This fresh floral fragrance blends notes of pink peony, rose, orange flower and blushing hibiscus with effervescent citrus and berry nuances; warm woods and musk provide a perfect warming finish

This is the same as the South Seas scent from Aldi from January 2018 (https://www.scentedwaxmeltreviews.com/2018/01/aldi-wax-melts-reviews-spring-2018.html). It smells like old soap, which sometimes smells quite good. But it's very bitter and fake and smells kind of "burnt" to me. It doesn't smell like peony or rose to me at all. However, I think I'm in the minority, since most people love this scent. Looking at the scent notes, it might be the effervescent citrus that gives it the bitter note, although I don't smell any fizziness or citrus at all.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5



Pumpkin Brulee

Notes: Harvest pumpkin interwoven with delectable notes of nutmeg, cinnamon and pure vanilla

A rich pumpkin pie scent with a buttery cinnamon note, like what a cinnamon bun would smell like if it had pumpkin pie filling and a rich buttery pie crust

Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5



Sandy Beach

Notes: Gardenia, lime, ozone, fruity coconut, sweet praline, and fresh muguet

I love this scent! It smells like Coppertone Suntan oil mixed with a hint of coconut and maybe a smidgen of sweet tropical nectar. It also has a tiny bit of a yummy note, like maybe a smidgen of caramel. Looking at the notes, the yumminess is from the praline. I don't smell lime.

Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5



South Seas

Notes: Driftwood and sea kelp, tropical fruits, and a sweet hint of caramel

I thought this was the same as the South Seas scent from Aldi from January 2018, but I don't think it is. This is a fresh watery scent with a bitter note and maybe a smidgen of a peppery note. It's more bitter than the Aldi version.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5



Spiced Peach

Notes: Ginger, lemon zest, fresh juicy peach, apricot marmalade, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of buttery crust

A nice milky, creamy peach. Looking at the scent notes, I don't detect ginger or spices, but there is a smidgen of a buttery bakery note. Not fake, harsh, or overly sweet. This one should be called "Peaches & Cream"!

Throw: Strong, 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.

Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5



Tropical Smoothie

Notes: Fruity notes of sweet mango and fresh papaya swirl with juicy accents of fuzzy peach and ripe guava infused with sweet peach blossom, apricot flower, island jasmine, and golden ylang ylang

This smells like an authentic juicy peach, with a hint of sweet guava. It's a fantastic scent, and I believe it's also the same scent as Mainstays Peach & Mango from Walmart.

Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5

Hanna's Candle Pumpkin Palooza Fall 2017 Scented Wax Melts Reviews

Hanna's Candle Pumpkin Palooza Fall 2017 Scented Wax Melts Reviews

These Hanna's Candle wax melts are only available in their new smaller 1.25 oz. size (like Walmart's Mainstays wax melts). But unlike the Mainstays melts, which are soft and messy, the Hanna's melts use hard wax. Hanna's Candle (CandleMart) melts can be found on their website at https://candlemart.com/collections/candles-melts/no-wick.

Cinnamon Pumpkin Tart

Notes: Fresh pumpkin, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon bark, vanilla whipped cream, golden graham

Review: This is mostly a cinnamon scent, but it's a nice "cinnamon powder" cinnamon roll type scent. Sweet and a little rich, with a little clove and nutmeg. It's a very nice scent, not a harsh "Big Red" or "Red Hot" cinnamon scent at all. I'm not a fan of straight cinnamon scents, and I like this one!

Throw: Excellent, 3.5 or 4 out of 5



Creamy Pumpkin Butter

Notes: Fresh pumpkin, cardamom, nutmeg and pure vanilla extract

Review: A sweet rich buttery pumpkin scent with nutmeg, but not overly spicy, and not nauseatingly rich, and not really salty either like a lot of pumpkin scents can be. Very nice!

Throw: Good, 3 out of 5



Pumpkin Caramel Parfait

Notes: Pumpkin spice blended with buttery caramel, honeyed cream and vanilla.

Review: A sweet caramely vanilla scent with a hint of pumpkin spice. It's not overly rich and doesn't have the salty notes that a lot of pumpkiny scents have.

Throw: Very Good, 3 or 3.5 out of 5



Sweet Pumpkin Roll

Notes: Brown Sugar combines with buttercream and sweet lemon to create a complex fragrance laced with pumpkin accord, ginger, and nutmeg with hints of vanilla, pecan, and sugarcane

Review: This is the same as the Mainstays Pecan Pumpkin Cake scent from Walmart (which is also a dupe for Bath & Body Works Pumpkin Pecan Waffle). Fun Fact: Mainstays melts are made by both MVP Group Intl. and Hanna's Candle. MVP Group Intl. also makes wax melts for Colonial Candles, Living Colors (Big Lots), True Living (Dollar General), K-Mart and Sears brands, and some dollar store brands. I don't know which scents are provided by which manufacturer, but clearly the Mainstays Pecan Pumpkin Cake is made by Hanna's Candle. It's a super rich milky caramel scent with a nutty note. Looking at the scent notes, yep, there's the nuttiness of the pecan. I don't smell lemon at all. Fantastic scent!

Throw: Excellent, 4 out of 5

Hanna's Candle (CandleMart) Citronella Scented Wax Melts Reviews

Hanna's Candle (CandleMart) Citronella Scented Wax Melts Reviews

Watch video below:

Citronella is a summery scent that's use to keep mosquitoes away. People either love or hate this scent, although it brings back memories of outdoor gatherings in the summer, with citronella candles on the picnic table. Citronella is an interesting scent, and not something you'd normally want the inside of your house to smell like. It has kind of a grassy but pungent soapy smell, not very sweet, and a little like lemon verbena but without a true lemon note. I see that these scents consist of 90% citronella and only 10% of the other scent; I would have liked to have had a greater percentage of the other scent, since I really just smelled the citronella. However, it's a true citronella scent, the real deal, using the real citronella oil!

I didn't test the mosquito fighting ability of these melts. But if you're going to use them outside, it makes more sense to buy the candles rather than the wax melts, unless you're using the melts in a tealight warmer which of course does not require electricity.


Lavender Citronella
Notes: 90% citronella and 10% lavender

I smell citronella, with a barely detectable hint of lavender. If I didn't know lavender was the other note, I wouldn't detect it. It's a slightly "softer" citronella. Throw was excellent, 3.5 or 4 out of 5.

Lemongrass Citronella
Notes: 90% citronella and 10% lemongrass

Of course the main note is citronella, but I do smell just a hint of lemongrass in the background. This one is the most "citronella-y" of these 4 scents. Throw was excellent, 3.5 or 4 out of 5.

Lime Cilantro Citronella
Notes: 90% citronella and 10% lime cilantro

Like the other two scents above, I just smell citronella. But there's a smidgeon of the lime in there, although if I didn't know it were in there I would probably not detect it. This one smells slightly more soapy (in a good way) and less intense than the Lemongrass Citronella. Throw was very good, 3 or 3.5 out of 5.

Orange Citronella
Notes: 90% citronella and 10% orange

This is the only citronella out of the 4 citronella scents where I can definitely detect the other non-citronella note. This is a good combination of citronella and orange. But throw was only fair, 2.5 or maybe 3 out of 5.
