This is a review of Dollar General wax melt brands True Living, FreshWorks, and MVP Group Intl. This is the second part of the review I did on October 19 at http://www.scentedwaxreviews.com/2017/10/dollar-general-wax-melts-reviews-true-living-freshworks.html. I didn't have these particular wax melts at that time. The FreshWorks melts were $2, the True Living and MVP Group Intl. duos were $3.50, and the tiny 1.1oz. three-cube MVP Group Intl. packs were $1 each.
FreshWorks
FreshWorks Apple Spice
On cold sniff this smells like apple cinnamon scented vinyl, a very fake scent with a chemical note. But melted, it smells a bit better, with a slight floral or perfumey note. Throw was medium, 3 out of 5.
FreshWorks Coconut Palm
This smells like coconut with a slightly sweet chemical note. There may be a smidgen of a woodsy palm note, but it's barely detectable. It's actually a pretty nice scent. Throw was medium, 3 or 3.5 out of 5.
FreshWorks Wild Raspberry
A fake raspberry scent. It's not overly sweet, and smells a bit like raspberry scented lipstick. It's actually a nice scent. Throw was poor, 1 out of 5.
MVP Group Intl.
MVP Group Intl. also makes wax melts for Living Colors at Big Lots, Red Shed at Tractor Supply, Colonial Candle, Burt's Bees, Kmart and Sears wax melts, and many dollar store melts.
MVP Group Intl. First Noel
This smells like a fresh, crisp men's cologne or body wash. Throw was mild, 2.5 or 3 out of 5
MVP Group Intl. Frosted Pine
A pine scent that smells quite nice, with a bit of a tart sweet cranberry note, more complex than I expected. Throw was mild, 2.5 or 3 out of 5.
MVP Group Intl. Iced Winter Berries
These come in 1.1 oz. packs of 3 cubes each. Wax is very soft and messy. Sweet but tart fruit scent, like cranberry or raspberry, but it's a fake berry scent. Even so, it's quite nice. Throw was medium, 3 or 3.5 out of 5.
MVP Group Intl. Raspberry Candy Cane
This is just a fake sweet raspberry scent that smells very nice, but there's no mint or candy cane note at all. Throw was faint, 2 or 2.5 out of 5.
MVP Group Intl. Blackberry Crumble / Warm Cider duo
Blackberry Crumble - A nice (but fake) scent that has been used as a blueberry muffin scent in other MVP Group wax melts. Throw was faint, 2 or 2.5 out of 5.
Warm Cider - A fake but pleasant apple cinnamon scent. Throw was 0 out of 5.
MVP Group Intl. Raspberry Shortbread / Vanilla Peppermint duo
Raspberry Shortbread - A fake raspberry scent with a hint of a bakery note. It's a nice scent with a creamy note, and not overly sweet. Throw was medium, 3 or 3.5 out of 5.
Vanilla Peppermint - Very nice creamy vanilla peppermint scent. The peppermint is not overly minty. Throw was medium, 3 out of 5.
True Living
True Living Apple Cinnamon
I barely smell anything on cold sniff except sweet wax with a slight fake apple cinnamon note. There's another note way in the background that might be mint or mildew (depending on how old this pack is). The little bit of scent I can smell is not too bad considering how fake it smells. Throw was very faint, 1 or maybe 2 out of 5.
True Living Candied Apple / Salted Caramel duo
Candied Apple - A nice caramel apple scent. Throw was medium, 3 out of 5.
Salted Caramel - Very weak on cold sniff, I smell caramel with a waxy note, and it's not salty or overly sweet. But melted, it was actually a fantastic scent, like caramel fudge. Throw was medium, 3 or 3.5 out of 5
True Living Cinnamon Roll / Orange Cream duo
Cinnamon Roll - A very nice Cinnabon type sweet cinnamon roll scent. Throw was 0 out of 5.
Orange Cream - A very nice sweet almost marshmallowy creamy orange creamsicle scent. The orange was subtle when melting, and I smelled more of the buttercream Throw was mild, 2.5 or 3 out of 5.
True Living Hawaiian Paradise / Dragonfruit Mango duo
Hawaiian Paradise - This smells like a nice combination of pineapple juice and grapefruit juice, with a hint of vanilla. Throw was mild, 2.5 or 3 out of 5.
Dragonfruit Mango - This smells like a tropical fruit flavored powdered drink mix, but I can't figure out what kind of fruit as it's weak on cold sniff. It smells fake and not overly sweet, but it's a nice scent. Throw was 0 out of 5.
True Living Spice Marke / Vanilla Sugar duo
Spice Market - A sweet vanilla with a very subtle hint of cinnamon. Throw was 0 out of 5.
Vanilla Sugar - A sweet vanilla marshmallow buttercream scent. Very nice! Throw was mild, 2.5 or 3 out of 5.
