Pier 1 has wax melts! These are brand new as of October 2018. Pier 1 used to have wax melts about 4 or 5 years ago, but they were discontinued. These new wax melts are fantastic. All are very strong on cold sniff, they smell great, and they throw very well. I don't know what wax melt company actually manufactures these (they are not made by Rimports/ScentSationals, Hanna's Candle, MVP Group Intl., or Empire Brands).
The only negative I can find with the Pier 1 wax melts is that they cost $3.99, twice the price of $2 Walmart wax melts. Keep looking for sales!
The Pier 1 wax melts are available in their stores, as well as online to ship to your home (free shipping on orders over $49), or you can order them online to ship to your local store for free.

Apple Crisp
https://www.pier1.com/apple-crisp-wax-melts/3823428.html#q=wax%2520melts&origin=gridswatch
Notes: Savory spiced apples, sugared cinnamon and a touch of lemon zest to evoke the flavor of a delicious apple crisp
There are a lot of apple and clove type scents out there at this time of year. But this one is spectacular. It's a deep rich clove scent that might have a hint of tobacco or patchouli in it, and a strong sweet apple with possibly a smidgen of cinnamon. Looking at the notes, I'm surprised I don't see clove. I don't detect lemon at all. It lasted 12 hours and might have lasted longer if I hadn't turned off my warmer.
Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5
Gingerbread
https://www.pier1.com/freshly-baked-gingerbread-wax-melts/3823471.html#q=wax%2520melts&origin=gridswatch
Notes:
Top notes: Citrus, fruit
Middle notes: Ginger, cinnamon cookies
Base notes: Gingerbread, vanilla, buttercream
A sweet warm gingerbread cookie scent. It smells better than some other gingerbread scents I've smelled, sweeter and not as intense with the ginger. Looking at the notes, there may be a hint of cinnamon, but absolutely no citrus or fruit.
Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5
Holiday Forest
https://www.pier1.com/holiday-forest-wax-melts/3823484.html#q=wax%2520melts&origin=gridswatch
Notes: A snow-tipped holiday fragrance of evergreen, balsam and pine, warmed with Texas cedar and Spanish moss
I only found this one after I'd already reviewed the other scents. It's a nice high quality pine scent with a hint of smokiness. Comparing it to ScentSationals Perfectly Pine (I scent I love), this scent smells richer and more authentic. But I'm not sure it's worth paying double the price!
Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5
Patchouli
https://www.pier1.com/patchouli-wax-melts-/3823290.html#q=wax%2520melts&origin=gridswatch
Notes: Earthy patchouli leaves and French vanilla, balanced by almond-like tonka and just a hint of musk
This is a perfumey patchouli soap scent with a hint of oriental spices and a smidgen of baby powder. I smell the woodsiness of the patchouli behind sweet musky perfume, with a subtle base of a bland Ivory soap type note. It's a fantastic scent! Looking at the notes, I don't smell vanilla or almond at all. It lasted 12 hours and might have lasted longer if I hadn't turned off my warmer.
Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5
Peppermint Stick
https://www.pier1.com/peppermint-stick-wax-melts/3823443.html#q=wax%2520melts&origin=gridswatch
Notes:
Top note: Cool mint
Middle note: Peppermint
Base notes: Peppermint, vanilla
A perfect peppermint hard candy or candy cane scent. It's a very strong peppermint (not spearmint or herbal mint), with a sweet slightly rich vanilla note. Fantastic!
Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5
Perfect Lemon
https://www.pier1.com/perfect-lemon-wax-melts/3823337.html#q=wax%2520melts&origin=gridswatch
Notes:
Top notes: Citrus, green
Middle notes: Lemon, lime, bergamot
Base notes: Wood, floral, musk
This is the same scent as Better Homes & Gardens
Meyer Lemon Basil, a salty savory herbal lemon scent. It's very nice, although some people have said that Meyer Lemon Basil smells like celery (I don't detect that). It lasted for 8 hours but probably would have gone longer if I hadn't turned my warmer off at night.
Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5
Rosemary & Mint
https://www.pier1.com/rosemary-%26-mint-wax-melts/3823311.html#q=wax%2520melts&origin=gridswatch
Notes: Unwind and recharge when you breathe in this savory blend of aromatic eucalyptus, crisp mint and distinctive rosemary resting on a bed of woodsy moss and musk
This smells like fresh garden mint with another note that I can never figure out in these types of scents. It's a savory herbal note, but it's very subtle, definitely not as strong and savory as actual rosemary. It also has a tiny bit of a soapy note, like a cleaner, but not in a bad way. It smells a lot like ScentSationals Zen, but it's not the same scent. It's not as sweet as Zen (actually not a very sweet scent at all), and the mint is more pronounced. The mint is a fresh herbal garden mint, not spearmint ("toothpaste") or peppermint. But it's a subtle mint. It's more of an herbal, slightly spa type scent. Looking at the notes, I suppose there could be a smidgen of eucalyptus, although that has a pine type note which I don't detect in this scent.
Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5
Sea Air
https://www.pier1.com/sea-air-wax-melts-/3823287.html#q=wax%2520melts&origin=gridswatch
Notes: A breezy blend of tropical jasmine, white lilac and gardenia, with just a splash of peach
This smells a lot like Better Homes & Gardens
Caribbean Sea Breeze, but it's not exactly the same. The coconut is a bit more subtle, and I also smell a hint of a perfumey floral that I think is lilac (which is not in the BHG scent). It also smells a little like ScentSationals Fresh Air (a sweet, fresh, clean scent that might also have barely detectable smidgens of vanilla, apple, coconut, and maybe even mint), but with coconut. So it's like Caribbean Sea Breeze mixed with lilac mixed with a hint of ScentSationals Fresh Air. Looking at the notes, I'm surprised I don't see coconut, as that seems to be the main note. I love this scent.
Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5
Sugared Cinnamon
https://www.pier1.com/sugared-cinnamon-wax-melts/3823309.html#q=wax%2520melts&origin=gridswatch
Notes: Cinnamon and nutmeg, sweetened by crystallized sugar and blended with a dash of vanilla and caramel
On cold sniff this smells like a cinnamon roll. It's a strong cinnamon scent with a little bit of vanilla buttercream note. It's very authentic, much more so than other similar scents I've smelled
Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5
Sunset Citrus
https://www.pier1.com/sunset-citrus-wax-melts/3823324.html#q=wax%2520melts&origin=gridswatch
Notes: A bright, fruit-filled scent that blends grapefruit, tangerine and black currant with raspberry, vanilla and soft sandalwood
A fantastic orange scent with a hint of grapefruit. It's more of an orange candy scent than an authentic orange, but in a good way. This smells a lot like a ScentSationals brand orange that I've smelled before, but I'm not sure which one. It's not like their Molten Orange scent, which is stronger, richer, slightly less citrusy, and more intense.
Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5
