Tuscany Candle Halloween 2017 Scented Wax Melts Reviews

Tuscany Candle Halloween 2017 Wax Melts Reviews

Click to enlarge

These are reviews of some (or most) of the Tuscany Candle Halloween 2017 scented wax melts. I found all but two of these scents at Walmart for $1.84. They're in the Halloween and fall decor section of the store, not with the regular candles and wax melts. Some Walmarts might have them mixed in with the candles and wax melts, and other Walmarts might have them on an end cap in Housewares or some other area of the store. They're hard to find since only a few of each scent are brought out at a time. But if you're frustrated at not having been able to find them, don't fret. You're not missing anything. The throw (how far you can smell the scent when it's melting) is awful for just about all of these.

I suspect that most (if not all) of the Tuscany Halloween scents that I got from Walmart are very old. They have the same label as the ones I bought in 2015, still showing the brand Langley/Empire Candle LLC even though the company was renamed Empire Brands Co. last year. The throw on these scents was weak even in 2015, although if Walmart has a bunch of these old wax melts in their warehouse that they bring out every September, the throw is going to be even weaker.

I did two separate videos because I found additional scents after I'd already done the first video, and I'd already returned the first batch of scents by that time:

Boo-Brownies

A generic chocolate scent with a fake note. Not bad, but I've smelled better chocolate scents. Throw was not good, 2 out of 5.

Candy Corn
This does smell like candy corn, but it's actually just a very sweet vanilla scent with a slight chemical note (not a rich buttercream scent though). Nice scent, but throw was fair, 2.5 or 3 out of 5.

Caramel Apple
I nice fake apple or pear candy scent with caramel. I got this at Walmart for $1.84. Throw was poor, maybe a 2 out of 5.

Pumpkin Pie
Despite the name, this is not a pumpkin pie scent at all. It's another fake apple or pear scent with caramel, but this one doesn't smell like candy, more like a bakery scent with a warm note and perhaps a smidgeon of pumpkin spice. It's a nice scent, and it's similar to Better Home & Gardens Farm Apple Pumpkin. Throw was good, 3 out of 5.

Pumpkin Apple
This is just a generic apple cider scent. No pumpkin. They should have just called it apple cider. It's a nice scent though. Throw was not good, 2 out of 5.

Pumpkin Latte
I smell a rich buttery caramel/butterscotch with vanilla buttercream and a little bit of cinnamon, and smidgen of nut. I think I also detect a tiny bit of a creamy milky sweet coffee note, but I'm not sure. No pumpkin though. Fantastic yummy scent. Unfortunately, throw was poor, maybe 1 out of 5.

Pumpkin Spice
A pumpkin pie scent. It's slightly different from many of the other pumpkin pie scents out there as I detect a hint of sweet vanilla. Throw was fair, 2.5 or 3 out of 5.

Monster Cookie
This is not pictured or in my video because I couldn't find this scent this year. But I did buy it a few years ago from JoAnn Fabric. It's a rich vanilla cookie with a nutty note. A nice scent, and not overly sweet. Throw was not good, 2 or maybe 2.5 out of 5.

Poison Apple (Trick or Treat)
I can barely smell anything on cold sniff or when melted. It smells a little like a sour apple candy. Throw was 1 out of 5 for maybe 20 minutes, but after that I put my nose a few inches from the warmer and could barely smell anything except sweet wax. I got this as Wegman's food store for $2.99.

Witch's Brew (Happy Halloween)
I can barely smell anything on cold sniff or when melted. I detect a fake apple note but it's not a very sweet apple. Throw was 1 out of 5 and might not even perform well in a tiny room. I got this as Wegman's food store for $2.99.

Tuscany Candle Scented Wax Melts Reviews - June 2017

Tuscany Candle Scented Wax Melts Reviews - June 2017

Click to enlarge

Watch video below:

This is a review of 4 Tuscany Candle Scented Wax Melts that I bought at Wegman's food store a few weeks ago. I believe these are older scents, but I've never tried them before. In general, I like the Tuscany Candle scents, but the throw tends to not be very good. As is the case with 3 of these scents. Finding Tuscany Candle wax melts it hit or miss, since there doesn't seem to be any particular store that carries them all the time. They seem to show up at of the blue a few times a year at random stores, and they don't even have a website so consumers have no way of knowing what scents are available.

Citrus Blush
This smells exactly like an orange creamsicle, that super sweet almost marshmallowy orange buttercream scent. Such a fantastic scent! Throw was good, around a 3 out of 5, but started fading within an hour and was pretty much gone in two hours.

Mandarin Currant
Mandarin is basically a type of orange, and currant is a slightly tart fig-like scent that gives a "classy" note to fragrances, a little like cranberry but sweeter and not as tart. The orange is the strongest note in this scent, but I do smell the tartness of the currant in the background, and it does have a very slight cranberry note but not as sweet and it's definitely not a fall scent. It smells a lot like ScentSationals Molten Orange, that intense but slightly tart orange scent. It's extremely strong on cold sniff. Throw was excellent, 5 out of 5, and it was a scent monster that took over the entire house! The scent started fading within 2 or 3 hours, but that's okay with me as I generally start getting bored of a scent after 2 or 3 hours.

Sage & Citrus
A nice clean slightly sweet herbal scent. It doesn't smell like sage (which is savory) OR citrus. Throw was poor, 1 out of 5, and I could barely smell it from a foot away.

Rain
A nice sweet watery scent that has a little bit of a foodie quality and might have a smidgeon of vanilla in the background. It smells a little like Mainstays Peaceful Waters, but it's not the same scent. Throw was very good, 3 or 3.5 out of 5, but started dissipating within 2 or 3 hours.

Tuscany Candle Spring Wax Melts Review - April 2016

Tuscany Candle Spring Wax Melts Review - April 2016

Click photo to view larger image

Watch video below:

I believe these are part of Tuscany Candle's spring collection (with 3 additional scents which I reviewed at http://www.scentedwaxreviews.com/2016/03/tuscany-candle-in-garden-spring-bloom.html). I found these at Christmas Tree Shops (http://www.christmastreeshops.com) in mid-April 2016. I don't know if they're new scents or older, discontinued scents. The top line is the scent name, the second line is the description on the package, and the paragraph underneath is my review of that scent.

Blood Orange
"Citrus Blast"
This is a holiday pomander scent, which is a mix of orange and cloves. It's the same scent they use in a lot of their orange scents, including Orange Vanilla. It's a strong scent, but not a spring or summer scent. I'm not a fan of that orange pomander scent, but that's just a personal preference. Throw is excellent.

Salted Caramel Cake
"Sea Salt, Brown Sugar and Vanilla"
This really smells like caramel. The brown sugar note is very strong. This is not as salty as some other brands of salted caramel scents (like Yankee). Yummy scent! Throw is excellent.

Cotton Candy
"Sugary Airy Sweet"
Tuscany's Cotton Candy scent breaks the "cotton candy curse" (as in, I've never found a cotton candy scented wax melt that had a strong throw). This is a totally authentic cotton candy scent, with that sticky strawberry/lemon sugary note. And the throw is very good to excellent. Fantastic scent!

Ocean Pebbles
"Sea Heather and Driftwood"
This smells like a fresh men's body wash, kind of like "Cool Water". It's very strong on cold sniff and throw is excellent.

Strawberry Cake
"Fresh Strawberries and Buttercream Frosting"
This smells exactly like strawberry shortcake. On cold sniff, a lot of Tuscany scents have a weird sour or waxy note, and this one is no exception. But you don't smell that sour waxy note when it's melted. I love this scent! And throw is good to very good.

Mountain Meadow
"Fresh and Clean"
This one is a bit weak on cold sniff. It's a sweet grassy floral but there's a slightly harsh note in there, like a sweet chemical, that I don't like. This smells a little like ScentSationals Orchard Breeze. Throw is fair to good, which was a pleasant surprise since I expected it to be weaker based on cold sniff.

Dandy Daisy
"Spring Daisies Lightened with Tonka"
Tonka is a type of vanilla, and I don't smell any kind of vanilla in this scent. It's not exactly a floral either. It's a fresh oceany scent with a hint of clean floral, like maybe a body wash or even a laundry type scent. It's a nice generic fresh scent. Throw is very good.

Puffed Petals
"Soft Florals Blended with Sugar Cane"
This smells like vanilla mixed with a floral and a warm ambery cashmere note. It's a very nice delicate, classy fragrance. Unfortunately, no throw at all.

Blushing Orchid
"Delicate and Wild"
A nice jasmine type floral scent with a green note and a smidgeon of soapiness that keeps it from being perfumey or too sweet. Barely any throw when melted.

Spring Rain
"Pure and Clean"
This one smells a little like Blushing Orchid but not as sweet and floral, and there's an additional note in there that makes it smells a little watery, but I'm not sure if I like that note and it's hard to describe. No throw when melted.

Tuscany Candle 2015 Fall Scented Wax Melts Review

Tuscany Candle 2015 Fall Scented Wax Melts Limited Edition Review

Click image to few larger photo

This is a review of the Tuscany Candle New 2015 Limited Edition Fall Scented Wax Melts. I believe there are a total of 14 scents available. As is often the case with Tuscany, the scents did not last very long when melted, maybe two hours tops. Which is good only if you like swapping out different scents throughout the day. The caramely spicy scents lasted a little longer, maybe 3 or 4 hours. And in general, throw was mediocre with a few exceptions, which I find is often the case with Tuscany.

You should view this table in landscape mode if you're reading it on a phone:

 

Scent Name	Scent Description
Alpine Cabin	Very hard to describe, maybe soapy baby powder with a hint of wood and possibly a smidgeon of barely noticeable pine. It's neither a masculine nor feminine scent, and it doesn't smell anything like the Alpines or a log cabin. It's nice though, but throw isn't very good.
Apples & Oak Leaves	I like scents that are a little "different" from standard run-of-the-mill scents, and this one definitely is. It's a musty earthy slightly woodsy scent that smells a little like dirt, combined with really old brown leaves on the ground and a couple of apples. But in a good way! Kind of like Autumn Citrus & Cinnamon below, but after the leaves and apples have been sitting on the ground for a few extra weeks. Throw is mediocre.
Autumn Citrus & Cinnamon	Slightly woodsy apple with a smidgeon of spice (cinnamon and clove I think). It's not a very sweet apple, almost like an overripe older apple towards the end of the fall season. I think I also detect a tiny bit of orange perhaps? Nice scent with good throw.
Brandied Cherries	Sweet maraschino cherries with a hint of something rich like vanilla or sweet cream. Unfortunately throw was very light.
Cranberry Chutney	This really smells like cranberry sauce! Sweet, tart and strong, with great throw.
Fall Festival	Just another standard cinnamony fall scent. Nothing really stands out. Mediocre throw.
Ginger Spiced Biscotti	A hint of ginger and a spice cake note, but no throw. And there's a burnt chemical note up close when melting.
Glazed Pear	Fresh sweet pear. A little "fake" but still good. Very good throw.
Marshmallow Graham	This one smells amazing! I can smell the salty sweetness of the graham cracker and the richness of the marshmallow. Excellent throw, but scent faded in less than 2 hours.
Oh My, Pumpkin Pie	I smelled this one in the store but didn't buy it. It smelled like a standard pumpkin pie fragrance, but not as good as other brands I have.
Pecan Pie	Nutty caramely bakery scent. Good throw.
Pumpkin Brittle	Rich salty sweet caramel with a barely noticeable fall spice note. Great throw.
Rosemary & Thyme	I could not find this one, but I've heard it has a savory sage "Thanksgiving stuffing" note rather than lemony thyme.
Sugared Walnuts	On cold sniff this has an unappealing bitter note. Melted, that weird bitterness filled the room and resulted in a combination of a rich burnt sugar... and spoiled food or stinky feet. I get that they were going for that slight bitterness of the walnut, but it didn't work. This was awful.
