AmbiEscents Scented Wax Melts from Bed Bath and Beyond – Spring 2017 Review – Part 2

AmbiEscents Scented Wax Melts from Bed Bath and Beyond – Spring 2017 Review – Part 2

These 5 new AmbiEscents scents are all dupes of ScentSationals scents. If you don't have the scents that they are dupes for, and can't find them at Walmart, then you can buy them at Bed Bath and Beyond. But remember that AmbiEscents scents are $2.99, and ScentSationals scents are $2.00 at Walmart. So it only makes "sense" to buy these AmbiEscents dupes if you can't find the duplicate scent at Walmart. As of this writing, I believe ScentSationals Apple Wood, Woodland Magic, and Zen can still be found at Walmart. I'm not sure about Rock Candy. And I think Himalayan Pink Salt might be the only one that you can't find at Walmart, since it was a limited edition that came out last year.

I did a review of 5 other Spring 2017 AmbiEscents wax melts in March, at http://www.scentedwaxreviews.com/2017/03/ambiescents-scented-wax-melts-bed-bath-beyond-spring-2017.html.

Apple & Oud
This is the same scent as ScentSationals "Apple Wood" which came out in February 2017. You can read that review at http://www.scentedwaxreviews.com/2017/02/scentsationals-spring-2017-scented-wax-melts-review.html.

Himalayan Rock Salt
This is the same scent as ScentSationals "Himalayan Pink Salt" which came out February 2016 and has since been discontinued. You can read that review at http://www.scentedwaxreviews.com/2016/01/scentsationals-scented-wax-melts-early-spring-2016.html.

Pine Meadow
This is the same scent as ScentSationals "Woodland Magic" which came out in February 2017. You can read that review at http://www.scentedwaxreviews.com/2017/02/scentsationals-spring-2017-scented-wax-melts-review.html.

Sugar
This is the same scent as ScentSationals "Rock Candy" which has been around for several years. It's a very sweet fake berry hard candy scent that smells great, and a lot of people love it. Throw is excellent.

Zen Garden
This is the same scent as ScentSationals "Zen", a beloved scent that has been  out for years. The notes for ScentSationals Zen are "Blend of eucalyptus, spearmint, white pine, Egyptian musk and smooth sandalwood". To me it smells like a subtle laundry scent with a smidgeon of spearmint, and throw is excellent.

AmbiEscents Scented Wax Melts from Bed Bath and Beyond – Spring 2017 Review

Watch video below:

Eucalyptus & Herbs

This is pure menthol eucalyptus. It smells a lot like Vicks Vaporub, but not as pungent. There may also be some pure mint in the background, but this is not a sweet scent at all. I don't detect a herbal scent, although the mint might be the herbs. This one has a strong sinus clearing effect from close up, although not really from far away. This one is great for melting when you have a cold or allergies due to its sinus clearing effect, although it would be best to put the warmer close to the bed or couch to get the maximum effect. Throw was not good, maybe a 2 out of 5, although the scent itself is not a strong scent.

In The Clouds

This is the same scent as the spring 2016 ScentSationals Day Dream scent. It's a nice green plant type floral, not overly sweet like a flowery floral, but more like sweet green grass with a little bit of jasmine wafting in the air. It also has a hint of spicy perfume, just enough to make it "not quite" a floral, but somewhere between a floral and a perfume. Throw was very good, around a 3 or 3.5 out of 5.

Laundry Basket

This one says "Odor Eliminator" on the label. It's a sweet, pleasant laundry scent, but not a biting laundry detergent scent like Better Homes & Gardens Line Dried Linen. It's more like a warm cozy fabric softener scent. It's not a dupe of any other Better Homes & Gardens or ScentSationals laundry type scents that I have (including the new Better Homes & Gardens Spring 2017 scent Sea Spray Linen). Throw was excellent, 4 out of 5.

Lemongrass & Peppermint

A lovely soapy lemongrass scent with a mint note. This is a relaxing spa scent, and the mint is subtle. It's not a sweet peppermint, nor is it spearmint (no "toothpaste" notes), but more of a fresh "natural" mint. This scent is similar to the old discontinued ScentSationals Sparkling Herbs scent, but with more lemongrass. And it's nothing like ScentSationals Zen, or the new ScentSationals Serenity Spa. This one is a "Scent Monster" that takes over the whole house, 5 out of 5 throw!

Sparkling Waters

This one says "Odor Eliminator" on the label. It's light on cold sniff. It smells like a combination of a laundry scent and a fresh air scent. It's not a biting laundry scent like Better Homes & Gardens Line Dried Linen, and it's different from the new AmbiEscents Laundry Basket scent above. That scent is more sweet and bright, whereas this one is more neutral, like towels that were cleaned a few days ago but still have that slight laundry scent. Throw was good, around a 3 out of 5. The scent itself is not strong, so it's more like a weak scent with a very good throw.

AmbiEscents Scented Wax Melts Review - Spring 2016

AmbiEscents Scented Wax Melts Review - Spring 2016

Click photo to view larger image

This is a review of 6 new AmbiEscents scented wax melts from April 2016 at Bed Bath & Beyond.

Green Aloe
This is an authentic aloe scent, but I'm not sure why you'd want your home to smell like aloe. It smells like a bitter cucumber. Cucumber scents are fresh and watery, with a hint of floral. This Green Aloe scent is fresh and watery, but no sweetness at all, and it has a slight earthy bitter note. I'm not crazy about this scent, but the throw is excellent. It might smell better mixed with something else, like lemon, floral, or a fresh air/watery scent.

Strawberry Macaroon
This smells like strawberry milk with a vanilla bakery note and a barely detectable smidgeon of almond. It's a very nice scent, and not overly sweet. It's almost exactly the same scent as ScentSationals Pink Velvet which came out a few months ago, but there are subtle differences, and I believe the main difference is that the fruit in Strawberry Macaroon is strawberry, and the fruit in Pink Velvet is raspberry. The fruit notes in both scents are in the background rather than the forefront. Pink Velvet has a very slight tartness that I don't smell in Strawberry Macaroon, and Strawberry Macaroon is slightly sweeter with more milkiness and less almond. Throw is very good.

Citrus Pineapple
This just smells like straight pineapple, although it's not a heavy annoying pineapple. It's light and fresh, but I don't smell any other notes, nothing citrusy or fresh air or additional tropical fruits. Like most pineapple scents, the throw is excellent.

Into the Woods
This smells like a raw "pencil shavings" type of wood with a sweet, warm, perfumey scent in the background. And although there may be just a hint of creamy vanilla (which might actually be sandalwood), it's not a ScentSationals Vanilla Woods dupe at all. Unfortunately throw is very weak, but would probably do well in a very small room or bathroom.

Beach Front
This is a fantastic and pleasant scent. It smells like coconut vanilla perfume, if such a thing existed. The first note I smell is coconut, but it's not a tropical coconut, and there's no pineapple or other fruits in it. Then I smell a slightly floral perfumey note with a barely detectable warm cashmere/amber note. Then there's a creamy yummy vanilla in the background. It smells incredible. It's similar to ScentSationals Passion Fruit Coconut which came out around February 2016. They both have a creamy coconut note, but Passion Fruit Coconut is not as sweet and creamy, and the perfume note is way in the background, and it has a very slight tropical note. Although I like both scents, I like the AmbiEscents Beach Front much more. Like Passion Fruit Coconut, unfortunately the throw on Beach Front is on the weak side, but it's such a nice scent that I almost don't care. It would do best in a smaller room.

Cherry Blossom
This is a typical cherry blossom scent, and it's very nice. It's a light floral with just a hint of cherry. It's very weak on cold sniff, so I knew the throw would not be good, as is the case with pretty much every Cherry Blossom scent I've tried, no matter what brand. And the throw was terrible. I could barely smell it. It might do okay in a very small bathroom.

AmbiEscents Scented Wax Reviews - September 2015 New Scents

AmbiEscents Scented Wax Review - September 2015 New Scents

This is a review of AmbiEscents scented wax by ScentSationals, NEW September 2015 Scents from Bed Bath & Beyond. Fall scents are not included in this review (I'm all burned out on fall scents!)

Vanilla Buttercream
Super sweet yummy white vanilla buttercream frosting. This one makes my teeth hurt, it's so sweet! Excellent throw, and lasted an entire day. This is great on its own, but would probably work really well mixed with fruity or citrus scents, or even baby powder or amber.

Yogurt Parfait
A rich milky slightly tangy scent, similar to creme fraiche, with a slight raspberry note. This smells fantastic! When melted, I can't smell the raspberry or tangy notes, and it smells more like vanilla buttercream. Very good throw.

Smokey Mountain Mist
I expected this to have an herbal, smoky, woodsy, or pine type scent based on the name. But on cold sniff it's a sweet clean watery scent with a hint of sour lemon. Same when melted, but lemon note becomes more of a clean kitchen lemon, although not nearly as lemony as ScentSationals "Kitchen Sunshine" scent. It's a very nice clean happy scent with very good throw, and it smells like a fresh day with the windows open.

Pink Freesia
Very nice light floral with baby powder and lemon, but not overly sweet. Unfortunately, throw is not so good.

Pink Grapefruit
On cold sniff, smells more like sweet pink lemonade but not a very tart lemon, maybe a slight clean kitchen lemon note. Melted, it's fantastic. It smells like a sweet rich slightly smoky lemon, but not a bakery, kitchen or alcoholic beverage lemon. It almost has a slight balsam or spruce note. Excellent throw.

Brazilian Teakwood
This smells like cedar but not quite as sweet, and a slight sandalwood note. Very nice wood scent without any smokiness. Throw is not great, which is often the case with sandalwood scents in general.

Hazelnut Macchiato
This smells like rich coffee buttercream. It's very buttery, but not a bakery scent, and I don't detect any hazelnut notes. I believe this is the same scent as ScentSationals Iced Coffee. Throw is fantastic.
