Video


Disappointly, all of these except 2 are dupes of ScentSationals or Better Homes and Gardens scents (AmbiEscents melts are made by ScentSationals). At $2.99 each, it doesn't make sense to buy them unless you can't find the original scent at your local Walmart (where they cost $2.00).



Aloha Coconut
https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/ambiescents-trade-6-pack-aloha-coconut-scented-wax-cubes/5280171?keyword=fragrance-cubes

Notes: Candied coconut flakes, vanilla pound cake, sweet vanilla buttercream icing and sugar strands

This is the same scent as ScentSationals Coconut Vacay (which is similar to Better Homes & Gardens Island Coconut Lime, but with mostly lime and just a hint of coconut, and without the slightly soapy note that Island Coconut Lime has). The scent notes are totally wrong, as this is a coconut scent with a strong lime note, and no vanilla, cake, or buttercream notes. Actually, sniffing them side by side, they "might" be very slightly different. Aloha Coconut seems to be MORE limey than Coconut Vacay (although not as limey and sweet as Mainstays Coconut Lime).

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5



Boss Lady
https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/ambiescents-trade-6-pack-boss-lady-scented-wax-cubes/5280174?keyword=fragrance-cubes

Notes: Sweet orange zest, apple, tonka bean, jasmine, pink berry and coconut milk

This is the same scent as ScentSationals Girlfriend Night.

Throw: Strong, 3.75 out of 5



Confetti Cake

This is the same as AmbiEscents Sugar Cookies, basically just a nice sweet vanilla scent with a buttercream note (a slightly different scent from ScentSationals Vanilla Bean). In fact, my store receipt says "Sugar Cookie"!



Cotton Blossom

Fantastic laundry scent. It's definitely a dupe of another ScentSationals or Better Homes & Gardens scent, because I've smelled it several times before. It smells more like laundry detergent than a powdery fabric softener (or might be a mix of both), but it's also not a harsh detergent scent like Better Homes & Gardens Line Dried Linen.

Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5



Cotton Candy
https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/ambiescents-trade-6-pack-cotton-candy-scented-wax-cubes/5280176?keyword=ambiescents

Notes: Spun sugar

This is the same scent as ScentSationals Cotton Candy Cloud.

Throw: Medium, 3.25 out of 5



Flower Festival

This is not a floral scent at all. In fact, I think it's the same scent as last year's Better Homes & Gardens Pineapple Melon Freeze, which was a dupe of an older ScentSationals scent called Tropical Fiesta. It's a waxy, slightly sour tropical scent with a cantaloupe note, and maybe a bit of pineapple, but it's not sweet at all. I don't care for it.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5



Hawaiian Honeysuckle
https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/ambiescents-trade-6-pack-hawaiian-honeysuckle-scented-wax-cubes/5280173?keyword=fragrance-cubes

Notes: Pineapple, melon, berry, kiwi, honeysuckle, white orchid, soft musk and sheer ozone

This is the same scent as ScentSationals Honeysuckle Pineapple.

Throw: Faint, 2 out of 5



Ocean Waves
https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/ambiescents-trade-6-pack-ocean-waves-scented-wax-cubes/5280175?keyword=fragrance-cubes

Notes: Sparkling ozone, sea salt, jasmine, cyclamen, peach and warm, musk-infused woods

This is the same scent as ScentSationals Ocean TidesAmbiEscents Maui Beach (not to be confused with ScentSationals Maui Beach Waves, which is a different scent), and ScentSationals Calypso Sands. It's fantastic!

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5



Ripped Jeans
https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/ambiescents-trade-6-pack-ripped-jeans-scented-wax-cubes/5280172?keyword=fragrance-cubes

Notes: Egyptian cotton, freshly laundered denim, citron, white aldehydes, lush greens, translucent musk and warm, ozone-infused woods

This is a laundry scent, but it's different from Cotton Blossom, which is kind of cross between laundry detergent and fabric softener. This scent smells more like musk, gardenia, and a smidgen of rose, with a little bit of a fresh laundry/fabric softener note. Despite the Egyptian cotton note in this scent, it's a different scent from ScentSationals Egyptian Cotton. And despite the florals and musk, it's not a super sweet perfumey scent, because of the laundry note. I haven't smelled this one before, so I don't know if it's a dupe of another scent. Okay, the notes are exactly the same as ScentSationals Laundry Basket, which I no longer have. But I do have AmbiEscents Laundry Basket and I sniffed them side by side and they're totally different scents. But AmbiEscents Laundry Basket and ScentSationals Laundry Basket may be different scents.

Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5



Shake It Up
https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/ambiescents-trade-6-pack-shake-it-up-scented-wax-cubes/5280170?keyword=fragrance-cubes

Notes: Pink sugar cupcakes, sugared berry icing, fruit nectars and strawberries

This is the same scent as ScentSationals Unicorn Cake.

Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5



Sunlit
https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/ambiescents-trade-6-pack-sunlit-cream-scented-wax-cubes/5280169?keyword=fragrance-cubes

Notes: Juicy apple, sweet berries, pink jasmine petals and soft woods

This is the same scent as ScentSationals Celebration Time, although the scent notes for Celebration Time are, "A sweet citrus blend accented by soft greens, fresh berries, ginger sparkle with hints of white jasmine, cala lily, white woods and golden amber finished with candied vanilla and toasted sugar". I just sniffed them side by side. It's a warm ambery super sweet perfumey pear nectar scent, and it's fantastic.

Throw: Strong, 3.75 out of 5

Candy Cane Crush

A perfect candy cane scent, strong nasal clearing peppermint with a sweet slightly creamy vanilla note. This is/was also available in the Oak & Rye brand for Kroger stores.

Throw: Mild, 2.5 out of 5



Cran Apple Cider

https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/cran-apple-cider-fragrance-wax-cubes/1044748401

Notes: Fresh apples and ripe cranberries

This scent has been around for years, and it might be my #1 favorite scent ever. I have about a dozen clamshells of this scent. It's the same scent as the discontinued ScentSationals Apple Berry Crumble from 2015-2016. It's a super sweet rich apple with a berry note (strawberry rhubarb perhaps) and a smidgen of tangy cranberry, and possibly a hint of molasses and even a barely detectable smidgen of cloves. Fantastic rich, sweet, succulent scent! This is not a fall apple scent; it's too sweet, rich and warm. I also reviewed this scent in October 2015 at https://www.scentedwaxmeltreviews.com/2015/10/ambiescents-winter-holiday-christmas-scents.html.

Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5



Pine Wreath

https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/pine-wreath-seasonal-wax-fragrance-cubes/1042930730

This scent came out in October 2015 and has come back every year. It's pine with eucalyptus and maybe something a tiny bit savory like rosemary. But it also has a little bit of sweetness that I think is vanilla. I also reviewed this scent in October 2015 at https://www.scentedwaxmeltreviews.com/2015/10/ambiescents-winter-holiday-christmas-scents.html.

Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5



Rustic Woodland

https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/ambiescents-rustic-woodland-scented-wax-cubes-pack-of-6/1062207249

Notes: A winter blend of aromatic wild green bay leaf, spicy cinnamon and clove over a tobacco leaf and ebony wood undertone

This is the only brand new scent. On cold sniff this smells like Ginger Ale! It's a soft powdery cinnamon with a hint of what seems to be sweet lime. There might be a smidgen of tobacco in the background. But when melted, that lime note disappears and it smells like cinnamon with a tobacco and woodsy note, although I still detect a smidgen of that Ginger Ale note. It's nice and different.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 or 4 out of 5



Santa's Sugar Cookies

https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/santa-39-s-sugar-cookies-fragrance-wax-cubes/1042076629

A rich, warm, sweet vanilla that smells like buttercream rather than cookies. It's not an authentic scent, but that's okay because it smells great. This scent has been around for years. In the past, it had a strong throw, but this one was only medium.

Throw: Medium, 3 out of 5



Snowball Donut Holes

This scent came out in October 2016 and again in October 2017. It smells just like a donut! It's got that sweet doughy scent with a cinnamon note. It's not the same scent as ScentSationals Cider House Donuts though, since I don't smell any apple in this one. This was on sale for $.89, so I suspect it's from last year's inventory.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5



Sugar Pine

https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/sugar-pine-fragrance-wax-cubes/1040707204

A strong biting pine scent that might have a smidgen of citrus in the background that gives it a tiny bit of a Pine Sol note. This one has been around for many years, at least since 2013 or 2014, and is sometimes also available in the ScentSationals brand at other stores.

Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5

Apple Cider Donut

This scent has returned from last year. It's not very strong on cold sniff. It's a bakery scent with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a smidgen of apple cider. It smells more like pumpkin pie than a cider donut.

Throw: Medium, 3 out of 5



Apple Pumpkin Cupcake

Notes: A delectable melody of ripe golden apple and spiced pumpkin notes blended with cinnamon and sweet hints of pure vanilla

This is the same scent as ScentSationals Pumpkin Apple Muffins from August 2016. Pretty much the same scent notes too (PAM notes are "Freshly baked, brown sugar muffins full with ripe golden apple, spiced pumpkin, fresh ground cinnamon and sweet hints of pure vanilla"). It's also a dupe of the Spiced Caramel Corn side of Better Homes & Gardens "At the Fair" duo from 2015.

This is a strong, fantastic scent. It's a super rich, salty, buttery caramel corn scent with a smidgen of cinnamon apple. It's not really pumpkiny. Since Pumpkin Apple Muffins is still available at Walmart for $2 (as of October 2018), if you like this scent it makes sense to buy it there (since AmbiEscents melts are $2.99).

Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5



Ginger Pumpkin

This scent has been around for several years. This smells like pumpkin pie with ginger and extra cinnamon. It also has a slight bread note. It smells a little like gingerbread.

Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5



Spiced Pumpkin Swirl

This scent has returned from last year. It smells like pumpkin pie with extra nutmeg and cinnamon.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5



Turning Leaves

Notes: An enticing autumnal blend of aromatic fir, warm balsam, and pure cedar wrapped with crisp green apple and aromatic leaves freshened with a touch of white orchard pear and harvest berry

This scent has returned from last year. It's the only scent in this collection that's not pumpkiny! It smells like old slightly sour apples that have fallen on the ground and mixed with brown leaves, so it's a common fall scent. But there's something else in this scent that makes it a little different. It's slightly sweeter than most old apple/fallen leaves scents, and there may be a hint of pine in the background. Looking at the notes, there's the fir and balsam, the apple, the leaves, and although I don't smell berry or pear, it's those notes that are probably giving this scent a little sweetness. I like this one.

Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5



Vanilla Pumpkin Cream

Notes: A velvety melody of roasted pumpkins and spicy cinnamon blended with notes of grated nutmeg and crushed clove

On cold sniff this smells like pumpkin pie with a smidgen of buttercream and possibly caramel. Melted, however, it just smells like sweet, rich pumpkin pie.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 to 4 out of 5

AmbiEscents Wax Melts Reviews - February 2018

AmbiEscents Wax Melts Reviews - February 2018


Video:


Bed Bath & Beyond came out with new AmbiEscents wax melt scents in January 2018, which I reviewed at http://www.scentedwaxmeltreviews.com/2018/01/ashland-michaels-wax-melts-reviews-january-2018.html, but these are 5 even newer scents that may not yet be in stores as of the end of February. But look for them soon!



Beach Sand
Notes: A tropical blend of sun blushed fruit

A pineapple scent. There may be a smidgen of coconut and a hint of light beach wood, but it's primarily pineapple. It's not an overly sweet candy pineapple scent either. I'm not a fan of pineapple, but if you are, you'll probably love this one. I believe it's a dupe of some other ScentSationals or AmbiEscents scent, but I don't remember which one.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 to 4 out of 5



Blush Peonies

This is the same scent as Estate Blushing Peonies for J.C. Penney, one of my favorite scents. It's a super sweet floral perfume scent with a hint of musk, baby powder, and bubble bath, and maybe even a smidgen of cotton candy or "pink sugar". It's a little similar to Michael's Ashland Camellia & Sweet Pea (which I also love) but with slightly different notes. Definitely a little girl's scent, but I love it too!

Throw: Strong, 3.5 to 4 out of 5



Boho
Notes: Ripe fig, sweet berry, and absinthe

This is the same scent as last year's ScentSationals Midnight Summer, and the notes for that scent were figs layered with Indian jasmine, ballerina rose and green notes of absinthe. It's also the same scent as the new AmbiEscents Boho, but the notes for that scent incude sweet berry. It's a dark blackberry scent with floral, although it's not really a berry scent or a floral scent. This smells a lot like ScentSationals Blackberry Cider, although a little sweeter, with a bit of a "pink sugar" note. It also has a very subtle hint of men's cologne. A fantastic, and "sexy" scent.

Throw: Excellent, 4 out of 5



French Lavender

This one says "Odor Eliminator", so I guess it's used to cover up odors. I think I've smelled this scent before. I smell the lavender but it's not a natural lavender, more like a lavender scented cleaner, but it's also quite sweet, like vanilla and a little bit of musk. But it's not the same scent as AmbiEscents Linen & Lavender, ScentSationals Ambered Lavender, or ScentSationals Sugared Lavender Twist. It might have a hint of lemon in it, but not enough to be a spa scent. I'd say the notes are lavender, vanilla, a hint of musk, and a smidgen of lemon (or lemongrass). It smells a little like Yankee Lavender Vanilla and Scentsy Lavender Vanilla, but with maybe a smidgen of lemon or lemongrass (but it doesn't smell like Yankee Lemon Lavender).

Throw: Mild, 3 out of 5



Spa Day (#SpaDay)
Notes: A Delicate Blend of Light Floral and White Musk

This is the same scent as ScentSationals Egyptian Cotton. It's a brand new scent, but AmbiEscents already has a new Egyptian Cotton dupe called Luxe Linen (which I reviewed at http://www.scentedwaxmeltreviews.com/2018/01/ambiescents-wax-melts-reviews-january-2018.html). So this Spa Day scent might be only available in certain stores if Luxe Linen is not available.

Throw: Medium, 3 to 3.5 out of 5

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.

Watch video below:


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.

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

AmbiEscents Scented Wax Melts - 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!)

AmbiEscents Scented Wax - September 2015 New 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.
