These apple scented wax melts just came out in the first week of August 2017. Who knew there were so many different types of apple scents?


Apple Jack Cider

Notes: Golden delicious apple simmered with spicy cinnamon, fresh clove bud and sparkling orange zest.

My Review:
This smells like sweet apple juice with just a smidgeon of cinnamon, or a light apple cider. It's not a harsh mulling spices fall type scent. Although it's a slightly cinnamony apple scent, it's completely different from the Granny Smith Apple scent.

Throw: Excellent, 4 out of 5



Country Green Apples

Notes: Crisp, pure apple sparkles with zesty lemon accents, iced pear, and a touch of musk

My Review:
This is a fresh raw apple peel scent. It's not overly sweet. It's similar to the Benditaroma Abundance scent, which is also a fresh natural apple scent, but they have different notes. Abundance smells even more authentic, is not as sweet, and has a smidgeon of a "dirt" note (in a good way).

Throw: Good, 3 out of 5



Granny Smith Apple

Notes: Spiced apples, sugared cinnamon, lemon zest and clove bud blended with flaky crust and candied ginger.

My Review:
A very sweet, warm, cinnamony apple like the apple filling of an apple pie.

Throw: Excellent, 3.5 or 4 out of 5



Ozark Honeycrisp Apple

Notes: Crunchy orchard fresh McIntosh apple, green grape and neroli

My Review:
This is not a fresh crisp apple scent, but it's definitely apple, maybe a little bit of a fake apple, but it smells very nice. I think I detect a slight berry note, which makes this smell different from other apple scented wax I've smelled.

Throw: Good, 3 out of 5



Sweet Candy Apples

Notes: Baked cinnamon apples with shaved ginger, nutmeg, clove, allspice and vanilla

My Review:
This is not really a candy apple scent. It's a clove scent with an apple note. A nice warm fall or winter scent! This might be the same as their Warm Apple Pie scent, as the notes are very similar.

Throw: Very good, 3 or 3.5 out of 5



Warm Caramel Apples

Notes: Caramel, English toffee, and a touch of warm maple swirl with tart green apple and pear.

My Review:
The scent name pretty much describe it, apples and sweet caramel. It has a little bit of a candy note. Yummy! Same scent as Aldi Salted Caramel from January 2017 (http://www.scentedwaxreviews.com/2017/01/aldi-huntington-home-scented-wax-melts-review.html). Hanna's Candles makes the Aldi melts.

Throw: Excellent, 4 out of 5

Aldi (Huntington Home)
Scented Wax Review:
Fall Scents


Aldi Wax (Huntington Home Scented Wax) - Fall Scents
Click on image to view larger photo

Aldi brought out 4 fall scents a few days ago, at an unbeatable price of $1.69. The brand is "Huntington Home", and this brand is made by another wax brand exclusively for Aldi. The company that makes Huntington Home is one of the largest scented wax companies, and their wax is top quality with great scents and throw (I can't provide the company due to the agreement between Aldi and the company).

The labels say "soy blend", which is unusual as the company that makes them uses paraffin, so they may be starting to get into soy. Even so, these look and act like paraffin (hard wax, not greasy), so the soy content must be small. Which is good, as soy tends to not throw as well as paraffin.

This is a typical clamshell size of 2.5 oz. Each clamshell has 3 rows of wax in it, but if you turn the package over you'll see that each row is scored into 4-block sections of 0.2 oz. each. So if you normally use one block of wax from a regular 6-block clamshell, you'll use TWO blocks from the Aldi wax. They're scored this way so you can mix and match scents; you can put one 0.2 block from one scent into the warmer with another 0.2 block from another scent.

Here are the 4 available scents:
  • Candied Apple
    This smells like fresh, authentic apple coated in sweet candy (not caramel), just like the name suggests! Throw is fantastic.
  • Falling Leaves
    Woodsy apple on cold sniff, but when melted it smells like apple cider and old apples on the ground mixed with brown leaves (in a good way). It's very similar to Sonoma Falling Leaves, but with a slightly more woodsy note. Throw is fantastic.
  • Frosted Pumpkin Roll
    On cold sniff, this just smells like yet another cinnamon fall scent. But when melted, it's a deliciously rich cinnamon sugar with a hint of bakery. Throw is fantastic.
  • Sweet Vanilla Bean
    This one is a subtle vanilla with a distinct chemical note on cold sniff. When melted the chemical note disappears, and it smells more like a vanilla cupcake than straight vanilla. But the throw was very weak for me, as is sometimes the case with vanilla scents.
