The new Hanna's Candle L'Aroma Therapie Essential Oil Collection of candles and wax melts can be found on the Hanna's Candle (Candlemart) website at https://candlemart.com/collections/laroma-therapie-essential-oil-collection. They use real essential oils instead of artificial scents. The melts are $4.99, rather than the $2.49 for their regular wax melts. And the clamshells are round; in fact, they're the same round clamshells that Goose Creek Candle uses. I really like these scents. They're authentic and calming, and they make you feel like you're relaxing at an expensive spa!



Eucalyptus

This is a pure eucalyptus scent that smells a lot like Vicks VapoRub, but not quite as intense. I definitely smell the menthol. It's perfect to melt when you have a cold or allergies due to the sinus clearing effect (although you only get that effect from close up). I love this scent!

Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5



Lavender

This is a true, authentic lavender scent. It even has a strong nasal clearing effect from up close, so it may have a bit of eucalyptus in it. It's not a sweet lavender, but it's also not a harsh or medicinal lavender. It smells like fresh lavender right from the plant. Very nice and relaxing!

Throw: Medium, 3.25 out of 5



Lavender & Chamomile

Chamomile supposedly has an apple-like scent, and I think I smell a smidgen of that. But I detect more of an orange note, although not an overly citrusy orange or grapefruit type note. And it also has the lavender note which is very slightly sweeter than the regular Lavender scent, with a brighter, cleaner note. It also has a tiny bit of that sinus clearing effect like the regular Lavender has.

Throw: Mild, 2.75 out of 5



Peppermint & Spearmint

This is pure spearmint with the sweetness of peppermint, and it's fantastic. It's not a sweet candy type mint scent like candy cane though. This is one of those scents that doesn't have a very strong throw, but I can smell it subtly around the house. When I walk into the room, it doesn't hit me in the face the way strong throwing scents would, which is actually a good thing because it's a strong scent, and aromatherapy scents are supposed to be more gentle.

Comparing it to the new ScentSationals Inner Zen, that scent is more of an authentic garden spearmint with just a hint of sweetness. This scent is definitely sweeter, with the peppermint note, although it has more of a "toothpaste" mint vibe than Inner Zen, because of the sweetness of the spearmint. I love both scents.

Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5

Spring 2018 was the first year that Better Homes & Gardens came out with the new "Aromatherapy" melts in these oval clamshells at Walmart (reviewed HERE). 8 new scents were released at that time. This year, only 4 new Better Homes & Gardens Aromatherapy scents were released.



Bergamot & Sage

- https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-and-Gardens-Scented-Wax-Cubes-Bergamot-and-Sage/283610031
A zesty slightly herbal cologney scent with a salty note. It's savory and just a little sweet. When melted there's also a tiny bit of a soapy note and possibly a barely detectable smidgen of pine. I really like this scent.
Throw: Mild, 2.75 out of 5

Frankincense & Patchouli

- https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-and-Gardens-Scented-Wax-Cubes-Frankincense-and-Patchouli-6-pack/461140120
Notes: Gently spiced olibanum, warm patchouli, and woody vetiver reveal notes of patchouli and ambered floralcy
This is a dupe of so many other scents, including ScentSationals Dark Musk (from Meijer), ScentSationals Barton Springs from H.E.B., and ScentSationals Date Night duo's Moonlit Walk. It's a super rich men's cologne scent unlike any others I've smelled. It's warm, with an ambery note, and a barely detectable hint of smokiness. But what sets it apart is a rich almost foodie quality that might be a hint of blackberry, vanilla, and/or caramel. It may also have a smidgen of patchouli way in the background. My description doesn't do it justice. It's an incredible scent. And it lasted all day, at least 8 hours.
Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5

Jasmine & Ylang Ylang
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-gardens-Bhg-Jasmine-Ylang-Ylang-Eo-Infused-Fra/604072962
On cold sniff I smell more of the jasmine and even a honeysuckle or orange blossom note, which smells great. But when melted, it takes on an odd slightly bitter herbal note with a smidgen of cinnamon or spiciness. I guess that's supposed to be the Ylang, but it smells nothing like Ylang. I would still classify it as a floral, but it has that odd herbal note that I'm not sure I like.
Throw: Medium, 3.25 out of 5

Sandalwood & Vanilla
- https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-2-5-oz-Sandalwood-Vanilla-Scented-Wax-Melts-4-Pack/197726629
- https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-and-Gardens-Scented-Wax-Cubes-Sandalwood-and-Vanilla/962670458
Notes: Warm sandalwood with notes of dark amber softened with vanilla
This is the same scent as ScentSationals Exotic Sandalwood from Meijer, and AmbiEscents Sandalwood Vanilla. Sandalwood smells like light milky wood, and I think I detect a little bit of that in this scent. I don't really smell the vanilla, but there is a smidgen of sweetness which may indeed be the vanilla. But the main note is oud, which is a deep resinous tree woodsy scent that can have a sour note, which this scent does have, but not nearly enough to ruin the scent. Amber adds a warm note, and I'm not sure if I smell that. It's a fantastic scent, one of my favorites.
Throw: Medium, 3.25 out of 5
