Aldi wax melts (Huntington Home brand) are made by Hanna's Candle. Aldi comes out with 4 scents three times a year (Spring, Summer and Fall… no Winter). The wax melts are very good quality because they're made by Hanna's!

Fall Nights

I thought this was the same scent as Hanna's Candle's Ember Glow (notes for Ember Glow are spiced wood, juniper, cinnamon, patchouli and vanilla), but now I'm not so sure. Like Ember Glow, it's a raw wood scent like pencil shavings, with leather, maybe oud wood, and possibly a smidgen of patchouli and sweet vanilla. Strangely, leather is not in the scent notes, and I don't smell any juniper/pine or cinnamon notes. Smelling Fall Nights and Ember Glow side by side, if they're not exactly the same scent, they're very close. Ember Glow is slightly more "intense", with the oud note that might be missing in Fall Nights (oud is a deep resinous tree sappy woodsy scent). Fantastic scent, and I think it's the best of the 4 new Aldi scents.

Throw: Mild, 3 out of 5


Maple Pumpkin

This smells like pumpkin pie, but slightly richer and sweeter, with a slight maple note and maybe even a smidgen of walnuts. Although when melted, it's really just a pumpkin pie scent, but a good one. It's not the same scent as Pumpkin Brulee from last year. I also don't think it's the same scent as Maple Pumpkin from September 2016 (https://www.scentedwaxmeltreviews.com/2016/09/aldi-huntington-home-scented-wax-melts-fall-2016.html), as I described that as more of an apple cider scent.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5


Plumberry

I thought this might be the same scent as Tuscan Vineyard from January 2017, which I described as grape juice or cheap wine with a waxy vinyl note. This is not the same scent. It does smell like grapes, but there's another fruit in there which may indeed be plum. It does not have a waxy or vinyl note either. I'm not a fan of grape scents, but I kind of like this one as it's unique and different from the usual fall type scents.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5


Warm Apple Pie

Notes: A warm blend of fresh-picked apples, dashed with spicy accents of warm nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, and allspice over a base of brown sugar and vanilla cream

A fake apple scent that smells a little like apple potpourri, rather than apple pie. It also has a smidgen of tartness that makes it smell a little like apple cider. Even though it's fake, it smells kind of nice. I believe it's the same scent as Warm Apple Pie from last year (https://www.scentedwaxmeltreviews.com/2017/10/aldi-wax-melts-reviews-fall-2017-huntington-home.html).
And I also believe it's the same as Hanna's Candle's Warm Apple Pie scent (not confirmed by Hanna's Candle), which can be found at http://www.candlemart.com.

Throw: Medium, 3.5 out of 5

Aldi Huntington Home Wax Melts Scent Review - September 2016

Aldi Huntington Home Wax Melts Scent Review - September 2016

Click photo to view larger image

This is a scent review of the four Fall 2016 Aldi Huntington Home Wax Melt scents that came out the second week of September 2016. Aldi puts out 4 wax melt scents in the spring, 4 in the summer, and 4 in the fall (but only candles in December for the holidays, no melts).

This is a video review of the scents only. I did not buy these because they're very similar to other wax melt scents I already have. So I cannot comment on the throw.

Huntington Home scented wax melts and candles are made by Hanna's Candles, the same company that makes the newer style Ashland melts at Michael's Arts & Crafts, and also the Mainstays triple melts at Walmart (which were discontinued last year). Aldi brought these new scents out in the second week of February, and they'll be available until they sell out (generally only a few weeks).

Aldi (Huntington Home)Scented Wax Review:Fall Scents

Aldi (Huntington Home)
Scented Wax Review:
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.
