Aldi Wax Melt Reviews - Spring 2019

This scent has been around for years, and it's made by a lot of other wax melt companies. But I like Aldi version the best. It's a bold sweet orange scent but it's not citrusy, and I detect the slight tartness of the cranberry. It might also have a smidgen of a red berry type note. Fantastic scent! This is the same scent as Hanna's Candle Cranberry Mandarin (not confirmed by Hanna's). Looking at the notes, I don't smell any spices at all, but I guess the other fruit note I'm detecting is the apple (barely noticeable). And red currant is the first note, so no wonder I love this scent so much. Currant is a fig-like soapy scent with a tiny bit of tartness, a hint of a perfumey note, and a smidgen of a berry note with hardly any sweetness. It's a very sophisticated scent that, when mixed with other scents, gives them a classy note.

This is different from any other laundry type scent I've smelled, and it's a completely different scent from their Fresh Cotton Blossom scent from January 2018. It smells like musk with vanilla and baby powder, although it does have a bit of a laundry note. It's not a biting laundry scent at all, and unlike most fabric softener scents, it's not overly sweet or overly "laundry". It's a very pleasant scent.

It's the same scent as Hanna's Candle Jasmine Breeze Aromabeads Singles (not confirmed by Hanna's). Hanna's makes Aldi melts, so it makes sense. You can buy the AromaBead Singles on Hanna's website for one, or 10-pack. These are only 1 oz. each, so if you love the scent, go for the 10 pack!

This is the same scent that came out in January 2018. It's an authentic lavender scent. It has a hint of sweetness, but it's not a sweet, powdery lavender scent. I don't smell thyme, but there may be a hint of eucalyptus, and it does have a little bit of a medicinal note, but not overwhelming. It's a perfect lavender scent. If you prefer a sweeter lavender, mix it with a floral, perfumey, or vanilla scent. If you like spa lavender, mix it with lemon, mint, or pine. Looking at the scent notes, I don't smell jasmine, rose or musk. I believe that, like last year's Lavender & Thyme scent from Aldi, this is the same scent as Hanna's Candle Lavender and Thyme (not confirmed by Hanna's).

This is a sweet watery scent with a soft warm ambery note and a hint of musk. It has a little bit of a soapy note, and it's not a perfumey scent. But it also has a richness and a bit of a foodie note, maybe vanilla or even caramel, that's a tiny bit nauseating and just "too much" when mixed with the freesia. Looking at the notes, I don't see anything foodie.

This is the same scent, with the same notes, as Hanna's Candle Tranquil Waters and Calm Waters from the Aldi Fresh Trio from 2018. But this scent originated from Mainstays Peaceful Waters from Walmart (manufactured by Hanna's Candle).

It's also very similar to, but not the same scent as, Aldi South Seas from Spring 2018. But it's NOT the same scent as Aldi Tranquil Ocean Water from Spring 2016.
