Aldi Wax Melt Reviews - Summer 2020

This smells like old soap to me, which sometimes smells quite good. But this scent is very bitter and fake and smells kind of "burnt" to me. I'm not a fan of this one. It's the same scent as Hanna's Candle Peony Rose Bouquet as well as Aldi Peony & Rose Bouquet from January 2018.

This is the same scent as Hanna's Candle Carmine Rose (and Hanna's discontinued Peony Fields scent). It's definitely a rose scent, quite authentic too, definitely not a sweet pea scent. I like it!

According to the scent notes, this is the same scent as Hanna's Candle Cherry Blossoms, which I really liked and described as a very sweet floral with a girly perfume note. This scent, however, while still a fruity floral, is not quite as sweet, not all that perfumey, and has a waxy note. It doesn't seem to be the same scent (I no longer have Hanna's Cherry Blossoms to compare).

This "might" be the same scent as Cucumber Melon from the Aldi Melon trio from May 2017, although with that scent I did detect a subtle melon note, but that scent also had very weak throw. I barely smell anything on cold sniff or when melted, definitely no melon, but more of the aloe and cucumber. It's a very bland, watery, slightly waxy scent that really doesn't have much scent to begin with, even if it had been a strong thrower.

A very fresh, green, herbal scent with garden mint. It smells like a slightly savory, soapy version of the Eucalyptus Mint scent. Very nice!

Fantastic scent of garden mint (with a bit of nasal clearing effect) with a clean, very slightly sweet note (which may be the lavender although I'm not sure if I detect the lavender per se). It's very similar to ScentSationals Zen, but not quite as sweet and without the hint of laundry that Zen has. It's the same scent as Hanna's Candle Eucalyptus Mint.

A combination of coconut and lime, kind of in equal amounts, similar to ScentSationals Coconut Vacay, and also a bit like Better Homes & Gardens Island Coconut Lime.

A nice sweet pineapple scent that smells like pineapple juice. It may also have a hint of another fruit in it. Oh, there it is in the scent notes, "fruity punch". This does have kind of a tropical punch vibe. I love this one, despite the fact that it's pineapply and I'm usually not a fan of pineapple.

This is the same scent as as Mango Papaya Sorbet from the Aldi May 2019 Tropical Trio, and Hanna's Candle Mango Papaya Sorbet. This smells like pineapple and tropical fruits, very slightly sour but also a bit zesty like it has a hint of lemon in the background. I like it!

A nice standard laundry scent that smells like laundry detergent, but not a harsh detergent, and it's not overly sweet. It's the same scent as Aldi Crisp Cotton from January 2020, and I think it's the same scent as Aldi Fresh Cotton Blossom from spring 2018 and Hanna's Candle Fresh Cotton Blossom. It's NOT the same as Aldi Fresh Linen from spring 2019.

This is the same scent as Aldi Sandy Beach from May 2019, and Hanna's Candy Sandy Beach. I love this scent! It smells like a combination of coconut, sweet tropical fruit nectar, and a bit of Coppertone Suntan oil.

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 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 as Aldi Sea Salt Rain from January 2020, Aldi Tranquil Waters from January 2019, Hanna's Candle Tranquil Waters, and the old Mainstays Peaceful Waters.
