This is a review of Big Lots (Living Colors) Wax Melts from April 2017. Most of these scents in this lot smell fantastic, but I wish the throw were stronger.
Bamboo & Willow
A fantastic scent, like a hothouse gardenia, rich and intense, but not overly sweet. Also smells like an old-fashioned perfume. There's a faint "green" note in there also that keeps it from being too sweet. It's similar to Sonoma Bamboo from Kohl's.
English Wallflower
Fantastic scent that smells like sweet tropical fruit or maybe a very sweet apricot, mixed with a light floral note. Very nice, and not too fruity or too flowery. When melted, I smelled more of the fruit, but within an hour it started to put off a little bit of a cat pee note.
Floral Rain
A bright artificial watery scent that smells like a bathroom air freshener. This is the one I thought I was going to like the least because of that artificial note, but I actually like it a lot.
Hydrangea Blooms
This smells a lot like the Bamboo & Willow scent, a nice gardenia scent, but this one doesn't have the intense hothouse note that Bamboo & Willow has. This smells a bit like White Shoulders perfume, but it's not overly sweet. Melted, however, it smells like an authentic lily-of-the-valley flower. Very nice!
Stone Garden
A nice jasmine or gardenia scent, and not overly sweet. There's another note way in the background, maybe a fresh air or watery note, or perhaps a smidgen of laundry, that tempers some of the sweetness. Actually, it smells a bit like Coppertone suntan oil! Very nice!
Water Lily
This is a fresh watery scent with a little floral. It also smells like body wash or shampoo. A great scent for the bathroom.
Wild Poppies
Fantastic scent, like a fresh fruity floral herbal shampoo.
