Kmart & Sears Wax Melt Reviews (MVP Group Intl.)
March 12, 2016
This is a review of Kmart and Sears wax melts. Kmart and Sears carry wax melts made by MVP Group Intl. MVP Group makes several brands of candles and scented wax melts, including Mainstays for Walmart, Living Colors for Big Lots, Sonoma for Kohl's, Colonial Candle, Burt's Bees, Red Shed for Tractor Supply, True Living and other dollar store brands, and more. The Kmart and Sears wax melts are soft and messy (like MVP Group's other wax brands).
Kmart and Sears are CLOSED, but some of these melts may be found on the
Colonial Candle website.
Amber Woods
I didn't care for the scent. It's woodsy, but there's a chemical note in it.
Caramel Cream
This is a nice strong sweet creamy coffee scent with caramel undertones. It's probably a scent they've used for one of their other brands, since "coffee" is not in the scent name.
Cinnamon Vanilla
This is a yummy sweet creamy buttery cinnamon scent. It smells more like cinnamon ice cream than bakery cinnamon, because of a milky note.
Eucalyptus Spa
This one smells a lot like
ScentSationals Zen, with just a little less sweetness. Zen is a sweet relaxing scent with a smidgen of spearmint, but also a barely detectable hint of sandalwood and possibly musk that tempers the spearmint so that it doesn't smell "toothpastey".
Fresh Linens
I can't even describe this scent properly. It does have kind of a laundry scent, but there's also a strong chemical floral note that I can't put my finger on. I didn't care for this scent. It smells like
At Home Clean Linen.
Ginger Macaroon
Fantastic scent, with a super sweet almond note, almost like marzipan. I didn't smell ginger.
Grandma's Sugar Cookies
A vanilla cookie scent, not overly sweet. Actually smells more like a donut. Nice scent, but pretty standard.
Jasmine Vanilla
I smell both floral (not sure if it's jasmine) and vanilla, but there's also a cashmere/amber note in there that gives this scent an elegant quality (an upscale type scent like a Tyler Mixer Melt).
Lavender Lilac
I smell mostly generic lilac, with a hint of lavender. When melted, the lavender notes came out a little more, but it's still mostly lilac.
Papaya Guava
Peachy type scent with a hint of tropical fruit and a sweet peach nectar note. Very nice!
Paradise Petal
This smells just like a tea rose. Very nice scent!
Sea Salt
This is more of a tropical scent than a spa scent, but it does have some spa type notes. It smells a lot like Eucalyptus Spa, but with a slight tropical coconut note. The tropical note was a bit annoying to me, so I didn't really like this scent.
Sugared Apples
This smells fantastic. At first I thought it was a fake apple because it doesn't smell "quite" like apple. But when I closed my eyes and sniffed, I realized it's actually pear with a very slight bakery note, like pie crust. There may also be a very slight hint of cinnamon. And it's not overly sweet. It smells like slightly tart pears baked in pie crust, but there are some other notes I can't identify that make it very unique, possibly a smidgen of cantaloupe which I don't normally like, although it does make this scent slightly nauseating so make sure you melt it in a large room.
Sweet Pea
This is similar to other sweet pea scents I've smelled (like those from Patriot Candles, Mainstays, and ScentSationals). But this one has slightly different notes. It might have just a hint of baby powder and/or vanilla. A nice, delicate scent, perfect for a baby's room or bedroom.
Tropical Fruit
This is very similar to Papaya Guava, but a little creamier. It has a little bit of that "fake" peach note, but not enough to make me dislike this scent.
