This is a review of Sonoma Fall 2015 wax melts from Kohl's. In general, I get mixed results in terms of throw with Sonoma, but I was very pleased with the throw of these scents (like most brands, their Fall and Winter scents tend to throw better than their Spring and Summer scents). I like most of these scents.
Cozy Home
I smell nuts, like chestnuts, slightly smoky and woodsy, with a hint of sweetness and smidgen of cinnamon and bakery I think, but barely noticeable. Very nice!
Fall in Love
Notes are apple, pear and cedar. But I smell earthy pineapple with a woodsy note and very slight sweetness. I "think" it's pineapple; it does have a slight tropical scent to me. It's different, but I'm not sure if I like it.
Falling Leaves
Crisp green apple, orchard pear, oakwood and harvest acorn
Earthy and woodsy with a hint of sweet apple, a slight "green" note, and a hint of spice. This is more of a crisp clean scent rather than a warm spicy scent.
Garden Mums
This is not really a fall scent. It's a mossy slightly floral scent. The slight sourness of the moss tempers some of the sweetness of the floral to make a scent that really does smell like a chrysanthemum, maybe one you'd find in a greenhouse that has just been cleaned (it has a slight soapy note, but it works).
Harvest Moon
This is a nice simple smoky wood scent. No sweetness at all, and I don't detect any other notes. Fantastic!
Pumpkin Ale
I wouldn't call this ale, because it doesn't smell like beer at all (and that's a good thing!). It does, however, smell like pumpkin soda. Pumpkin with a little bit of spice, a slight woodsy note, and fizzy soda with a very subtle citrus. I really like this one, as it's different from all the other pumpkin and fall scents out there.
Pumpkin Donut
Just like it sounds, pumpkin with a little bit of spice, and sweet dough. The dough really does smell like a donut rather than just a general "vanilla" scent. I can almost smell a faint yeasty note!
Pumpkin Farm
Very similar to Pumpkin Patch, but a little sweeter, and no apple or woodsy notes. There's something else in there, but I can't tell what it is. Maybe a "green" or zesty note, or cinnamon, but very faint.
Pumpkin Harvest
This is a sweet juicy fresh apple scent with fall spices mixed in. Not too much spice to be overwhelming though. I don't smell much pumpkin in this one, and that's a good thing.
Pumpkin Latte
Creamy brown sugar and sweet pumpkin mixed with clove and cinnamon
This one is amazingly strong. It was closed and wrapped in a bag in my car, and my whole car smelled like coffee. Throw was fantastic; I could smell it throughout the house and even outside the house with the windows open. This is a very creamy intense coffee scent with almost a buttery note. I'm not sure if I smell pumpkin per se, maybe very slight with a tiny bit of spice, but barely noticeable. This is an amazing coffee scent, one of my favorites.
Pumpkin Patch
This is similar to Pumpkin Harvest but I do smell the pumpkin much more than the apple, which is in the background. It's not as sweet, and has a slight woodsy note.
Woodland Trail
This is a slightly woodsy scent with a zesty herbal note and maybe a hint of citrus, but not the lemon scent of Vineyard Walk. Maybe a camphor or eucalyptus note. It smells a little medicinal to me, but not in a bad way. It's "interesting".
