This is a review of Sonoma wax melts from Kohl's for Summer 2018. There are some nice spring and summery type scents in this collection.
Blooming Honeysuckle
Notes:
Sweet honeysuckle, dewy greens and relaxing jasmine
A lovely honeysuckle type scent with a bit of an orange blossom/neroli note (one of my favorite scents). It's not really authentic, but more of a sweet soapy honeysuckle, but still smells fantastic. It's a dupe of their Honeysuckle scent from 2014, Hawaiian Honeysuckle from 2016, and of course Blooming Honeysuckle from 2017. So it's not actually a new scent.

Endless Sunshine
Notes:
Lavender leaves, fresh citrus and white birch
A lovely scent combining light sweet floral and salty lemon. There may also be a hint of lavender. It's a nice, fresh, cheerful scent. Looking at the scent notes, they're spot on, although I'm not sure what birch smells like (I don't detect any woodsy notes).
Throw:
3.75
Lilac Fields
Notes:
Lilac, jasmine and orange blossom
This smells like lilac scented soap, and I love it. I can also smell the extra sweetness of the jasmine and a tiny bit of the rich honeysuckle type scent of the orange blossom.

Pink Velvet Cupcake
Notes:
Jasmine, sugared vanilla and citrus
This is the same scent as last year's Pink Velvet Cupcake, a sweet vanilla scent with a very slight salty peanut note, and maybe a smidgen of lemon and some kind of berry and just a barely detectable note of almond. It's similar to ScentSationals Pink Velvet. But that scent had slightly more tart berry and lemon notes, while Sonoma Pink Velvet Cupcake is sweeter, has a stronger vanilla note, and a very slight perfumey note. Looking at the scent notes, the slightly perfumey note is the jasmine. Last year's throw was mild, around a 2.5 out of 5.

Summer Berry Lemonade
Notes:
A vibrant blend of lemonade and mixed berries
A fantastic blend of raspberries and tangy lemon. It might be the same scent as last year's Raspberry Lemonade, but I no longer have that one because the throw was weak. The notes for last year's Raspberry Lemonade were raspberries, blackberries and red currants with a touch of lemon, nectarine blossom and peach. Those notes could definitely describe this scent as well (although I don't smell peach).

Walk in the Park
Notes:
Relaxing notes of eucalyptus, aloe and apple
I can't figure out the notes in this one. I smell fruit, maybe apple. And it also has a slightly clean soapy herbal note, as well as a slight peppery note. It's kind of green and natural, and just slightly sweet. Looking at the scent notes, there's the apple, and I guess the aloe is the fresh note, and maybe the eucalyptus is the peppery note? I don't actually smell eucalyptus though, which tends to smell a bit like pine. Melted, it smells like a fresh, very slightly fruity body wash. It's a nice pleasant scent.

Weekend Getaway
Notes:
Gingered apple, jasmine and cedarwood
A very nice, pleasant scent with apple and floral with a very slight perfumey note, and something else I can't figure out. It's sweet but not perfumey sweet. Looking at the scent notes, yes, I smell the cedar on cold sniff but not when melting.
