This is a review of Tuscany Candle Fall Wax Melts from 2015. Most of these smell great, but I wish the throw were stronger.
Alpine Cabin
Very hard to describe, maybe soapy baby powder with a hint of wood and possibly a smidgen of barely noticeable pine, or an incensey note. It's neither a masculine nor feminine scent, and it doesn't smell anything like the Alpines or a log cabin. It's a very nice scent though!
Apple & Oak Leaves
I like scents that are a little "different" from standard run-of-the-mill scents, and this one definitely is. It's a musty earthy slightly woodsy scent that smells a little like dirt, combined with really old brown leaves on the ground and a couple of apples. But in a good way! Kind of like Autumn Citrus & Cinnamon, but after the leaves and apples have been sitting on the ground for a few extra weeks.
Autumn Citrus & Cinnamon
Slightly woodsy apple with a smidgen of spice (cinnamon and clove I think). It's not a very sweet apple, almost like an overripe older apple towards the end of the fall season. I think I also detect a tiny bit of orange perhaps?
Brandied Cherries
Sweet maraschino cherries with a hint of something rich like vanilla or sweet cream, or maybe even a hint of chocolate. Fantastic scent. This scent returned in 2016 under the name Merry Cherry. It also smells almost exactly like (if not the same scent as) Colonial Candle Cranberry Nut.
Cranberry Chutney
This really smells like cranberry sauce! Sweet, tart and strong.
Fall Festival
Just another standard cinnamony fall scent. Nothing really stands out.
Ginger Spiced Biscotti
A hint of ginger and a spice cake note, with a burnt chemical note up close when melting.
Glazed Pear
Fresh sweet pear. A little "fake" but still good.
Marshmallow Graham
This one smells amazing! I can smell the salty sweetness of the graham cracker and the richness of the marshmallow. Scent faded in less than 2 hours.
Oh My, Pumpkin Pie
I smelled this one in the store but didn't buy it. It smelled like a standard pumpkin pie fragrance, but not as good as other brands I have.
Pecan Pie
Nice nutty caramely bakery scent.
Pumpkin Brittle
Rich salty sweet caramel with a barely noticeable fall spice note.
Sugared Walnuts
On cold sniff this has an unappealing bitter note. Melted, that weird bitterness filled the room and resulted in a combination of a rich burnt sugar... and spoiled food or stinky feet. I get that they were going for that slight bitterness of the walnut, but it didn't work. This was awful.
