Sage and Red Berry (American Home by Yankee Candle)

This is another season scent that I picked up in the clearance aisle after Christmas for $3.00.  Unlike the Winter Morning fragrance, this one definitely has a scent.  It's not a bad scent, but it definitely doesn't remind me of anything or make me think 'holidays' or 'Christmas' or...well, anything.  One of the things I love about scents is when they turn my thoughts to a particular place or time.  I guess I was never around sage and red berry before in my life.  Still, I kind of like it, not strong in the sense that it isn't overpowering.  I've used some where the scent just sort of took over.  This doesn't do that.  I can definitely smell it but after having the burner on for over an hour with this, I didn't feel the need to go outside for fresh air.  It's a nice, warm scent that doesn't like an artificial scent is being added.  I'm sure that doesn't make sense so let me try to word it differently.  Have you ever walked into a room and the scent hits you in a way that you know someone has just sprayed a deodorizer or opened an air freshener?  Some of the wax cubes are like that -- go into the room where the wax warmer is and, good or bad, the scent hits you.  This one doesn't feel artificial or out of place at all.

Another plus for this is that it left no lasting scent on my hands.  Some of the waxes (I'm looking at you, Mainstays) seemed to leave a lot of the scent on my fingers just from getting them out of the package and into the warmer.  These literally left to no scent on my fingers.

I would recommend these based on the scent alone, but I still don't think they are worth the price as they just don't last.  Once melted the scent releases and that's it.  You can't get multiple uses out of these and if you wanted to scent the room for a long period of time, you'd probably have to do a new wax cube every 1-2 hours.  You'll probably have to wait until Yankee Candle brings out their winter seasonal scents if you want to try these yourself (as of this post there are still some sellers on ebay with these if you really really want to try it).
