I decided on this scent after smelling several of the other candles in the "fresh" area. In the store I was looking for something I could burn that spread a pleasant, fresh, calm scent all around the house. Did this candle do that? Yes. Do I love the smell as much as I did when I smelled it at the store? No. I can't put my finger on why, though. Another review described it as something for elderly people, and to some extent I agree. Good throw, but I am purchasing other scents.
