I received this candle as a gift. Such a weird scent combination for me.  When burned it was overly strong and very pungent.  A bitter unappealing scent.  These two scents go together like oil and water. They do not blend into anything cohesive. The scents are at war with each other. I do not like lavender except as essential oil in a cool mist diffuser because otherwise it seems soapy to me. I do love lemon but that can be a difficult smell to capture in a candle. Add soapy strong lavender to bitter, strong acrid lemon that borders on furniture polish and you have this candle.  The worst Yankee Candle I have ever smelled.  Never ever again. Truly awful.
