I ordered this candle online, having never smelled it before. When I received it, I opened it and took a big whiff. I really liked it. THEN I started burning it. The scent changed and I was pretty sure that I didn't like it. In fact, I came REALLY close to exchanging it for a scent I enjoyed. I decided to give it a little more burn time. The scent got better (but still not like when it was fresh and unlit). I burned it some more and the scent REALLY grew on me. I don't know what it is, but I've decided that I actually really like it. It burns even and does not smoke a lot as long as you keep the wicks trimmed like you're supposed to. It has good throw. It's an enjoyable candle and scent. I will definitely purchase again!
