I did think I would like this fragrance on cold sniff and never bought it for myself but after my brother gifted me this candle for mothers day I finally decided it was time to give it a shot. The sugary sweetness of this could be overwhelming and nauseating to some who just smell it off the bat like I was at first but after you burn it mellows out enveloping the who house in the smell of fresh baked vanilla cupcakes without over doing it I actually will be buying this for myself at some point in the near future.
