I cannot tolerate too much scent of any type, whether perfume, candles, air fresheners, etc. I bought this candle on sale at a local store after not being knocked out when removing the lid to test the strength. It did not disappoint. The floral is very subtle, not at all overwhelming and is a nice change from the "fresh" and "grass" type scents we usually burn. Although Storm Watch is my favorite, this one is up there in the top 5.
