I have had 2-3 of these. The smell doesn’t “wear out” like other 3 wick candles I use often. They burn so evenly. They provide the perfect amount of light and the sound of the wick crackling is soothing. It takes me back to nights by the camp fire. I was nervous there would be a Smokey smell as it burns, but I did not have that at all. I use this almost every night and it lasts around 3-4 months! Can’t beat it!
