Purchased these for the Contemporary Iron lantern (large) to hang in our gazebo.  So, the remote sealed the deal.  Candles are very realistic.  Don't really smell a scent, but who cares?  That is not why I bought them.  Took a hint from the lantern picture and put all three in.  Perfect ambiance.  And when winter comes I can use the lantern and/or candles someplace else.  Love IT!
