First off this candle has the new lid that can be used as a base for the candle.  It gives you a place to put the lid and looks nice as well.  When lit, the candle easily fills up my kitchen and dinning room with a strong throw and it can be lightly smelled in other areas of the downstairs.  The scent on the other hand is not what I was expecting.  The description mentions a lot of fruity notes, but this candle smells like mens cologne.  It is not a bad smell if you like a more masculine and musk smell.
