At first smell at the store...Beach Walk reminded me of baby powder which I love. With the candle lit...it reminds me of laundry detergent. It's a clean smelling candle and not fruity or flowery which was good. I have enough of those candles at home and wanted something different. The only thing I can say negative is that the scent can be bit overwhelming. You can definitely smell this one throughout the house when lit.  Not sure why some said there was no throw. Maybe it depends on manufacturing.
