I've never been a "beach person." However, this candle's fragrance reminds me of Crabtree & Evelyn's Goat Milk Soap, my staple bath product in childhood. I was smitten when I smelled the candle in the store.

I lit this candle, burned it a little over four hours. The wax pool is visually and artistically pleasing. Candle color is sandy beige and the melted wax is a deeper beige, like wet sand.

However, I experienced no fragrance throw. I mean absolutely nothing. If I stood next to the candle and pushed my nose an inch or so near the flame, I got a whiff of the fresh, clean scent, but not even a whisper of it filled my office.

I'm either returning this tumbler or exchanging it for a housewarmer jar.
