When the (spa scent) candle first arrived I didn’t feel that the scent carried the notes in the description. Being a person who frequents spas I imagined eucalyptus, chlorine, and a trace of something sweet. I also don’t love paying so much for a candle. That said, I decided to keep it and began burning it right away in the bathroom where I bathe. I found myself wanting to return to smell it again and again and wished I had one for the main part of the house, as well. The smell grew on me and really it does carry a stronger scent than cheaper candles and the smell is…luxurious. And it is precisely that luxurious smell that made me like it more than I initially thought. I would recommend it and I will likely buy again, especially if it outlasts the cheaper ones which so far it seems it will.
