I was a little unsure because tobacco and bourbon candles can smell kind of cheap, but this is the opposite. It smells warm and rich, honestly smells way more expensive than it is. You have to give it about 20 minutes to really kick in but then the whole room just feels cozy.
The smell is more medium than super strong like some cheap candles which I like so I keep it close to where I'm sitting. But it burns really clean and even. For $30 I'm honestly impressed.
