The candle smells lovely. It has a mature, almost masculine scent. (Smells like a nice book store). But, the product itself is pretty bad. It came wrapped in a layer of bubble wrap but that obviously didn't work out for a glass jar as it was shattered either in transit or they packed a broken piece and I ended up accidentally cutting my finger trying to open it. Luckily the customer service was great and they sent another candle with more bubble wrap and it was fine. But it still has it's issues as the jar doesn't close properly. Bath and body works candles would be a safer option imo since there won't be any surprises with the jar as it's a very simple design.
