I love having a citrus scented candle in the kitchen. It masks unpleasant odors such as onions and garlic. This candle may seem expensive, but with candles, you get what you pay for. This Citrus Champagne candle has a nice "throw" of the scent, meaning that it carries throughout the house. It even smells great unlit just sitting there on the counter. I can smell it when I walk by. When lit, the scent is not overpowering. It's just right!
