This candle smells wonderful and I really like it. The packaging makes for a really nice gift. It has two drawbacks: 1. It needs a lid, because dust gets into the candle after a few days and causes it to crackle, and 2. It’s ridiculously expensive. Trader Joes sells candles that smell just as nice with a lid for $3.99. They're not packaged as beautifully, but I’ve yet to meet anyone who wasn’t thrilled with a TJ’s candle.
