I LOVE these candles and the scent is fresh and clean. Very impressed with that. The only problem is you should NOT leave the candle on more than a couple of hours or you will accumulate black soot with the smoke. You don't want that. I ended up falling asleep and I had it in my bathroom so when I woke up I ended up washing my walls that day! But if you follow my advice and only for a couple of hours AND trim the wick before lighting it next time you will love these!!!
