This is an expensive treat for sure, but if you have the cash, it's worth it. I have recently become a collector of Bella Freud's candles, as fed up with inferior and my usual type of fragrance. This is possibly my favourite. This really does smell of the three main ingredients - it's the powdery violets giving a big hit (to my nose anyway). The other ingredients ie the cherry and the musk overlay beautifully giving it a truly lusciously addictive aroma. I walk past it and always get a waft, even though I've not lit it yet. Truly very special - quite a present to yourself, or another lover of slightly sweeter, heady, exotic fragrances.
