Perfume is mostly a matter of personal taste. The scent of this candle is not to mine. As other reviewers have commented, the candle throws off very strong tuberose which for me which instantly head ache inducing. There's no subtlety, complexity or interest with this scent. It reminds me of a really cheap one note perfumed candle. Those ones in the sale bin at the chemist after Christmas. Cheap this one is not. I got it in a Hirons box. Not a good inclusion. I think I will bin it.

Absolutely love the smell. the fragrance came through the packaging; even the box smells so good for weeks! The smell was quite potent but nice when it's not burning, But curiously when it is actually burning the smell is somehow less strong (?!) However the wax doesn't burn evenly, even though I do trim the wick. my boyfriend suggests it's likely because of the quality of the wax that affects how evenly the candle can burn through. Oh well.

I adore scented candles, but this has been a huge disappointment. The smell of tuberose is so strong, I couldn't smell any sandlewood. I let the candle burn for a couple of hours, to see if the smell improved, but I didn't like it at all. There are much better scented candles. I'm not going to waste my money on any of the other candles in this range.

Smells delightful unlit. Burns well, but disappointing throw of fragrance in our view!

I love scented candles and was really looking forward to this as part of my Caroline Hirons box. When I opened the candle, the smell of Tuberose was so over-powering there was no hint of sandlewood. I've let the candle burn for a couple of hours and blown it out. It's rubbish. I was going to buy other Bella Freud candles from her collection, but am not going to waste my money. There are much better quality, beautifully fragranced scented candles to choose from.
