The candle scent is perfect and not overbearing at all! I've used my candle for long periods of time and still have plenty of wax left on the candle. Definitely worth the price for a candle that won't run out quick and smells amazing! The container it comes in is perfect for contemporary or modern homes. Traditional too! Love this purchase! Lavender scent is on point and perfect to light up in my home office. Highly recommend.
