I received this after 2 weeks with free shipping. Packaging was secure enough to protect several candles+perfume oils+fragrance sprays. However, packing was not wasteful and avoided using plastics (Hooray!)
The candle itself smelt very generically clean at first, which scared me. But then I lit it, and it was a very subtle smell of earth with hints for flowers. I can only describe it as being in your moms backyard flower garden, like fresh dirt and light flower scent. I can be sensitive to candle smells, but this didn't give me a headache, nor was it overpowering. The smell carries throughout a room/house, but it isn't obnoxiously in your face strong.
I'm not usually a fan of earthy smells, and I definitely still prefer fruitier ones... but this one was so unique and pleasant that I liked it and would probably buy it again,even if it isn't my normal go-to scent type!
