I got the candle with a previous order, and frequently sniffed it over and over again. I think the overall sublabels of cedarwood and amber are misleading, BUT I really, really like this scent. I was looking for a cleaner masculine perfume with lavender that I could wear more often, almost as a signature scent. This one smells like a cozier version of Parfums de Marly Percival for a fraction of the price. On my skin when I spray, I mostly get the nutty and musky tonka bean, and then the lavender really takes over in a fresh and comforting way with oakmoss hints. This is more of an approachable white tea shirt and jeans book boyfriend type rather than a shadow daddy in my opinion, and my girl friend really likes it. It's lasted four hours so far, settling into a nice skin scent. I think I'm going to like this one for a while.

I bought it as a Christmas gift, and I can't wait to give it to my husband!
For years I have been searching for a scent that is earthy and botanical, but also had a warmth to it. I backpack a lot in the north east and wanted something reminiscent of my favorite Adirondack landscapes. This scent absolutely NAILS it.
This is the only place I get candles from (except one on Amazon that I love, lol). All of them smell amazing, I love the themes and they're made from good stuff instead of parrifin wax. I just wish they carried all of their available scents on their website instead of some on this platform, some on Amazon and some on here. Thanks!
