So, I do not know to what previous speakers suffer for an aberration of taste, but that is the ultimate Christmas scent par excellence. My fiance and I love him. Of note for Maggi, etc. are never! This is cinnamon, which is comfort, that's Christmas packaged in a beautiful warm scent. I recommend anyone looking for a truly great perfume at Christmas time ... Buy this, you will not be disappointed. ;) The candle should usual about 4hrs like Yankee. Minimum let it burn, they burn down evenly. Otherwise, everything tip top in super quality Yankee :) always happy.
