I tested this one and the Peony the same brand. Both are of high quality and are not consumed too quickly. The smell is present at the opening of the box. However, smoldering smell is there but does not spread very far. Packaging is very sober and classy, like the candle that is in a transparent glass with a black label. It's simple but it had its effect. Ideal for a gift. Nevertheless, despite the good quality of Watercolor candles, I still found the high price ...
