Editing my original review for this particular candle…

After lighting it twice and letting it fully melt across the top after a few hours, I haven’t noticed even the faintest scent. There is no throw at all whatsoever which is really disappointing because when you smell it not lit you’re able to smell the scent. :(

This one is definitely a favorite for me. It's warm and homey and spicey like fall and I cannot get enough of it! It's like if autumnal nostalgia was a candle, it would be this candle.

This is definitely going to end up being a scent obsession for me. It’s the perfect autumn candle.

I work at a local indie in New England. This candle is the real deal. I've found the only fall candle I'll ever need. It's warm, spicy, and absolutely perfect for a fall day.

Ahhh. Local Indie smells amazing. The hot cider has a spicy scent and I love that. Not overpowering. Just right. Another top candle.
