I am 78 and of the "old" school. With that in mind...I was expecting great fragrance from the candles. I was disappointed to say the least. With 5 of the candles out & in candle rings, and even lit..there was hardly any scent. Candles purchased 15-18 years ago were marvelous. After being away for the day I could walk in the house and notice the great smells. Not with these. I have burned them, but no difference. Couldn't find 3x6 candles that were not in glass, so I got these. They will outlive me, but the old ones were much better.Shipping was slow so order early.
