The actual candle smells amazing (very warm, cozy, sweet but not overpowering thanks to the more earthy/faintly smokey bourbon component) and scents up a small room (in this case, an office) very quickly. Voluspa makes quality candles and this mini was a great gift!
One thing: The outside of this candle was coated in an oily substance when I unwrapped it from the packaging. I was concerned that the candle wax had potentially melted and sort of leaked out, but when I opened the lid, the wax was perfectly smooth and even, so that didn't appear to be the case.
I just washed the outside of the candle off with soap and warm water and dried it thoroughly before gifting. Just something to be aware!
