So my sister loves candles and is always searching for the the smelliest (in the best possible way) candles out there. She always complains that you can smell a candle in the jar but once the candle is lit the smell seems to dissipate. Not These! I gifted the apple cider one to her because she lives in California and loves visiting the east coast in the fall. She said that you can smell this candle throughout her whole apartment, and she keeps raving about how it smells just like if you were apple picking in a field, which we used to do. Hearing her comments on the candle made me decide to grab one for myself. I could not be happier! This will always be a sure gift idea for my friends, family...and of course to myself. :)
