Just sublime. Smells fresh, but there is a depth to the sent that makes it comforting. I'm not expert on scents, but the first hit I pick up was the same smell as crushing mint leaves; definitely mint, but earthy and rich. After it burns for a bit, there is a mild spice as well, and more of the earthy greenness comes through with a tiny hint of vanilla to keep everything soothing and mellow. The throw of the candle is really good, though it takes about a half-hour before the smells really starts to spread. After about an hour, a medium-size room (350 sq feet (sorry, I'm American:/)) will be nicely scented. Honestly, I don't mind that it takes a bit for the scent to disperse, since they don't recommend burning the candle for less than 2 hours at a time to prevent ... MoreJust sublime.

Honestly, I don't mind that it takes a bit for the scent to disperse, since they don't recommend burning the candle for less than 2 hours at a time to prevent tunneling. Also, the scent really lingers; I'll light the candle in the evening, let it go for a couple hours before going to bed, and I can still smell it the next morning. Just leaving the candle uncovered will scent a small room. I've bought the Nazareth candle from Cire Trudon as well for the Holidays. I have a feeling that this is going to become a bit of an expensive addiction, but I will actually put an extra line in my (imaginary) budget spreadsheet for these candles if they all smell this good.

I think Trudon make the finest candles I have ever used and have been sold on the Madeline and Circe fragrances for years. I got sample of Add El Kader and found it intriguing and so purchased the full size.Spicy, exotic, strong but not overpowering it is a worthy edition to my Trudon collection.

I randomly came across this candle at another candle shop and was excited to find it at Nordstrom. It literally smells like fresh green mint leaves. The scent is absolutely refreshing and its throw is wide enough, even for the small size. I do hope Nordstrom brings back the larger size in this scent.
