The Good: I really love the scent of this candle, it's a wonderful mix between a ripened sweet delicious pear and a light white floral scent. The description of the notes fits the actual smell quite wonderfully. I believe this is just one of those scents that just "works" for multiple times of year and in various rooms. It's very versatile in the sense that it isn't too floral for the winter time, it is not too "Christmasy" or geared towards the fall (like some candles are). This is truly a beautiful year-round scent. I also think this candle would be beautiful to put inside a guest or master bathroom, perfect scent that isn't the usual "ocean-watery" scents that are found within bathrooms. The packaging is also very clean-cut, beautiful and not too ... MoreThe Good: I really love the scent of this candle, it's a wonderful mix between a ripened sweet delicious pear and a light white floral scent.

This is truly a beautiful year-round scent. I also think this candle would be beautiful to put inside a guest or master bathroom, perfect scent that isn't the usual "ocean-watery" scents that are found within bathrooms. The packaging is also very clean-cut, beautiful and not too colorful-therefore, it matches almost any room without throwing off the feng shui of a space. I have lit this candle during a Christmas party due to this versatility and received several compliments from a wide variety of guests (young and older, male and female). The scent is overall a great mix that is not too overly floral or too sweet/fruity. It really is a fantastic year-round scent that is pretty enough to appease almost all kinds of "noses".The Bad: As great as this scent is, once lit it does not have the best throw. When I lit this at my party, it was directly on the dinner table where everyone was gathered which is why they were able to smell it. Once you walk away a bit, you really cannot smell this candle-which is a shame. For that reason, I believe it works best in a smaller space such as a bathroom despite it's ride ranging scent-possibility or when set up within an intimate/close setting such as on top of a dinner table.The Ugly/Honest: For the price point ($70 for 7oz) this is an extremely expensive candle and I really would like if it had the throw and lasting power of an expensive candle. Five Stars for the scent/versatility but I took a star off for price point and another star for lack of throw.

Over six years I have had four of these candles, spending slightly over £1k . Granted I had a few beers when bought the 1st as part of my wifes Christmas, but we both loved it ..So we bought another for the upstairs lounge too . 2 years later I bought another ( to replace the 1st ) , but its scent just didnt fill the room the same. I complained and Jo Malone sent a replacement - NO questions asked they just took the batch number and sent a replacement - NO questions asked ( Great Customer Service !!!) The replacement candle has the scent but its leaving a black residue on the top of the candle, I trim the wicks after every burning but the residue just builds up and it looks pretty unsightly which is annoying as the candle has a great presence even when unlite

This is been my favorite perfume, and the only one I've been wearing for the last 15 years. It's not that there aren't any other scents that I like, but when you find something so perfect for you, why use anything else? The scent is amazing - floral, very lightly fruity, sweet but not too sweet, light, and intensely feminine. I'm often complimented on the scent when I'm out, and I always offer a spritz since carry a small bottle of it with me. People love it! Thank you for this absolute gem of a perfume, Jo Malone!
