I love these candles. I found this particular scent to be almost chocolately, without being sweet. It's a scent that will appeal to both men and women, as my husband likes it too. It is not too strong, so you get a nice subtle fragrance rather than an overwhelming one that makes you long to open windows (some others I have tried are like that!). I have started buying these as gifts, and always try to have one at home for myself.
