I've never smelled a scent that even resembles this one. The tonka bean dominates, and while I've heard tonka bean described as smelling something like freshly mown bales of hay, this scent seems more pronounced than that. There is a very strong note of an indescribably interesting scent with this candle, and it has excellent throw, with even just the votive size easily filling a large room. Even if you ultimately decide that it's not one of your favorite fragrances, it would still be an interesting experience to try it. :)
