First, I couldn't believe how quickly I received my order. The service was great. When I opened the box I immediately smelled the most wonderful scent. It was still completely wrapped and I could smell a pear scent. I wasn't sure exactly what a pear scent was, but I knew it right away. It smelled great! I gave this candle as a gift so I didn't get to smell it as it was burning. That was disappointing. Also, I had been looking for Votivo candles on other sites and none of them had the pretty terracotta jar. They were all the same or higher price and the best I could find was a little tin that held the candle. I was very happy with everything about this order.
