On first burn of this candle, I lit it without clipping the wicks. The wicks never self corrected and they were as long as when they arrived so I had to Blow it out click and restart. I do get the banana, but I get a very sweet almost charred scents like the crust like on the top of burnt cream. It almost smells like burnt cream dessert with a banana flare. Now I’m gonna say I have never had banana foster so I’m not sure if that is what it smells like in real life, but I’m envisioning purposes smells as intended for me. I just wanted more banana. It does smell like banana it’s just I want more banana. I have two in total and I’m just trying to decide if I need to get another in the sale and I’m not sure yet until I burn a couple more times
