I am finally getting around to burning this candle. I really love the pear notes in this particular candle. I have struggled to find a pear candle that doesn't turn into having a kerosene type of aroma as it burns, but this one has not done that for me! It throws pretty well... not the strongest throw in a candle, but definitely not the weakest scent throw I have experienced. I would say around a 6 (maybe 7) for me. It has burned well also...I have definitely been enjoying it! :)
