I’m not sure what the scent is? I love anything cheesecake scented and thought this would be divine as I love peppermint scents as well; unfortunately it doesn’t smell anything like the description. The throw was mediocre, I’d say this is good for a smaller space such as a bathroom or smaller sized bedroom. I used it in my open concept living room with cathedral ceilings and smelled nothing unless I got up on top of it. I attempted it in my master bedroom and it permeated the room a bit but not as much as I’d have liked. In the master bathroom the smell was pretty strong. In the kitchen a very light throw. All in all given the poor throw and the unusual scent this is not a repeat purchase for me. I will say though, no sooting on the candle and that I do appreciate!!
