The smell is really too strong. I melted my first one and had a friend over who was disgusted by the smell. I had to open the windows and even my partner said it was too much.
This scent is the embodyment of fall! It is sweet, but has semi-dark chocolate accords in the background. The whipped cream adds that warm sweet "hug in a mug" cozy feeling, that we love so much, especially at this time of year...!
The scent is so realistic (and yummy) that once the wax has melted and I could smell the full effect of it in my living room, I couldn't help myself... I went into the kitchen and made myself a HUGE mug of hot chocolate... a REAL one!
I'm huge into chocolate scents right now and the hot chocolate melts hit the spot! Definitely sweet cocoa like the powder mix in the bags, mixed with a sugary cream! I love this one so much! Good throw in bathroom, wish it were a bit stronger!
