I have always loved the fresh scent of Gardenias - only they bloom for such a short time. These are the first candles that I can say "I love the aroma and it doesn't fade from the first light until the end of the candle". I'm sold on this fragrance and am passing on my opinion to new customers while I order a few more or these candles for my household. I really have gotten my money's worth out of these excellent candles...it's just so hard to try a new aroma when this one is so great!
