I have tried MANY different scents so far, including vanilla, lemon meringue, papaya paradise, oatmeal cookie, almost paradise, herb garden, pumpkin pie and vanilla almond. Each scent I have chosen has been great! I like the more fruity scents for the summer, and I then switch to the warmer ("creamy") scents once Fall begins. Vanilla almond is a nice mix of vanilla and almond - with both scents coming through clearly. It is strong, but not overpowering, and is quite relaxing. A nice candle to light at night, when you are winding down... These candles are superb!!!
