Usually, fragrances give me a headache. But the fragrances in these candles are natural and subtle enough for me to just enjoy them. This candle makes me hungry for sweets. Other than the entoxicating smell, this candle's made from soy rather than parafin which is better for air quality, and it's not petroleum based. Also, Pacifica doesn't use pthalates in their fragrances, which is great for everyone invlolved.
