This smells like a walk in snow-laden woods, with the "glistening frost" being the strongest note. If you're not into pine, you would not enjoy this. As I only like pine in subtle scents, I am thankful that the candle's throw is not overwhelming to my senses. I believe the tobacco and apple leafs, while not wholly detectable, mellow out the "frost" and "pine" smell I catch. It is a nice burn to evoke Hygge during the winter.
