It smells like fresh earth. There's a slight perfume-y scent that lingers once you blow it out but honestly, it just adds to how amazing this candle is. And it burns really well with other candles. If you like burning two candles as a combo, it goes great with Dwarven Forge, Bearded Tree, and Gaffer's Garden. Those three will give you different levels of smokey, earthy, greeness (hard to explain lol) that is pure magic.
