I loved Sandalwood Vanilla at first but then it got a bit too strong even for me, and I love strong candles. I think I'm just not that big on vanilla and this candle smells mostly like vanilla with a strong, woodsy foundation. The vanilla is not cupcake-like sweet but it's rather a powdery, peppery, overpowering vanilla. I don't like to see a product go to waste so I keep burning it in the largest and most open part of the house but will definitely not repurchase.
