This candle came in a gift basket I received for Christmas that had many bath and body products in a verbena scent. Obviously expensive, I have put off burning this candle as I wanted to "save it" for a special occasion. Well, this weekend while doing dreaded taxes, I finally lit this little beauty. First of all, this small glass container is very heavy, thick, embossed glass with a metal lid. The embossing is of the company name and leaves - very nice and I will be using it again. The scent is very "green" with almost a citronella type base...I can't say I love it, but it's not bad. The throw is terrific, the candle burns clean and even so, all in all, it's a very nice luxury candle in a scent I would not have chosen for myself. I looked on the website before doing this review and could not believe the price - $25.00 for a little 3.5 oz. candle! Wow! I think I will save it some more since I can't see buying these for myself!
