| How Did My Mulberry Candle Smell?
I have to admit, I was a little “iffy” on this scent when I first sniffed it. I absolutely love the fragrance of Mulberry. It’s a tart fruity berry scent that smells so wonderful to me and always puts a smile on my face when I smell it throughout my house. To me, most of the Mulberry candles I’ve burned in the past smell more like candy or a powdered punch drink than anything else. I like that and have to admit, that’s what I’m used to. This candle didn’t smell like that at all to me. Here is the scent description from Pure Integrity’s site:
“A wonderfully juicy fragrance of plump ripe mulberries. A favorite English sweet, fruity scent. Great for Holidays and year round! Bright and refreshing.”
I lit my candle in my great-room early evening. The scent became noticeable right away and around 30 minutes later, I could smell the fragrance everywhere. So, I will say the scent throw is strong and consistent as with all the candles I’ve tried from this company. I can’t figure out though if I like this scent or not. I don’t know if that’s ever happened to any of you but this one is fitting that category for me. I don’t dislike it, I just can’t quite make up my mind what I think.
I guess I can cry “creature of habit” and say Pure Integrity’s version is not the Mulberry I’m used to. The ones I know of smell more like that tart candy scent I like. Instead, I thought this version smelled like an actual piece of fruit... like maybe slicing a real Mulberry open and smelling it. Pure Integrity has been so right on with most of their fragrances so maybe they hit the nail on this one too. I don’t know but I think that’s a good of a guess as any so I’m sticking with it.
