Mind Rest: This candle is an aromatherapy type scent. I didn’t know what to expect at first because the fragrance seemed very light when I put my nose up to it cold. Once lit however, it actually gave a soft and soothing scent throw that I really enjoyed. I do want to point out that this is supposed to be a light fragrance and was not intended to be strong. I asked Tarrah, owner of The Spotted Hog  why she made the scent light and this is what she said: “Mind rest is supposed to be light but not super light. It’s triple scented but the Eucalyptus and the Peppermint that goes in it are light on purpose because I thought if I made it too strong, it would smell too much like Vicks. I thought that most people would burn it in their bathroom or bedroom so I wanted to make sure it was soothing rather then a nostril opener.” That makes sense. I like Vicks but I don’t want to smell it unless I have the flu or a serious cold, so it’s not a fragrance I would want my house to smell like all the time. Mind Rest didn’t smell like Vicks to me at all. I could smell the Peppermint & Eucalyptus but it wasn’t overpowering. The official scent description on The Spotted Hogs website is: “True aromatherapy .... Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Rosemary, Sage and Lemon. This blend creates a relaxing and wonderful fragrance.” I could totally smell the Eucalyptus & Peppermint but as far as the Rosemary & Sage, I couldn’t tell. I know they’re in there somewhere to help defuse the strength of Eucalyptus & Peppermint but I couldn’t pinpoint any one alone. I could make out a teeny bit of lemon and would have loved the lemon to have been a bit stronger since that’s my favorite scent ever but all in all… this was a nice fragrance and one I would buy again. To me, Mind Rest is a scent you want to burn on lazy days when you want to relax at home and read a good book or close your eyes and listen to some good soothing music. This scent will definitely help you on your way. I wanted you to know that I actually burned two jars at the same time in my great-room to get a heavier scent throw and it was perfect. The fragrance was very soothing and crisp… a perfect scent to create a relaxing atmosphere. So, if you think this is a fragrance you would like to try, my suggestion would be to burn one in a smaller room or bathroom and for a larger room, try burning two like I did because two were perfect for my larger room. | 
Introduction to My Second Spotted Hog Candle Review...
My candles are wide mouthed contemporary jars and are double wicked (my favorite). Spotted Hog labels are tied on the candles with raffia and are easily removed. The candles are simple and fit with any décor. Mind rest is pure white & Cappuccino Ice Cream is dark tan in color.
