We stand by the quality of our products. Read what our customers have to say:
Slightly buttery, yet somehow musty scent. One of my favorites.
Light scent throw.
I love the idea of this one but it is lightly scented once lit, cant really smell it unless its very close to you.
This disappointed me because I was expecting a book loft scent. I didn't get any scent at all. I have to add essential oil to this in order to smell something. I don't recommend this product at all.
So sorry the throw wasn't as strong as you'd like. It is definitely a mild scent, but we appreciate your feedback!
Fragrance is a little off-putting.
