I wish I liked this candle, but it was somehow both plain and fruity? perhaps it was because I expected tea or some depth, and I didn't really get it. it was ok, but not something I'll buy again.

Based on the description, I really wanted to love this one, but the fragrance was artificially fruity, sickeningly sweet, and not an experience I'm eager to repeat. I had hoped the black tea would come through more than it did, given that the fragrance was described as having black tea as the dominant note, but I found that the artificially sweet fruit was the only note. I tried burning this twice, then permanently retired it, since no one in my home enjoyed it. (Reviews of fragrances are highly subjective and whether or not you'll like a particular fragrance is personal, so, for reference, my favorite Frostbeard candles are: Wizardy Buttery Drink, Back to Wizard School, The Wall, Through the Wardrobe, The Inklings, and Snow Maiden. My least favorite candles are: Oxford Library, Book Cellar, Gatsby's Mansion, Christmas in the Great Hall, Bah Humbug, and Old Books.)

I feel like I've written reviews where I loved a scent from Frostbeard but this scent is actually my new favorite. I wish I had 50 of them but I'll just have wait until next year to stock up!

As a Ravenclaw I've been wanting this candle every year but I always missed my window to purchase. I got it right away this year and have been enjoying it every since! It is a little sweet but not overly so, and it is a perfect accompaniment to a cup of tea and a relaxing read.

I like it. It’s a little sweeter than I probably would normally like, but I still enjoy it. It’s a warm scent.
