These are a good quality candle. They are long lasting, clean burning and have a good scent. I didn’t rate this particular candle five stars because it wasn’t Christmas essence to me. It’s a nice scent but more like laundry soap than Christmas. To me Christmas scent is spicy, warm maybe some pine notes. I did just order another scent to try in the same size candle. Quite sometime ago I tried the bayberry which is a very nice scent. Overall these are great candles. This size does need to burn about 6 hours at a time or longer so it melts the wax almost all the way to the edge otherwise it will burn down the center. Winter is a great time to use these larger candles.
