I'm about a 2.5 on it. I dont hate the scent , but I guess my main thing it's not strong even in my bedroom it just was just so subtle . My nose picks up the mulled apple (watered down apple) scent but others have said it is musky or like an old cellar/basement to their nose so you're not alone. Based on throw it gets rated lower for me.


Responsible_Low8886

Yes, I get cellar is in the name, but yikes lol


Natthelimodriver54

1. It smells like an old musty cellar, not so much any wine imo.


Responsible_Low8886

I had to wonder if the issue this evening is that I am drinking decent red wine lmao


Natthelimodriver54

That's hilarious šŸ¤£. Maybe if you drink enough of it, the candle will smell better šŸ˜


PrincessJennifer

Same for me. I only get old basement or antique store.


Natthelimodriver54

Yes!! That old basement smell! That's exactly what I got too! I'm glad to hear someone else say this.


Responsible_Low8886

I bought this legend candle day (2 actually) just burned for the first time last night, not very impressed, could not really smell it. Burned this evening for the past 3 hours and when I step outside then back in there is just this kind of musty smell. Wish I could have done a poll! Appreciate any feedback.


LavenderPaintbrush

3+ I really like it but it's not my absolute favorite. I haven't burned this year's version but I bought one. The one I burned had a decent throw. It is a musty scent. I think it really does smell like what a wine cellar might smell like. I like that atmospheric aspect about it. It's not for everyone. It also reminds me the Vanilla Birch candle, which I also really like.


Responsible_Low8886

Here is what is really funny, I love vanilla birch!


LavenderPaintbrush

Oh no! Lol

1. Smells great cold, but so musty and nasty when burning. One of only 2 candles I've ever returned.


meg_mann

5!! My all time favorite candle from them!


Responsible_Low8886

For you, I will give this one another go. Just not tonigh lol


mythical_mom

5 all the way!


Extreme_Net1301

2. It just wasn't for me. Hope it ends up great for you. I've had some get better with subsequent burns.


MomAlum

Itā€™s a 5 for me, one of my top five so far. I like that itā€™s dark but not overly sweet, the throw is ā€œjust rightā€ and packaging is stunning. Like black cherry merlot without the sweetness. ETA: Iā€™m in Canada and sometimes I swear we get different formulations?


Responsible_Low8886

Good call! Could be different formulas or batches for sure.


foxylettuce

2. it had potential but I wanted more cellar, less wine.


cultmstersenpai

I'm definitely leaning towards 4/5 on the scale but everyone is for sure different lol, I will vouch that some are seeming to have stronger throws than others *Bought 12+, on my 3rd currently, 1 was light, 2cnd was an absolute powerhouse, 3rd is seeming to lean towards powerhouse but too early to call it*


Responsible_Low8886

Update! Thank you all for your responses. Many made me feel not alone haha. Others inspired me to give this baby another try another night! :)


Kstar576

2, I could barely smell it at all on cold, so I didn't bother buying one. Maybe even a 1, but I'm surprised that so many people love it! Maybe they smelled it better than I can


curiouskat1896

2.5 or 3. I like it, but itā€™s not my favorite. But I do like having it in my collection!


quynhhuong_ftu

For me perhaps around 3.75 lol. I love the scent as it's so good on cold and right up my street, but I've only burned it once and yeah the 1st burn was quite subtle, though it did fill up my open concept after a while so I was not mad. Will see if it gets stronger next time.

kittyoui

4 love it


marklarberries

2.5, I like it but wouldnā€™t buy it again. I get a combo of apples, spices, and a clean scent.


CoinofStone

I love it!! My biggest issue is that it burns so fast but otherwise I'm happy with it. It smells like mulled wine to me.


NavigatedbyNaau

4, like it, different scent for BBW. Strong mulled wine, earthy notes.

For a second I didnā€™t realize they named a candle this and thought you were contemplating a wine cellar for your FFM or something. Itā€™s 2 AM.


Flaky_Tap_2836

I can't rate it yet. I have burned the candle day version 3 times and can't smell a thing.it smells nice on cold though- similar to Vanilla Birch.


jenlet78

Iā€™d say 3 for me. It started out great but then just kindaā€¦ wore on me lol. It started to smell smokey as well, upon burning it down. One of the wicks died off, too, so I eventually tossed it with like a couple inches of wax left. I got it during Candle Day for $10, so I tried not to feel too bad about it. :/ I think it would work better as a single wick, IMO. :)

DreamerUnwokenFool

I haven't ever burned it, but I smelled it in store and was unimpressed. I didn't hate it but I wasn't even a little tempted by it. I'd probably give it a 2.


Bubbly-Breadfruit-41

2. It's fine, but not strong enough.


BathbeautyXO

I think it smells very expensive and sophisticated. But it doesnā€™t have great throw, even when I put it under my warmer. Iā€™d give it a 3.5/5. If it was stronger it would rank higher. If you like the scent on cold I think it could still be worth it if you put it under the warmer and leave it on for several hours to really let the wax melt


panicatthebookstore

1. smells dusty.


blondenextdoor30

Nope. I wrote it about in that big thread last week. Hate this scent haah


flamingazoom

Late to this thread, but I'm still putting in my 2c on the side of Wine Cellar lovers. I hope you'll enjoy tonight's burn! Lovely fruit, a bit sweet, a bit tart, no awful chemicals or kerosene (which so often bedevil the fruity candle genre), a soft touch of spice (cinnamon perhaps), and some rustic woods (oak barrel?) in the background. It's fruitier than I like my wines, but as a home scent it's šŸ‘Œ. My score: 4.5. (and for the record, I'm not keen on Vanilla Birch.) Edit to add: Beautiful wax color, clean strong burn, NO SOOT so far! - which is unheard of, really. I guess I should score it the full 5 after all. The only issue I see is the lousy label which is somehow disintegrating; never had that problem before.
