I began this burn test at 12 noon today and so far this candle is burning perfectly. Burning for more than an hour and a half the wick is strong, mushroomed and the scent can be smelled up stairs. I will let it burn a bit longer and reburn it tonight to see how it does on a second burn. Other than the price being a bit much, this candle is adorable, the concept spot on and the burn vs scent throw good.
