However, while smelling it this weekend the first thought that came to mind was Lifesaver's peppermint candies. This is the first peppermint candle that I've ever smelled that actually smells like peppermint.
I've bought a lot of peppermint candles and most of them smell minty but they don't have the real essential oil smell of peppermint. Many of the peppermint candles seem to have a light vanilla background to tone down the scent which may be why they only smell minty but not pepperminty.
I also like the vanilla in the background (I think PI offers this as Snow Clouds) but it should not be called a pure peppermint candle if it doesn't smell like pure peppermint. I've also noted a fuel smell when burning other peppermint candles. After I burn PI's I will update everyone on the strength and how it smells burning.
I bet it will smell fantastic! On cold smell this candle is worthy of the Peppermint title
