What does a love spell smell like? It smells like soft flowers, citrus and something else that's lovely but not girly. It's not the fake flowery smell of cheap perfume nor the chemical smell of a bubble bath nor the offensively strong floral scent of air fresheners. It's a soothing blend of flowers, fresh air and fruit that's equally refreshing and relaxing. I didn't expect to like the candle. I bought it out of curiosity. But I LOVE this candle.
