My girlfriend got me this candle for Christmas last year since we recently took a trip to Joshua Tree. I can confidently say that this candle reminds me of my trip to Joshua Tree and is the best candle I've ever smelled. It's a warm smell, kinda deserty I think, and it's not one of those over-bearing Bath & Body Works type of candles. This is a real candle lol & if you love Joshua Tree then try this damn thing! Promise you won't be disappointed
