Top of the list for me is
By the Fireplace. To me it just smells like a vanilla version one of those air fresheners that you plug into an electric outlet. I see so many people talk about how smoky it is and I get zero smoke. And try as I might, there's nothing I smell that makes me think, "Oh, this doesn't smell like smoke to me but I understand how it could smell like smoke to someone else."
And since it only smells like fake vanilla to me, I find the price to be utterly staggering.
So what fragrance is it for you? (I'm guessing there will be a lot of
