Woodwick Candle Warm Woods Trilogy Medium Jar sells for $22.99 on Amazon. Although you might think a woods-scented candle is only for men, it actually has a scent that both males and females can appreciate. The trilogy has three different scents in one candle. Woodwick candles have a very potent fragrance, which make you feel like you are in a completely different environment dependening on which scent you burn. The wick burns like a fire since it is wood, and the sounds are crispy and cackling, which remind you of a fireplace. You can never go wrong with a Woodwick, especially a 3-in-1 scented, medium-sized candle, which will keep the recipient’s home smelling of a pleasant day in the woods.
