Amaretto Scented Candles

What amaretto smells like

Amaretto is almond with the volume turned up: sweeter, rounder, faintly boozy. It is a middle note in most of these, which means it shows up once the candle has been burning a few minutes and then holds the scent together. With vanilla and smoke it goes rich and dark. With peach, mango and lime it turns into a warm fruit cocktail. With coconut and banana it goes tropical. Good for people who like sweet scents but want some depth under them.
