Buyers' weakest aspect (scent strength) aligns with video reviewers' concern that scent strength may be overwhelming for small or shared spaces, though buyers actually report the opposite problem.
In their words
“Volcano is the most amazing scent in the world and it truly brightens my mood! Everyone I know falls head over heels in love with it. I have this gorgeous blue reed diffuser in my home and have two Volcano candles in my office at work. Everyone always compliments how lovely my home and office smells.”

“I bought this to help with odor in my house. I have two dogs and am constantly trying new things. The smell is amazing but I feel like unless you’re a foot away from the bottle, you don’t smell anything. Not sure it’s worth $40. Maybe $15?”
