I attempted to post a review because these candles for sure are NOT unscented - or they have been sitting in a warehouse with scented items. They have a vanilla-coconut smell. Not overpowering but for someone like me who bought them because I have asthma and allergies when you tell me they are unscented that is what I expect them to be. It may wear off but again, when it comes to matters affecting health I think the hype they kept placing on these being unscented only to find out they smell or the tissue they were wrapped in does is a tad disappointing.
