Delightful but personally speaking, the sweetness overtook the lime after an hour. The throw is amazing for a 4 out of 5 candle strength rating. That was impressive and on point. Didn't have to wait an hour to get some scent. So you're getting more bang for your buck here. I love the spa-ish jar, very on sleek and aesthetically pleasing with the added glow from the flame. I did get an evocative retro feeling from the scent and I am ecstatic about that. The promise was fulfilled. But I need Circa Home to try and categorise all their creations. Fresh, floral, gourmand, woody, oriental...somehow I have a feeling they can't. Maybe subcategorise? Because I don't know where this falls on the fragrance wheel. Is it gourmand? Is it floral? Is it fresh? Is it oriental? 1977 Pear & Lime is a medley and will blow your mind. And I believe that's what they were going for. Circa Home is not just a home fragrance company, it's a journey. Hence the name. And apparently it's 1977.
