Anyone bought the Jo Loves Christmas Trees candle...?

I want to get it for a friend, but wondering if it's worth the cost or if I am better going for something she has had before and I know she likes (but has also had 100+ before.)

I think it's the 'pine' element which makes me wonder if it smells as ££ as it sounds!

Any views that aren't via websites from people who have bought it would be great! (I have bought Jo Malone candles before and also Malin and Goetz, both are great but wondering about other 'treat' brands.)

ps it's one she has hinted at, hence the decision making!

If it's a gift, and the person has directly hinted at that specific one then I'd just save myself the indecision and get that; presumably she knows what it smells like or is likely to smell like. Most of the time these things are really about having something luxury/ that you like the look of or just having something from a certain brand at home to enjoy, I'm sure she'll be thrilled and its likely to be the same quality as any others she's had before.

I don't tend to buy Jo Malone (or Jo Loves) but candle-wise I do like Byredo, Boy Smells (just ordered one at Liberty for a christmas gift as they're 15% off) albeit I hate the name 'boy smells', the candles I've had are lovely. I'm equally happy with a candle from TK Maxx though, who do some fantastic ones.
