Sterno Home 4-Inch Tall Flameless Rustic Pillar Candle - Pomegranate Scented with 5-Hour Timer, Currant Red - Perfect for Home Decor, Romantic Dinners & Relaxing Bath Time

These are scented, but you can't smell them unless you pick them up and rub them on your nose. Not why I bought them, though, so not a big concern. They do smell nice, though.These take 2 AA batteries. This is good, because I have a few dozen rechargables for my camera, and after the camera stops working with them, I take them out and put them in these candles. As of today, they've been running 5 days on batteries that won't even turn on my camera.It has a 3-position switch. Off/On/Timer. The timer works as expected. I turned them both on at 5pm, and at 10pm, they turned off. Perfect. I would, however, really like to see a 4-position switch so I could set them for the winter at 5 hours, and the summer at 2 hours. As it stands now, they will be wasting battery from 5pm to 9pm during the summer.The flickering is realistic enough. If you put them up on a shelf where you can't see right in them, they will fool the average glance. I put mine on the top of my 5' dresser in my bedroom for ambiance. They aren't very bright, it's simulating a flame deep in the candle, so don't expect them to be a nightlight. They are accent pieces, and do a good job as such.They are real wax, so don't put them near heat.Overall, a solid buy if you want flame-less candles. I bought this one and the 6" as well for a set. It would be nice if they packaged the two for a discount. I will be ordering the blonde/gold/whatever-colored ones soon for the other room.
