IMHO, the samplers don't have a strong scent, and can barely be noticed when burning.
As commented by peeps here, the quality of YC is not as good as before. I have used them for a long time, but now thwy smoke more, and the scent too artificial.....
I don't bother with the samplers as without having a shade on, they won't be cat resistent in my household :mysmilie_515:
