What to do with campfire FO?

[Paintguru]

So a while back I picked up a campfire FO from The Flaming Candle.  OOB, it definitely smells smokey like a campfire!!  However, it is pretty overpowering, and I've smelled campfire candles before that are overly smokey IMO.  Any thoughts on how to tone this down/blend this with something else interesting?  I was thinking maybe a fall leaves type FO to hopefully give the smell of burning leaves.  Maybe add it to leather and grass for a cowboy type fragrance.  Thoughts?

Blend it with marshmallow - that really helps make it more mild and it does tone down once in wax also

Maybe a pine or other wood type smell

My thoughts too. Marshmallow mixed with campfire scents smell really good!

Just like coffee and other really strong fragrances, keep the blend of the fireplace down to a very low percentage. Too much and you will get a BBQ smelling candle, if that's not what you want  Or try and blend it a bit with something musky.
