Aromatika Benzoin Incense Cones

 


I like benzoin (also called loban and sambrani). As with frankincense and myrrh, it is a tree resin; it comes from the sap of the Sal tree

There is a warm and pleasant musk and mineral scent both on the cone and while burning. Unfortunately, the scent is quite soft so the core burning material (wood dust) comes through and disturbs the harmony of the scent. However, while not being the most successful benzoin scent I have tried, it is an acceptable everyday incense, cleansing and invigorating the room, and lifting the spirits.
