I was pleased to find these cones on Amazon - now available on eBay as Ashleys Craft Workshop cones. I was pleased because it appeared they were made in the UK*; they were the Dragon's Blood fragrance I'd been reading about; and they only cost £2.99 for a bag of 50 cones - postage included! What a deal! (I thought at the time....)
*The range of cones sold by Ashleys Workshop appear the same as that sold by Ancient Wisdom importers and distributors. Ancient Wisdom import their incense from India, Thailand and China. I don't know if they are sourced from Ancient Wisdom.
They look great - a lovely velvety red colour, and the aroma in the bag is suggestive of what Dragon's Blood is supposed to smell of - a light camphor aroma, not as toxic as moth balls, but soft and pleasant. But looks are not everything! When they burn, they burn fairly rapidly, with modest smoke and an even more modest aroma. The aroma is simply of light and clean wood smoke - there's no character to it, and nothing of Dragon's Blood.
It's a shame that these cones are so useless!
