Match Incense are made by Amina Agarbatti Works Pvt. Ltd., a small company based in Mumbai, India, and founded in 1995. I can't find much information on them, other than they make a range of cones all packaged in imitation Indian matchboxes. Few places seem to sell them, which is a shame, as the matchbox idea is really good. The cones are quite small, and the scent is quite light, but they are attractive.
They burn very quickly, and the blend of burnt herbs and perfumed scent can be a little unbalanced for my taste, but overall a decent little low budget everyday incense. The match box idea is so cute. It makes them quite collectible as the match box images are very attractive. And the boxes can be used afterwards for storing spare buttons or paper clips.

Daisy
Box of twenty small sandy coloured cones by Amina of Mumbai; bought from Incense Essentials for 75p. These have a pleasant mix of floral and fruit. with hints of citric and bergamont.
Date: August 2013 Score: 23
Kiwi
Bought in a hippy shop on Market Square in Faversham for £1.25 for a box of 20 cones. . The cones are coloured a light green, and the aroma is fresh and fruit like, with a suggestion of kiwi, though other tropical fruit scents can be made out. It is a clean, refreshing aroma, with base notes of warm sandal and musk, and some bergamot on the way to the fresh, citric high notes.
Date: March 2013 Score: 30
Pineapple
A pleasant light citric aroma - mildly sweet and tropical. These are modest everyday incense cones, which burn quickly, but have an enjoyable, uplifting aroma which freshens a room.
Date: August 2013 Score: 30

I wish I could buy them in the states!
ReplyDeleteThey are not often available here in the UK either. To be fair, they are not the best incense cones in the world, but the boxes are VERY cute! You know, I'm pretty sure I bought a bunch of them a while back which it looks like I haven't reviewed. I might have a rummage later to see if I can find them!
