Harmony Incense: Musk / Heritage




Bought from my local corner supermarket for a £1. These are perfumed dipped sticks, but quite pleasantly perfumed, with few off notes. It's a poor quality hex box, with no supporting box inside. Poorly designed and printed. So I wasn't expecting much, and was quite pleased that the perfume is acceptable.  These are not sticks I'd buy again, but I didn't find them offensive.

They are made in India by the Swaminarayan organisation, and are imported into the UK by Mukti, a tea importing company.

Musk
The least attractive of the two I bought. As with a number of perfumed dipped incenses the aroma is pleasant at first, but starts to reveal its weakness after a while, This is a little sharp with aerosol room freshener and shoe polish notes. There are no musk notes. Quite perfumey in a cheap way. Not unpleasant or offensive in small doses, but not an incense I would buy again.
Score: 21

Heritage
This is reasonably pleasant with a musky base and suggestions of sandalwood. Not hugely different from the Musk, but deeper, and more pleasant.
Score: 25

Overall Score: 23
