Stamford Magic Angel Incense Sticks



Machine made from charcoal paste and volatile perfumes onto a pink dyed stick. Initially a clean, slightly antiseptic, slightly artificial medicinal aroma arises - this has some sharp notes. Gradually warmer sandalwood and musk notes emerge, combined with a candy sweet fragrance. Overall, a fairly pleasant and attractive scent suitable for most everyday occasions. It doesn't grab attention, and is too sweet for the kitchen or bathroom, while the sharp, slightly artificial notes I find a little off-putting; but on the whole, a decent everyday scent. Lifts a room and is quite welcoming.

The more I burn this, the more I like it. Clean, sweet, pleasant, and lingers attractively a long time. 


Date: Feb 2015   Score: 39 

[2025 note: I reviewed the Magic Angel Cones in 2019, and the score was 20. I have re-reviewed a number of Stamford incenses in 2025 (and earlier), and in all cases moved the score down. The average score for Stamford incense is 25. In conclusion I feel the 2015 score for this incense is not reliable, and am applying the Stamford average score of 25 until such time as I re-review this Magic Angel in stick form].
