Joie Lily of the Valley

Warm, woody, burning herbs. Cheap, but not that attractive. It's OK, but this is not an incense I'll buy again. The smell is mainly of burning herbs, with some sharp acrid notes in there. There are warm floral notes with touches of vanilla, and occasionally some pleasant warm musk and sandalwood notes come to the fore very pleasantly, so all is not lost, but this is not consistent. These sticks are at the lower end of the scale for your cheap standard Indian incense. If the warm musk notes could hold their own, I'd like these a lot more.
