Conclusion: I really enjoyed Sage Spirit when I first burned them,  and the Blue Corn Flower was one of my top rated scents for a while. But my enthusiasm died down on repeat burns. And some of the scents, especially the Totem Spirit ones, were very weak, so didn't make an impression. I'm keeping an open mind, and would like to sample them again, though only if the price is reasonable - such as if they were sold here in the UK.
