Forbidden Fruit Glitter Incense Variety Pack 1

A variety pack of three fragrances: Jasmine, Lavender, and Nag Champa. These have been made in India for Cha Cha. I bought these a little while ago, and this variety pack appears not to be available at the moment, though Variety Pack 3 can be bought for around £1.20 for a pack of six sticks. They do look lovely. Almost too lovely to be burned.The sticks are chunky and firm, and quite hard. There is a slight scent on each, but nothing impressive. It seems they are all perfume dipped, but the perfume scent has mostly evaporated, or wasn't able to successfully penetrate the glitter covered charcoal paste, as there is little aroma other than burning charcoal and sawdust.

Style above substance. They look good,
but smell of old coal and sawdust.

Nag Champa

This has the least scent. Low grade sandalwood powder and some tar notes from the charcoal. It's not offensive, but it is fairly pointless.

Score: 20

Jasmine

There is a faint suggestion of something floral here, and there are sharper notes than with the other two.

Score: 22


Lavender

A little hot and smoky, but with some powdery rose.

Score: 21

I like the idea of these, and some consideration has been given in my scoring to the appearance, as well as an awareness that these are not fresh; but essentially they are pointless as incense. The scents are very faint, and mostly of the base material.


Average score: 21
