The Candle Company Floral Scented Incense Sticks

A set of six packs of floral scented sticks, each pack with eight sticks machine extruded and colour coded to suit the named fragrance. Bought for something cheap in a 99p or £1 store - or maybe a local hardware store. Bought more to support the notion of incense being sold rather than aerosols to freshen up a room. I didn't expect these to be any good. But for a toilet freshener they are cheap as chips, excellent value for money, and less harmful to the environment.

The names of the different packs are Lily, Rose, Lotus, Blossom, Lavender, and Jasmine, but they all end up smelly pretty much the same. The aroma is just the base sawdust. It just smells of burning wood. They are not of much use except to cover up bad smells in the kitchen or toilet. But they at least are not offensive.

The brand is The Candle Company. The company who imports the sticks are ITP Imports of Yorkshire who have an online site Discount Warehouse. They sell them wholesale for 52p a unit.

Stamford Dragon's Fire sticks

Just picked up an almost empty pack of these that had fallen under my desk. I had assumed I'd already reviewed them, but couldn't remember doing so, so came to my blog to check, and find that I hadn't. So here we are. I haven't been doing much incense reviewing for a while - I've been busy on some of my other blogs, and on Real Life. I really need to get busy because I am surrounded by almost empty packets of incense, plus plenty of samples I've been sent which I haven't got around to doing.

This is a nice incense. I tend to like Aargee products. They use a selection of manufacturers, some great, some good, and some not quite so good. They seem, however, to have an incense for every occasion and for every person.  This incense seems to be marketed at those who wish to create a mood, and are perhaps into crystals and healing. The aroma is benzoin and musk. It's warm, seductive, and relaxing. There's a pleasant touch of spice just to stir things up a little. Nice.

And it leaves a pleasant sweet infusion in the room for over 12 hours afterwards. I like when an incense has a lasting and pleasant aroma.
