Scent on the cone is synthetic, chemical, pine disinfectant, musty leather, some familiar scents I can't pin down, coconut fibre, violets, kinda attractive in a modest way - nice balance between top and base notes. The fragrance on the burn is mostly sawdust.

From the sublime to the ridiculous. Unicorn's Grace was a lovely incense, full of sweetness and charm, while this Demon's Lust is just another bog-standard cheap cone which has no scent, only the smell of the base material. There is a pleasant violet aroma on the cone, and that may account for the lack of scent when burning, as the chemical component of violets that produces the scent is ionone, which then binds to the scent receptors in the nose and shuts them off to that scent temporarily. It may be that there is so much ionone in the cone, or a particular quirk of burning it, means that it immediately switches off the scent receptors, so all that can be smelt is the base material. Anyway, not much cop these cones. On a level with the bargain basement stuff you can buy off eBay in various gaudy colours.
