Stamford Mythical Range Incense Mermaid's Love

Second review - scroll down for earlier


A sweet fruity and floral scent on the cone - like cherry blossom, with a sage edge. Perfumed, but very pleasant, light, jolly, and uplifting. The scent on the burn is also perfumed, though less attractively so for me. Initially it's like an everyday rose scented body spray underneath a warm nylon top - it's on that borderline of attractive and off-putting (but curiously erotic).  As it settles in the room there is a gentle floral sheen underscored by soft woody base notes - the intriguing and erotic prickles have faded down, and the general impression is soft, floral, and acceptable. The blub says: "The innocent allure of the Mermaid's Love combines the sensual aroma of white rose with the dewy notes of fresh lily that diffuse to arouse pleasure and eternal bliss."  It's an OK room-freshener, though I'm either liking it less than I did in 2017, or the formulation has changed. I think it's more likely me that's changed. The brass incense holder in the pic was sent to me by Aida of IncenseBurnerHolder. It is also available from the Chinese website Shein

First review

Mermaid's Love has a gentle floral aroma with hints of jasmine, which creates a tranquil mood. It's quite creamy, like soap or skin scream, yet has a pleasant edge like fresh sweet tobacco. There is plenty going on here to keep the interest while the room is harmonised in an interesting way. This is a decent little scent, and I quite like it.
