Third review - scroll down for earlier |
Lemon scent on the cone. Some raspberry, and perhaps faint vanilla. The scent on the burn is darker, some wood, scorching wood like a cigarette burn. some hot ash, small touches of the lemon, and glimpses of vanilla as a suggestion on the wind. To be honest it smells like a cheap perfumed cone. The blurb says: "Enjoy this enchanting aroma of Patchouli and Vanilla in Wizard's Spell. It's unique and subtle essence will drift you gently to a magical kingdom". I have come down a long way from my original score of 35. I'm not liking this at all. I get no patchouli (never have in any of the versions we've had), and only hints of vanilla. The main scent has always been lemon, and the some burning wood.

There's a sort of sour candy scent to this. A bit of lemon and a bit of banana, but when burned the smoky sawdust core intrudes. Not the best as my daughter says.

First review |
Volatile lemon notes. Crisp, clean, slightly chemical, but quite fresh. This is quite sharp compared to the candy-sweetness of some others in the range, though the candy-sweetness does come through when burning, edged with the sharp steel of the lemon. This is like a lemon-sharp boiled sweet - you get both the acidic bite, and the soothing sugar. There's also a pleasing balsamic sandalwood supporting the scent, making this quite rounded. While initially sceptical, I am coming under the charm of this wizard's spell!
Date: March 2017 Score: 35
