Stamford Mythical Range Incense Werewolf's Bite

 

Second review - scroll down for earlier 

There is a chemical volatility on the cone along with vinegar, musk, woody notes hovering around a dark sandalwood, and some vague balsamic resin. It's more attractive than it sounds. On the burn there's some soft smouldering wood notes, but there's also sweet resin - a gentle combination of frankincense and myrrh, such as I find on HEM's Frankincense and Myrrh, though not as pleasant. It's not as warm and sweet as I would like. There's a coldness about it. However, it is generally pleasant and likeable.  

The blurb says "Sense the strength and grip of frankincense and myrrh in the Werewolf's Bite, a rare incense that is sure to heighten one's untamed self."  And I see that back in 2017 I noted frankincense and myrrh, though at that time packs didn't have a blurb on them. This is a nice cone. The more it burns the more I like it. This is pretty much how I remember the Mythical Range being. Attractive room fresheners. Though I'm not as enthusiastic as I was back in 2017.

First review

I have been quiet for a little while, meanwhile more incense is being delivered to the house, and I'm exploring Egyptian and Persian incense, which is somewhat exciting me. But I have a few bits and pieces of incense on my desk that need to be cleared away, including a couple more of the Mythical Black cone series. As with most of the others, the Werewolf's bite has a sweet, slightly musky scent which I find very appealing - this is a sweet woody scent with good hints of frankincense and myrrh that is sensual, yet light and fun. It is flexible enough to be used for a variety of occasions, and is an ideal everyday incense. I love this. Yummy!
