Tulasi Lotus

While sorting through my incense stocks yesterday, I came upon a few boxes of Tulasi that I had been reviewing last year. I've decided to go through them again - partly because they are quick and easy, and make a change from the resins that I am currently exploring, but also because I know that I never got around to reviewing them all, so there will be a few scents I've not tried yet. This is one that I have tried. It's a basic everyday perfume-dipped charcoal stick. It has a modest, slightly sharp, chemical based floral scent. Fairly light, and reasonably acceptable. There is nothing interesting or particularly aesthetic about this - it's just a cheap, easy room freshener. I'm not a huge fan of floral scents, so this doesn't hold much attraction for me. It is on the border of a simple toilet freshener and the lower end of an everyday incense.

Another in the Floral series, the lotus is the national flower of India. I've only encountered two other lotus scented incenses, and both of those were part of a pack - Sifcon Enchanting Bouquet Variety Pack, and The Candle Company Floral Scented Incense Sticks. Neither of those were very good, but this one is reasonably pleasant. Quite a heady, floral scent, though somewhat spoiled by the intrusion of the smell of the burning of the cheap charcoal used as the base (yes, I cheated slightly in the picture, the stick being burned in the picture is the Tulasi Meditation - this Lotus stick is dyed red, with a black charcoal base).

On the whole I'm not too displeased with this one, it's at the lower end of an everyday stick, but it is a little better than just a toilet cleaner.
