GR Rose Incense Cones

This is in the GR (previously GR International) Exotic New Fragrance range. There's an initial very pleasing rose scent. Nothing especially profound, but clearly floral, slightly sweet, and reasonably attractive. The response was positive here. As it burns so the core material - which appears to be a blend of charcoal dust and wood dust - gets hot and the volatile rose perfume gets burned away leaving just the smell of the core material, which is common to all cheap perfume-dipped incenses.  So after a positive start as an everyday floral incense this fizzles away into toilet cleaner incense.

I learned recently that GR is the same company as SAC.  This makes sense as they are very similar. I reviewed SAC Rose cones  in March 2017, and concluded they were toilet cleaner material rather than every day incense.  Ah look - I just found that I reviewed GR International Rose cones in April 2013. That's five years ago! And my comments then were very similar to today, though I was a little more tolerant back the, and scored it 23, as a bottom end everyday incense.
