Wild Berry Fizzy Pop incense cones

Oh my god this is bad! It's like the smell of burning hair. Good grief! We had to put it outside the house. This is so bad it can't even be used to cover up bad smells, because there ain't many smells this bad, so burning this would just make things worse. Phew!

It smelt OK on the cone - sort of like a child's sour-fruit sweet - a sort of chemical lime scent. I liked it, though I was alone in that, as the others thought it was too chemical and artificial. But the scent on the cone does not prepare you for the experience of what it is like when burned. Gee whiz.

OK. Had another go of this. Same cones, so these are two years old. I'd found the pack, and lit it before remembering the experience we had two years ago of it smelling like burning hair. Well, this one doesn't smell of burning hair at all. I suspect that our cone had a bit of hair in it when it was made. As expected with a low quality perfumed incense, most of the scent has evaporated, but there is still enough of the original scent to pick up that it does, indeed, smell like fizzy pop. The scent is, though, quite light, with notes of burning charcoal ( a sort of naked mineral coal dust) mixed in. 

To be fair, this isn't an unpleasant scent, and we clearly just happened to burn a rogue cone two years ago.
