SAC 7 Arcangels Incense

Attractive box of seven different scents with a theme of seven archangels, each for a day of the week. As SAC have a strong market in Italy, the angel theme would go down well there.

SAC is a decent everyday incense company who make cheap perfume-dipped and masala incense. They also trade under the GR brand.

Jofiel

A gently musky sweet incense with floral overtones. Like a flowery garden on a deep sunny summers day. It is, to be fair, a mostly generic perfumed incense, but is attractively pleasant. Can be used at any time.

Score: 25    

Samuel

The scent is Rose & Honey and resembles a rose tea with a blend of sweet floral and mildly tannic notes. The slightly dry and astringent quality balancing the heady floral notes of the rose. It's a likeable but modest perfumed incense.

Score: 21

 

Gabriel 

This is a lovely sandalwood - it is sweet and yummy. There are no off notes. The scent is firm and clear and lingers pleasantly for a while afterwards. It's good stuff. Nice woody quality moving into a dreamy sweet musky quality. It creates a relaxed and sensual atmosphere. Best used in the late evening, particularly when with someone you wish to seduce...

Score: 35

 

Rafiel 

The scent is jasmine, though is mainly just generic perfumed incense. There is jasmine in the scent - a warm, mildly floral, slightly mineral scent. But it is very run of the mill. Not a great scent. Not offensive, but one to use just for covering up smells.

Score: 18 

 

Uriel 

The scent is cinnamon, though is mainly just generic perfumed incense. Inoffensive, warm, mildly spicy, but with little individual character. It's not a bad incense, but adds little to the house. An incense mainly to burn to cover up smells.

Score: 19

 

Zadquiel

It is distinctly Parma Violets on the stick, a little less so when being burned, where the perfume burns off too quickly, allowing the base material to come through, so it sometimes smells a little more of smoke than of violets, but on the whole is reasonably pleasant.

Score: 20 

 

Miguel 

It's a pleasant everyday scent. The aroma is familiar, but I can't quite pin it down. It's not highly floral or woody - it's quite a mineral scent, fairly neutral. Some suggestion of lavender. Quite cleansing and invigorating. A good scent for the start of the day.

Score: 25
