Fair Trade Om Exotic

 

Machine made masala incense of limited appeal. Attractive enough but lacks weight. There is a gentle and pleasant scent on the stick, quite sweet with musk and sandalwood supporting soft orange tinged citric tones. A mid range of wet, slightly sour, leather adds interest. But it's the candy sweetness with suggestions of white chocolate that mostly holds the interest. Sadly the promise of the stick is not delivered when burned. The scent is very modest, and what mainly comes through is the base elements, such as the halmaddi and the sandalwood. I am sensitive to halmaddi, so what I mostly get from burning this incense is a headache, and little in the way of interesting or attractive scent to compensate. There's heat, smoke, some rubber, and a few other things to add to the halmaddi and sandalwood. Based on my previous experience with the Fair Trade Incense Works, they are well meaning, but fairly limited.
