Jaycia Passion Spicy Wood

 

The Jaycia Passion range of perfumed charcoal incense is fairly utilitarian - it has no pretentions to be anything other than a basic set of  air fresheners. And, to be fair, it reaches that basic aim. Not very well, but not that badly either. I like this Spicy Wood. The wood in the name is not clear, as there is just a general generic woody scent - it's not sweet enough for agarwood, nor warm enough for cedarwood, or creamy enough for Indian sandalwood - the nearest equivalent would be Australian sandalwood. It's rootsy, woody, and a little bit spicy. I like woody incense so I am inclined towards this. A pleasant, harmless, synthetic scent that works well. I might keep it in the house rather than put it out for the cats.

Fairly ordinary room freshener charcoal perfumed-dipped incense. I bought a bundle of these cheaply wholesale as an add-on to a more serious wholesale incense purchase. Then wasn't sure what to do with them. They're not bad, but they're nothing special either. Just an everyday room freshener. This one is Spicy Wood, and it's got those characteristics. So it works well enough for what it is.  It's long burning, though fairly light, and is consistent through the burn.  

Manufacturer unknown. Packaged and distributed by Jaycia,  a wholesaler in Birmingham. 

Scent is mildly spicy with some gentle woody notes. It inclines toward sweet in a restrained way, with notes of vanilla and coconut. The longer this burns the more I like it, and it gently informs and warms the room in an attractive way. Would work as a modest everyday welcomer for guests, particularly in winter. Would work well as a general Christmas scent. 

Yeah. Not bad.  

Can be bought on eBay.
