Second review - scroll down for earlier

Found this in one of my incense boxes. It's the same packet I reviewed in 2020, nearly four years ago. In my experience the scents on the cheaper perfumed charcoal sticks tend to evaporate fairly quickly - though much depends on the packaging and storage. I keep most of my incense in boxes away from light and heat, which helps. These are machine extruded sticks; my observation on these is that they tend to last longer than hand-rolled sticks. Not sure why - possibly due to the charcoal paste being firmer. There is a pleasant fragrance on the stick - floral, sweet, suggestions of chocolate, some bubble gum, vanilla, and baby talc. Nice.  

The scent on the burn is soft, and takes a while to make an impression. There is a mild burnt note, though on the whole the fragrance is similar to that on the stick - a little woodier and heavier, but still pleasantly light, sweet, and floral with vanilla or tonka bean notes.

First review

An attractive everyday perfume-dipped incense. The scent on the stick is fairly acidic with alcohol fumes and toilet cleaner. More attractive when burned, though it never lifts out of the everyday. There is a mild chalky sweetness with hints of candy sugar and vanilla. It's OK, but it's not rocking my world.
