Forest Fragrance Black Forest Incense Sticks

 

Working my way through some samples to clear my backlog. This is another sample from Forest Fragrance, a new company based in Bangalore who sell a range of incenses, both perfumed and masala.  The sample pack is very dark and shiny, so it is hard to read, and even worse when photographed. 

How the packs should look.

This is a machine made perfumed incense. I kinda liked their White Forest as a modern everyday perfumed incense. While this Black Forest has its moments, and is a decent enough everyday incense,  it is not as pleasant or interesting as the White. The scent is a little sharp, and a little vague. Not vague as in mild, because it is strong enough to makes its presence known in a large room, though not in an overpowering way; vague as in the aroma is not defined. It is floral and slightly herbal. On the stick it smells jammy, but sharp with solvent - like raspberry jam on acid. Some of that jam comes through in the burn, and a hint of artificial patchouli. It's an OK scent, but nothing special. I wouldn't go out and buy it, but nor am I going to throw it away or consign it to  the outhouse to keep away the flies. It has a mild seductive warmth, and is OK as a lower end everyday burn.
