Forest Fragrance White Forest

 

Second review - scroll down for earlier

Machine extruded and highly fragrant stick. One of a handful of one stick samples that I got a few years ago. Available on eBay at $30 for 225g, or from aavyaa at 135 Rupees ($1.50) for 225g.  Those who know that "you get what you pay for" will buy them from eBay because they are obviously much better than the packs from aavyaa. The rest of us who are not actually stupid, will buy from aavyaa. 

I like the fragrance on the stick. It's a modern perfume scent - touches of caramel, floral, musk, vanilla, and sandalwood. Quite beguiling. Some black smoke when the stick is lit, but that goes once the flame is blown out. The scent on the burn builds from the scent on the stick. This is very attractive. I like this. An engaging modern scent, creating a very pleasing fragrance in the room. Quite feminine and sultry. Nice one.

First review

Machine extruded brown stick. Candy sweet. An aroma which is familiar but is escaping me - benzoin? Pine. Floor polish. Minerals. Parma violets Modest aroma when burned. This is a very nice incense with a modern scent. It reminds me of some of the foil wrapped incenses. It is a machine extruded incense which gives the visual appearance of a masala, but without the powder. There's no weight to it. It is very dry. And the aroma on the stick is more of a perfume in alcohol than an essential oil. Also, it is more complex and intriguing than an essential oil. I like this. This is a good everyday perfumed incense with a modern twist, yet grounded in tradition. Bright and cheerful with a solid woody base. I'd be happy to explore more products by Forest Fragrance. 

This was a sample for review. Forest Fragrance are a new company based in Bangalore who sell a range of incenses, both perfumed and masala. There isn't a lot of information on their website, and I can't find any Forest Fragrance for sale in the UK.  I shall see if I can find out more about them.
