Deepika Palo Santo cones

 

Second review - scroll down for earlier

I've been burning cheap Chinese incense all day, so this smells gorgeous. It's all relative. But this smells sweet and musky and oily and resinous and honeyed with dollops of jam. Goodness, I've just glanced down at the score I gave it back in July 2022. Wow. This may be a different batch, and I may be coming to it from a spell of burning duff incense, but I struggle to see how I could have scored this tasty little bugger as low as 21. I'm wondering if this is a mixed up packet, but I see that in 2022 I noted there is a fruit smell. And this is a smoky little bugger. Oh gosh,  this is more than just fruit or dollops of jam, though - this is fresh grapes and aged wine. This is watermelon and cucumber and little squirts of blackcurrants. It's lovely stuff! Great fun! Not much to do with Palo Santo, but an engaging and delightful incense.

First review

Floral and fruit aroma on cone. Mildly woody aroma on the burn - a little hot and smoky. Modest everyday masala cone - a little too smoky for repeat purchase. Not offensive, just not that good.
