Happy Hari / Cultures of Eden Dragons Blood Incense

 

I still have stocks of Happy Hari incense in my collection. This is some Dragon Blood incense Paul Eagle, the owner of Happy Hari, imported for Holly Paige of Cultures of Eden, who no longer sells incense, but continues to sell cool things via her FoodForConsciousness website. The label is a little faded with age, but the incense is still fine. 

This is quite a dry incense. I have burned two of the sticks previously, though I can't remember when, and I didn't do a review, so I'm not sure if they were always quite so dry. There is a sharp volatile aroma on the stick, indicative of a perfume or oil. The scent, though, is fresh, crisp, quite mineral, a little bit marine, neutral but uplifting. The colour of the paste is Dragons Blood red, though quite dark, almost black. 

To be fair, I think the bulk of the scent on these sticks are carried by the perfume or oil, and because the packet had been opened, some of the finer aspects of the scent has evaporated. On the burn the scent is not as crisp or fresh as on the stick, indeed, it is a little smoky. However, it is still a fine scent, and still carries enough of the significance of dragons blood to make it a worthwhile if not exactly transcendental burn.
