A modest but neat Green Tree masala incense in an attractive box with an interesting name. Gentle and respectable marketing that I can get with, and a decent though modest everyday masala incense that is appealing. Green Tree do not make incense, so this is an own label brand. Hand of Fatima (15g) is sold at ScentedAndMore for £2.50.
The Hand of Fatima, also known as Hamsa, has been popular in the Middle East and Mediterranean area, particularly North Africa, for around three thousand years. It is associated with Jewish and Islamic religions, as well as with Carthage and Egypt. It represents a hand and an eye, warding off which can be used to ward off evil and offer protection.
The sticks are 8 inches long with between 5 1/2 and 6 inches of incense very neatly and tightly hand rolled onto plain bamboo splints. The hard black paste is coated in fine brown wood powder, and there is a gentle, refined, and modest perfume on the stick with barely noticeable volatility.
The scent is clean, somewhat floral, with a gentle awareness of halmaddi. It's an attractive though modest stick, which will gently and briefly inform and lighten a small to medium sized room. Burning time is between 30 and 40 minutes. I don't think there is a lot here for the price, but all in all an acceptable low end everyday masala incense that will gently lighten a room.
