Absolute Bliss (closed)

 

Some years ago Cory Topul of Absolute Bliss sent me a bundle of incense samples to look at. Paul Eagle of Happy Hari had just died, but had given Cory details of his suppliers so Cory could carry on the brand. Cory wanted me to check them out and compare them with the Happy Hari originals, and also just have a good time burning good incense. I burned and reviewed a few of the non Happy Hari incenses, but hesitated when it came to the Happy Hari stuff.  I did eventually review one, the Bengali Jungle Fluxo Durbar in 2021, mainly because I was exploring Flora, Fluxo, and Supreme styles of incense. But still didn't deal with the others. For various reasons, I am now reviewing  all the samples he sent me.

Cory died in July 2023 of prostate cancer. His sister had earlier set up a fund-raising page to help pay for medical treatment,  which got me thinking once more about those samples, and also how I could direct more attention to Corey's fund-raising page. The Absolute Bliss website is down right now, and unlikely to return, so I will be marking reviews of these samples as discontinued. The old website can be viewed on WayBack, and Cory's Absolute Bliss FaceBook page is still online.  Meanwhile, the Happy Hari named incense that Absolute Bliss sold can be purchased from the Europe based online Padma Store.
