Fumino Coco Cinnamon

 

As with the other Fumino incense I've burned, there's a very attractive men's cologne scent on the stick, a little musky, a little Arabian bukhoor, a little bit Old Spice. There's also some coconut and some sharp, light, nutty, sweet, wood, like beech. A little perfumed, but still highly attractive and compelling. 

Blurb on the back

As with other Fumino, and indeed, many perfume based incenses, the scent on the burn is not quite as compelling as on the stick. A number of the sweeter, higher notes are weak or missing, there's more deep notes, altering the balance, and there's a smoky element. It remains an attractive room freshener, but much of the appeal and complexity has been lost - it's a narrower, deeper scent, predominantly burning wood. Fragranced wood to be sure, so pleasant enough, but there's little counterpoint. I'm not getting much, if any, cocoa or cinnamon. 

On the whole a pleasant room freshener, but a little disappointing after the attraction of the scent on the stick.
