Flourish Fragrance Jasmine

 

I have a few samples of Flourish incense - a mix of perfumed and masala style. I had one sample a few years ago - their perfumed Violet, and wasn't impressed. I note that I got the impression back in 2021 that the company was formed in 2009 - I may have got that impression from their Facebook page, though on their website, they say they began in 1965, and that they are currently a third generation incense house.

This is a machine extruded synthetic perfumed stick. The whiff on the stick is unpleasant. It's like toilet disinfectant blocks. There is some black smoke and vigorous flame when lit, suggestive of DEP, which is used as a scent fixative.  There is some thin, smoky synthetic jasmine scent on the burn. It's not that attractive, though there is some awareness left in the room of light jasmine. 

Flourish Fragrance Jasmine may sometimes turn up on eBay, and can be bought from Aavyaa in India with free international shipping if you spend over £50.  The incense holder I'm using was sent to me by Aida of IncenseBurnerHolder.com which has a range of incense holders. It's cute, and we like it, though because it's narrow, the ash can and does sometimes fall outside. Those who use the Chinese website Shein, may notice that it is also available there.
