Second of the three Escential Essences branded synthetic-perfumed incense sticks I bought from the US online incense store ExoticIncense, who ship worldwide. Escential Essences is a brand created by a California trader operating under the name Matchless Gifts. The incense is made in the US, possibly by an American tribe such as the Jicarilla Apache, who make Sage Spirit incense sticks.
We liked the Escential Essences Amber Flame. It's a simple synthetic-amber perfumed incense, but the scent worked for us as it was mainly composed of base notes which tend to survive when burned on an incense stick. This Ocean Atlantis, with its marine notes, doesn't work. The scent on the stick is a little sharp with its volatility, and the aroma is that of a cheap bottle of bath foam with some kind of "marine" name. This stick is highly likely to use Calone, a scent molecule devised by Pfizer in 1966, and much used in the fragrance industry when a marine or "sea breeze" aroma is required.

On the burn the sea breeze scent, which is mostly composed of middle and top notes, gets lost, and what is most apparent is the scent of scorched wood. Not good. $3.50 for 16 sticks lasting around 45 minutes each from Exotic Incense.
