Matchless Gifts Escential Essences Paris Cafe

 

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. 

The scent on the stick is caramel, coffee, faint rose, and faint vanilla, possible demerara sugar.  It's kinda dark, sombre, slightly smoky. The scent on the burn is vague, smoky, scorching wood, and might contain some of the elements of the scent on the stick, some burnt vanilla, a hint of cream, but not in any defined way. There's possibly some cassia and some nutmeg oil in this. It doesn't really work for us.   $3.50 for 16 sticks from ExoticIncense.
