There's a distinct sweet damask rose scent on the stick. A little simple, but acceptable and moderately attractive. I reviewed Precious Rose as a cone over five years ago, and I wasn't impressed then. I tend to prefer sticks over cones, though I've not yet done a side by side with the same incense in cone and stick variations to see what (if any) difference there is between the two forms. I finds cones more convenient in certain places because they are tidier. But I do find that they can deliver too strong and heady a fragrance in a short space of time, so on the whole I prefer not to burn cones in the same room as I'm in. We use them mostly in the toilet.
One of the first incenses I reviewed was Hem Precious Musk in the cone. I really didn't like it, and gave it a very low score of 8. Much of the scent on the burn of this Precious Rose reminds me of the negative issues I had with the Precious Musk. It smells old and damp. Yes, there's rose here, and it is light and floral, but the overall impression is not something I find attractive. I don't find it so offensive I would rate it as low as an 8, but on the whole this is not a scent for me. It is, though, on this showing, more pleasant than my experience with the cone.
