HEM Watermelon

 

Watermelon is an unusual incense scent. This is the first watermelon incense I've come across. But I do recall we had a watermelon car freshener once. We like those dangling car fresheners. In our last car, which was a seven seater with three rows of seats, our daughter, Phocea, made a collection of them, dangling from the front to the back. Because she's both artistic and autistic, she arranged them in colour order (not fragrance order!). 

The scent on the stick is watermelon, but it's also a weird bunch of other things as well, not all of them pleasant. HEM is fairly random. On the whole they are a very popular and professional organisation, and some of their perfumed incense is very attractive. The bulk is acceptable everyday room freshener. But sometimes they offer up some shit like this. If people burn a handful of the shit stuff, it's no wonder they think that HEM as a whole is shit. The odd scents are an open tin of paint, dirt, dust, warm plastic, shoe conditioner. There's also touches of raspberry, though on the whole I'm not enthusiastic about what it's going to be like on the burn. 

Well, to be fair, it's a lot nicer on the burn than on the stick, and not as bad as I was expecting. It is, though, very faint. However, it does have a watermelon scent. Well, the watermelon scent you get in car fresheners and on sweets. Meh. It's OK. Subtle, and cute.
