HEM Coconut Mango

 


Machine-extruded perfumed-charcoal incense sticks. Bog standard everyday room fresheners, and cheap as chips. I am up and down with HEM perfumed incense. I like some of the scents, others less so, and some I hate. There is no HEM style, no particular character. They are really just the same as most perfume-dipped sticks. Moksh perfumed incense tends to be heady, perfumed, and well balanced. HEM is simply random.  

Scent on the stick is synthetic room freshener, slightly volatile, with floral notes, mango chutney, vanilla, and something coconutty. It is what it is. I can't say it attracts me at all, but I'm not repelled. Interesting combination, but the blatant synthetic nature of it is rather crude. 

Scent on the burn echoes that of the scent on the stick, but - as is common - is somewhat warmer and more attractive (or less offensive, depending on viewpoint and day of the month). This is a synthetic coconut and vanilla car freshener scent with some old leather and burnt newspaper. It doesn't really work for me, though I find it sweet, warm, and acceptable as an everyday room freshener. There are much better everyday room fresheners, but as part of ringing the changes, I find this OK. Oh - odd boiled cabbage aroma is emerging. I think this is going to be put in the outhouse to freshen it up when the cats are eating.
