Soul Sticks Aztec Aromas Lotus

 

The lotus is the national flower of India. But this is an Aztec themed incense. However, lotus is part of myth stories of the Mayas, who were neighbours of the Aztecs, so the Aztecs might have the same stories about the lotus. Plus, the Aztecs did have a fascination with flowers, so it is likely that the Aztecs had an association with the lotus flower. However, I've not found a direct connection between the lotus and the Aztecs on a quick Google search. 

Some perfume comes off the stick - quite cool, somewhat floral, a little damp. Kinda softly intriguing. It's a very, very soft fragrance on the burn. Hardly noticeable. I've gone through three different sticks, and each have been the same. There's hardly anything here. I knock off the ash, and waft the barely noticeable smoke toward me (not recommended, as incense smoke is toxic - best just to let the fragrance fill the room without breathing in the smoke), and still don't get much. It's a fairly clean scent, leaning a little toward jasmine, a little bit like soap, some faint fruit. Phew. It's actually hard to get much out of it. It's a vaguely pleasant scent. Nothing interesting or uplifting. Ho hum.
