Cottage Industries Heritage No. 15 Rose

   


Pleasant scent of coconut on the stick which has a faint pink blush.  Some coconut again on the burn, though also some smouldering wood or paper.  A modest scent with touches of vanillin wrapped in the general smouldering wood. Dry. Faint wispy papery hints of floral. An overall modest scent, but one that is not quite as appalling as I presented it earlier this year. Not sure if the difference is the warmer weather, the fresher air (more open windows in the warmer weather), or my mood or attitude, but as I am approaching some of these Heritage range Cottage incenses for the second time, I'm liking them a bit more. Not a lot, to be fair, but certainly the appreciation is upward

First review

I'm not a fan of Cottage incenses - I find them dry, faint, old fashioned, and boring. Miserly might be another word. They lack passion and generosity and fun. And they are not interesting. I'm not a fan of rose as an incense scent - I find it cloying, suffocating, boring, old fashioned, and with negative associations. So a rose scented incense by Cottage is possibly not going to be one I'm going to enjoy....

Scent on the stick is perfumed, modest, pleasant, sweet, fruity, with touches of vanilla, and a hint of pink blushing rose. The scent on the burn is dry, small, smoky, with an awareness of sweet florals and a sharp woody base. It's not really comfortable or attractive, but is moderately acceptable.
