This is the first of four Green Tree incense samples that Irene of Rauchfahne sent me. Green Tree are a Dutch distribution company based in Rotterdam who have some own brand masala incense made for them by an Indian private label incense company. The incense is generally good. And the packaging is usually attractive.
The scent on the stick is divine. Sweet, sherbet, vanilla, perfumed, floral, joyful, uplifting and feminine. It's a beautiful young woman in a summer dress walking through a field of flowers on a crystal bright sunny day - she is eating a Sherbet Fountain, clouds of sherbet floating around her.
The scent on the burn is woody, sherbet, floral, vanilla, pleasant, balanced, solid. This is a decent incense. Probably a little too floral and sherbet sweet for my taste; or perhaps just too pretty and well behaved. I'd like there to be something dark and/or dirty to be going on. But it's a solid, appealing, commercial incense - a bit like a girly Nag Champa. I find it attractive and likeable, and quite happy to burn it as an uplifting, sweet, Sunday morning incense, but it's not going to rock my world. Professionally made, solid incense - could be something by Satya, Goloka, or Fair Trade/Incense Collective. I like this. I've liked all the Green Tree incense I've had.
