Green Tree Yoga Tree

 

Third of four Green Tree incense samples that Irene of Rauchfahne sent me. The incense is generally good in the standard of Satya and Goloka. And the packaging is usually attractive. Green Tree are a Dutch distribution company based in Rotterdam who sell their own-brand masala incense made for them by an Indian private label incense company like Fair Trade / Incense Collective.  Yoga Tree and other Green Tree incenses are available in standard 15g packs usually for between £2 and £3 in the UK, US, Australia, etc.  My one quibble with Green Tree incenses is that they tend to be rather mainstream and commercial - sort of Hear'Say rather than the Sex Pistols or Bob Dylan. But that's the quibble of a reviewer - as a consumer, I find them very likeable, easy burning, and good value for money room-freshener incenses in the style of Nag Champa. 

 

Scent on the stick is warm, perfumed, powdery, ticklish, sweet. There's a street market unisex cologne, some honey, faint sandalwood. It's a pleasant scent, well done, inviting, and quite commercial. I like it. 

The scent on the burn is a blend of woods and florals typical of Nag Champa. It's very attractive. I like it a lot. It can drift toward being dry and spiky, but on the whole this is a decent mainstream perfumed-masala incense. There's nothing special or distinctive about it. I've smelled it before, and I'll smell it again. For anyone who likes mainstream Nag Champa type incense, this is an incense to light up and forget. It'll do its job of fragrancing the home, and it's a fair price.
