I reviewed HEM Good Fortune in stick form back in 2019 and really liked it. We bought a mixed pack of HEM cones from Amazon recently because we like to burn cheap and cheerful incense cones in the toilet as a room freshener. We find cones to give a short, intense burst of fragrance, to be neat and tidy to use, and easy to store and use (we empty the cones into a large bowl, and just grab a cone when we need one), so they are ideal as toilet fresheners. Though for more general house fresheners, and just for the pleasure of burning incense I tend to prefer sticks. I'd be interested in doing a cone v stick burn on the same scents to see just what the difference is. I think I like the smoke from a cone more than from a stick, because the scent tends to divide into two columns, which looks really neat.
I like the scent from this cone. It seems to centre round a musky patchouli. Gently sweet, quite dark, with some green notes, and a few playful but thin florals. Very likeable. I wonder if burning this will bring me more money? Perhaps I'll win the Lottery tonight!

I've just looked at my review for the sticks, and it's odd. It's like I'm burning a different incense completely! "It's a rather modern floral scent - it hovers around jasmine, but is cleaner, more sophisticated, and more modern that that." But this cone is very focused on musky patchouli. The only florals are faint. It's warm, sexy, and quite traditional. Not clean, floral, and sophisticated! Curious!
