Oh gosh, I am loving these modern fun scents by Oneironaut, a shop in hipster Shoreditch, London. This has raspberry, vanilla, grenadine, white florals, and a general sense of happy pleasing perfume. This is hugely commercial, and I can imagine so many people enjoying this. No, it's not spiritual or deep, but it's damned great fun, hugely lovable, and bloody gorgeous. Sexy as hell. There's musks in here - oh god, there's all sorts going on. I absolutely adore this before even lighting it up. And my experience with Oneironaut so far, has been that the scent on the stick is the scent you smell on the burn. Bang on. No tricks. No nasty chemicals to keep the costs down. Just a mind-blowing awesome blend of great smelling fragrances. They work. They really do.
The scent on the burn takes a moment to settle, then bursts forth with violets, peach, blueberries, lovingly cradled in the arms of warm musk and amber, coloured slightly with oily wood. Oooh this is nice. There are so many scent associations - baked apple, orange, toffee-apple, leather, musk. Radiohead's "Creep" comes to mind as the musical equivalent of this incense. I love it so much! I dare say I'm just getting carried away, and when I return to it in a month or so, I'll take the score down a bit, but for now I'm just blown away!

The scent ingredients are given as Tonka, Myrrh, and Guaiacwood. And they produce a magical accord all of their own - shifting, evolving, and always surprisingly delicious.
Wow! It is very rare to read a review written by you in these exciting words! I wish I could sample.
