Bought from Temu - 32 pieces for £1.27 at time of purchase. Made by a company with Hongru in their name, in Jinjiang, Quanzhou in Fujian, China.
So far, all the incense I've bought off Temu has come from the same area, but with a different address and business name for each - even when the packaging and logo are the same. There is text on the customs notes giving the name of the company, but this is poorly and faintly printed, and the text appears to be a poor machine translation from Chinese into Pinyin, and trying to Google translate Pinyin into English is giving me odd results. I'm wondering if all the Temu incense comes from the same manufacturer.
The name on this incense's customs sheet is very long, and best translates as Red Valve Business Department, along with the names of the city and town where the business is located. I think Hongru is closest to the business name. There is no business name or address on the box in English or Chinese.
Peachy scent on the stick. And peachy scent on the burn. Quite synthetic, but a pleasant enough fruity room freshener.
These are surprisingly inoffensive. It's a bit like smelling on a bag of fruit gums. The base material seems to be fairly ok; I smell a bit of smoke, but it's not harsh.
ReplyDeleteThese are better than a lot of stuff from the Nippon Kodo Morning Star line, which is infamous for using synthetics.
There seems to be no peach in this line, tough.
The Kayuragi line has a White Peach. Now I wonder how they compare...
"inoffensive" is a good descriptor. Nothing to get excited about, but nothing offensive either. For those who want a low impact, low cost, fruity room freshener to light and forget this could well be acceptable. Not my thing, but I wasn't appalled by it.
