Temu Sakura (Cherry Blossom) incense coil

 


A box of unbranded Chinese cherry blossom scented sandalwood coils from Temu for £1.71 for 20 coils. The quality of the Temu bought incense tends to range from budget everyday up to surprisingly decent, while the price is always very low. Temu's operational strategy is to send goods in bulk but in individual packets on which there is a convenience address in the destination territory, and using a convenience address in China, and this appears to avoid VAT and customs fees, thus keeping costs down. 

There is a light but very noticeable sweet fruit scent hovering around cherry. This is more of a cherry scent than a blossom scent. Sakura apparently smells of vanilla, and, yes, there may be some of that in here as well, along with delicate touches of white sandalwood.  It is a fairly bold fragrance for a Chinese incense from a thin coil. I like it. I'd be happy to burn this as an everyday room freshener because it projects so well, and delivers a delicate, uplifting, sweet scent.
