Musky and honey sweet scent on the cone. As is typical with Crottendorfer cones, the scent is mild and elusive, but it is there, and it is nice. A suggestion of frankincense, and a hint of table polish. The main element I take away is a warm sweetness.
The scent on the burn is similar to the scent on the cone, though a little colder and less sweet. Best burned at a distance otherwise elements of the combustible will also be inhaled and smelled - this introduces a blend of coal dust and mild wood smoke, or - rather - a scorched wood smell. I quite like the scent. I have learned from experience with Chinese and Japanese incense to be patient with mildly scented incense, though my preference is for incense to be more noticeable and to last longer, so Crottendorfer cones are not really for me, even though the scents can be somewhat pleasing.
Sold in boxes of 24 cones for €1.95, and available direct from Crottendorfer. Cones burn for approx 10 minutes with a faint scent that doesn't linger for long.
