Sai Handicrafts Rose

 


These sticks look pretty, and they have a pleasant powdery sweet floral scent on the stick, leaning toward Turkish delight, though with some fresh, rain splashed rhododendrons in there. Gentle, mildly intriguing, though a tad too perfumed for my taste. I've enjoyed some rose incenses, though on the whole it's not a scent I like to cuddle up to. 

It's a smidge smoky on the burn, as well as being somewhat vague, so the mind tends to focus on the blurry smell of grey smoke. Aside from the smoke there's a slight acidic sharpness, and a sense of floral, more jasmine than rose. On the whole, while mildly pleasant, this is not my huckleberry. 

Best burned while listening to "Moon River" sung by Audrey Hepburn. Available from Sai Handicrafts at approx 15g for £2.00
