Folkessence Trippy Hippy Wanderlust (Aqua Cedar)

 

There is a distinctly similar scent on the stick with each of the first three Trippy Hippy incenses I've reviewed (the next three are somewhat more distinct), which is fairly sharp and bright with a focus on the sort of synthetic fragrances used in laundry and washing up detergents. Rather simple, basic, and not hugely appealing or interesting; though, to be fair, accepting the limitations, not generally offensive either. While some might be offended and find this sort of everyday thing unacceptable, others will find them bright, modern, and attractive. Each to their own.  

The blurb says: "a blend of cooling aqua notes with the warmth of cedar wood ... creates a holistic magical environment ... and fuels your wanderlust. The infused scents will definitely uplift your mood and energize you."

This is a soft, gentle, light, bright, uplifting fragrance. It's quite perfumed in a synthetic manner, and the fragrance is slightly blurred with warm smoky notes, though is inoffensive. and informs the room in a smooth magnolia manner, albeit with a fresh squeeze of tangerine juice. I like this a little more than the previous two Trippy Hippies. I find it a modestly acceptable everyday room freshener. Cleaner, sharper, and more modern than much Indian incense. Indeed, I can see this as having some fans; and while it doesn't really interest me, and is not something I would buy, I am content with burning this in the house in the mornings.
