The scent on the stick is fresh, lively, quite juicy, compelling spice notes, woods, grass, bananas, alcohol, tobacco. A fascinating melange. There's a vague sense of coconut as well, but not bang on. I think the coconut scent has been created out of other scents, and it hasn't quite worked, but it has produced a clash and clamour of scents which puts me in mind of the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins, particularly The Leaden Echo and The Golden Echo.
The fragrance on the burn is equally complex and fascinating, though points more clearly toward coconut. It's a somewhat beguiling and seductive scent - a musky, sweet base leading up to some joyful fruit and floral notes. It is somewhat crude and brash with its clearly synthetic fragrance oils, but that is part of its charm - those rough edges are very compelling, and give spice to what might otherwise be an everyday commercial sweet coconut scent. I like this.
