Stamford Amber

  


I reviewed this as part of the Stamford Exotic Collection back in June 2014, and said: "Heady perfume on the stick. Sweet, floral, citric. Mild scent on burning - slightly soapy with notes of vanilla and sherbet. Score: 21". There is an acidic volatile scent on the stick, and a muffled vague aroma on the burn. Not impressive. I don't know how old these samples are - I can't remember when I got them, but I suspect they are not fresh, and being basic perfume-dipped sticks, the light notes have evaporated. That evaporation is one of the significant downsides to basic perfume-dipped incense. 

Anyway, there is little awareness of amber in these sticks, even when fresh, and when not fresh, they are not much use even as a basic room freshener.
