Temple of Aromas Black Oud

 


Temple of Aromas is a new UK trader brand selling the same style of incense as the foil wrapped incense supplied by Zam Zam of London, and made by Balarama of Thailand; though the owner, Derrick, who sent me some samples, informs me that he makes the incense himself in London with "natural oils from around the globe". 

Highly perfumed aroma on the stick. Sweet, floral, and fruity. Very attractive, though the cool volatility combined with the commercial sweetness can be a little off-putting. The scent on the burn is a little faint, and contains the smell of smouldering paper from the wood paste. Generally over time the fragrance from these sort of sticks tends to establish itself over the smell of the smouldering wood paste, but in this case the fragrance is struggling, and eventually I lose interest. 

The same or similar sticks under the brand name of Zam Zam can be bought in the UK from various places including direct from Zam Zam for £4.99. This Temple of Aromas branded stick can be bought from Temple of Aromas for £5
