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".
Conflicting scent on the stick. Quite sharp and volatile with coconut, jasmine, vanilla, and tropical fruits, lemons and pineapple. It's something of a mad clash. There's little harmony here. And it's very synthetic and chemical.
The scent on the burn is more musky - initially the base notes come from the smouldering wood paste, though as the fragrance builds up from the impregnated perfume, the musky coconut base notes emerge. It does, however, remain muddled and chemical. Subtle vanilla, honey, and chamomile notes emerge, which lift the incense, but not quite enough to make this a particularly interesting or pleasurable incense.

This Temple of Aromas branded stick can be bought from Temple of Aromas for £4.
