A heavy stick. A generous amount of extruded paste on a machine cut bamboo splint. A heady aroma of sage and herbs on the stick. Quite fresh and cleansing. As with the Rose Oudh I've just reviewed there is a lot of black smoke when lighting the stick, and the flames are burning quite hungrily. When the flame is blown out the stick produces the familiar grey smoke. I'm not sure why this happens with some incenses. It tends to happen with incenses that are quite heady. I suspect it is due to using a larger than average amount of DEP. But I don't really know.
The scent on the burn is quite clean and fresh with floral notes hovering above the sage and herbs, and with some sweet musky, patchouli under notes. It is a very attractive scent, though perhaps a tad sweet, and a tad too much like a car freshener or room scent-diffuser to really get me excited.
