Temple of Aromas Black Orchid

Temple of Aromas is a new UK trader brand selling the same incense as the foil wrapped incense supplied by Zam Zam of London who provide incense for a number of UK own brand traders; 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". Perhaps the deal with Zam Zam is that they supply the sticks and the oils, and each trader dips the sticks themselves. 

This is a typical Zam Zam / Balarama stick. Attractive perfume on the stick which is based on a bakhoor style fragrance - woody, alcoholic, and floral.  The scent on the burn is mild, and it doesn't diffuse well. Sometimes there are smouldering wood off notes. 

The same or similar sticks can be bought in the UK from various places including as Regent House Black Orchid for £2.56, or as Zam Zam Black Orchid for £2.49. This Temple of Aromas branded stick can be bought from Temple of Aromas for £5.
