Gonesh No. 4 Perfumes of Orchards & Vines

 


Perfume-dipped charcoal stick made in America. The cold throw scent on the stick is bursting with sweet fruits: cherries and berries and cough sweets. it's young, modern, bold; very superficial but great fun.  

The scent on the burn is more of the same, though a little smudged. There is more light and clarity when the stick is placed further away. It's more vibrant than a car air-freshener, and there's the attraction of burning incense, but there is this odd sense of cultures clashing. I like it. I like the freshness of it. There is a sense of youth and vitality and fun, that is not always there in a more traditional incense. 

I've always tended to "have a soft spot" for bold modern fragrances in my incense. For me it is part of the variety and fun.  This is not a serious incense, but it is decent quality. Comparable with the better perfumed-incense makers in India like HEM and Moksh. And I don't think I would argue if someone said  they are better quality.
