We use incense cones as a convenient room freshener, especially in the bathroom; and I am an incense hunter, so when I top up our room freshener cones I do like to look for incenses houses I've not previously reviewed. When topping up this month I came upon Bless International on Amazon, and I was drawn by the name and the packaging, so I bought a pack, but at £4.99 for a pack of 20 cones, I decided to only get one pack, as that is rather expensive for cones.
Looking into Bless International, I note similarities with Raajsee, whose cones I bought at the same time. They are both based in Jaipur, in north India; they both sell tapestries, and other items, along with incense, and the incense cones are bottom end perfume-dipped wood powder cones, possibly sourced from Asia. There is no evidence that they made the cones themselves. The scents are very generic - Sandalwood, Rose, Patchouli, Palo Santo, etc. They have a distribution point in the US and in the UK (via Amazon).

Generic soapy scent on the cone. There is no frankincense or myrrh in this cone - just fragrance aromas blended to give a general scent impression of frankincense and myrrh. The scent on the burn is mostly smouldering wood powder. Placed at a distance away to give the lighter fragrance notes a chance to drift across while the heavier wood smoke scent notes drop away, there is a faint awareness of the soapy smell. It's not great.
This is low quality everyday room freshener incense. Certainly not worth £4.99 of anyone's money. Decent quality incense cones for freshening the house can be bought from Amazon for less than £2 a pack, such as Satya (assortment of 9 packs for £13), and HEM (assortment of 12 packs for £12).
