There is a pleasant note of sweet licorice on the cold throw scent on the stick. Warm, quite natural scent on the burn. Fairly soft and attractive. There's a feel of a rustic music festival from the Seventies - bonfires in the distance, and cannabis closer by. Some chocolate, resin, and licorice notes rounds it out nicely. I get out the document that comes with the incense (each Smells Like Smells incense comes with quite a detailed document giving details of the ingredients, the person in Norse mythology after whom the incense is named, and a ritual to perform while burning the incense), and note that the main fragrance ingredients are listed as frankincense, agarwood, and licorice. And I can see that. This is actually much softer, and more rounded, and more resin based than other Nepalese style incense I've burned. I quite like this. Much more than I expected.
Available as a glass tube of approx five sticks from Forest Home at £7, shipping extra; or from Smells Like Spells for €8, shipping extra. As a handy comparison - average cost per pack of Nepal/Tibet incense sold by Padma Store in Germany is around €4, with average price per five sticks working out at around €1, plus shipping.
