Incense In The Wind

Radiating Incense In The Wind - a painting by Hai Linh Le

GR International Rose



Pack of ten rose incense cones from GR International of Bangalore, bought from a hippy shop in Faversham for £1.25. The cones are dark brown, almost black, with a sticky sheen, like cannabis resin. They are fairly tall, and produce plenty of smoke. The aroma is pleasantly floral and lemony citric at first, then some coconut notes comes through, and near the end the core combustible material starts to make itself felt, so the aroma is of burning twigs. The floral aromas don't have a natural feel to them, and the citric notes are like washing up liquid. It's not an unpleasant experience, but this is clearly not top quality. 

This incense is nothing special, but is not offensive, and if simply wishing to quickly refresh a room, these are fine to brighten things up.
