Dawn of Time Of Persian Roses

This was a free sample that came with a packet of Dawn of Time Frankincense & Myrrh. Made in Thailand for the UK based Ancient Wisdom distribution company.  As with the Frankincense & Myrrh, this is a good looking stick. It has been so finely hand-rolled, it looks machine dipped. It is fairly smooth and even all the way along the stick. And then it has been coated in powdered fragrance which gives it an attractive musky/sandalwood aroma. Surprisingly, not roses. But then, this is Ancient Wisdom. When burning, the aroma is of woody plant material. It's not unpleasant, but its not particularly attractive either. It's just - well - burning stuff. Eventually some sense of rose perfume does come through, but swamped somewhat by the base woody material. 

This is the premium quality Ancient Wisdom incense. And I won't be exploring it any further. Ancient Wisdom are a company I shall avoid in their many forms. If I see a product code which has an AW in it, I'll run fast in the opposite direction.
