Tree of Life Jasmine (discontinued)

Fourth review - scroll down for earlier reviews


As with the other Tree of Life sticks, this is a perfumed incense presented as a masala style incense. As with the others, it has a pleasing modern perfumed fragrance on the stick, which does not survive the burn.

Pleasant sweet perfumed scent on the stick. The scent wanders a bit, and can smell off, but mostly wanders around a woody scent with faint floral notes that may be jasmine. It's nice as a woody, warm, musky scent. But it's not really jasmine.  

Date: April 2023  Score: 20  


Delicate, light sandalwood and jasmine incense. Pleasant enough, but lacking in impact and character. Perhaps could be used when a very subtle scent is required, but on the whole, not an incense I see myself rushing to buy again.

These sticks have a delicate floral perfume out of the packet. The fragrance when burned starts off with  warm notes of sandalwood base combined with sweet floral high notes. This is a more traditional Indian incense aroma than Tree of Life's Shalimar; however, there's a baby powder quality about the high notes reminiscent of Mystic Incense Baby Powder, which is another Cha Cha Dum Dum brand. The Mystic Incense brand appear to have a stronger fragrance. These Tree of Life sticks are delicate, refined, and at times just a little to subtle. I like them - I just wish the fragrance was stronger.
