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

Stamford Satin (discontinued)




It's an amusing gimmick. Incense cones packed into little containers designed to look like paint cans. The series is called Satin, and the three fragrances are given paint names: Oriental Red, Sunflower Yellow, and Mandarin Orange. I paid £10 for a big box of these: 12 cans each containing 30 cones - that's 360 cones, working out at less than 3p per cone. And each can contains a cute coloured ceramic cone holder. Brilliant! Except that the perfume on the cones is very faint, and the aroma is mainly of the core organic material. Not good. While at times the cone aroma is simply bland, other times it is acrid and unpleasant. It's fairly random as to what the result will be, and makes no difference which colour/aroma is chosen. It's possible I'll simply end up just throwing the lot away. Made in India for Aargee's Stamford brand.
