Aroma Depot 7'' Tropical Vibes Variety Set – Hand-Dipped Charcoal Incense for Home Fragrance

This is excellent incense. They smell amazing right out of the pouches, and when they burn, they smell wonderful too. I picked out the "Designer Variety" which are supposed to smell like popular colognes, but I don't have the brands to compare them to. Still, they certainly do smell like the Men's cologne section. The exception would be the Obsession, which reminds me of walking into a high-end candle shop. (That's a good thing.) Also, the Desire is nice %26 citrusy, and the Cool Water is a ringer for Lectric Shave (also a good thing). Burning, of course, produces different scents. The Obama and Obsession are like a subdued Nag Champa, with the Cool Water definitely putting out that temple incense aroma. The Desire smells the most like a cologne when burned, while the BLM reminds me of this nice sachet scent my Aunt Nell used to wear. None of the scents were cloying to our sensitive noses. At 7", these are short for incense sticks, but they burn longer than longer cheapo sticks. I don't have a scale, but compared to a microwave rice pouch (8.8 oz), 2 of these 4.5 oz pouches felt noticeably heavier. Also, they arrived completely intact, wrapped 1st in a poly bubble mailer and then a plain poly bag. Overall, we are very pleased with this stuff. Next we are going to try out the Floral Scents. (Gonna be a while: 500 sticks!)
