I got my paws on a few
different scents to try, and with it being on a buy 3 get one free
deal I knew I just has to get my moneys worth. So I picked up 8
different scents in 2 different formats: Incense cones and Simmering
Granules.
The package came with
the boxes flat and cones in there own bag. I was actually surprised
when I saw this as I thought they would be in there boxes, but can
completely understand why they were not as the boxes would have been
crushed. Its nice however that they did give you the box with them,
they can easily be wrapped as a nice gift to fragrance lovers then.
My favourite thing about the cones are how they come with a little
metal disk for burning them on. Saves on having to buy your own stand
for them so they don't mark any wood or leave there ash everywhere.
The incense cones are
really fragrant and really do fill up the home with there wisps of
perfumed smoke. Cones and sticks in general are not to everybody's
taste and I always feel they are looked down on compared to the usual
candle or room spray. However I find actually watching them burn is
quite therapeutic as the smoke dances about. The smell lingers in the
home unlike candles which I find vanishes quickly.
One thing im
disappointed about is the Simmering Granules. Perhaps its my burner
but there is just no fragrance from them when they burn. They smell
heavenly when sniffed in there little bag but outside that there is
nothing – quite disappointed as the black cherry smelt so good! All
scents seem to be this way. I don't think I will be re-buying these
kind.
All in all I'm actually
away to make another purchase from them to try out the other smells.

Be sure to check them out. You won't be disappointed :)
DeleteHave you heard of Scentsy? I love cones and burners but with having 3 cats and a dog I worry about having open flames, but a Scentsy is an electronic burner, so you have the little wax pots in the top, but no fire. Mine is a skull! The scents last really well :) My Mum got me mine last year for Christmas and I use it basically everyday

Cones and incense don't actually have an open flame. Once they are lit you can pretty much forget about them as it's just smoke and last for a max of 20mins with the scent lasting days. I prefer that to melting wax as I don't trust my toddler and 2 cats enough to during the day - flame or electronic can still leave a horrible mess x
DeleteThese sound lovely! I've not used anything like this for years as we always have candles on now, i'm such a candle addict! x
