Not long ago I posted my first review of 'The Scenter' and wrote near the end I was going to purchase more. Well today I am updating you with the new purchases.
Throwing caution to the wind I
decided to pick up some incense cones with names as opposed to named
after what they smell like. The only issue with ordering from 'the
scenter' is the lack of scent descriptions. It is a complete stab in
the dark with the scents and unfortunately this gamble to an extent,
to my personal tastes, did not pay off.
The scents I picked up from Stamford
were: Unicorn's Grace, Vampire's Kiss, Moon Angel and Fairy's Mist.
Each box held 12 cones.
Its really hard to find online any
descriptions of the actual scents and you may know due to my Yankee
Candle haul I'm just terrible for describing them. My favourite
scents from these four would be Moon Angel and Fairy's mist. I would
describe these more on the sweeter feminine side. Softy scented and
not over powering, but with a lovely lingering smell which seems to
develop over time. Vampire's Kiss is quite perfumed with a slight
feminine edge. Unicorns Grace however is very strongly scented and
reminds me, being completely honest, as toilet cleaner (though my
partner described it much worse); not something I want wafting
through my living room.
Trying out another brand, this time
GR, I picked up some more cones. The scents I went with were Rose,
Night Queen and Royal Vanilla with each box holding 10 cones.
I'm not a huge fan of these scents.
Royal Vanilla did not come across very 'vanilla' but on the upside
Rose is plessent. These did not smell as strong and the scent didn't
linger the like Stamford's incense cones.
At £1.44 for a box (buy two buy one
free) they are not as great value for money as the previously
mentioned if you are to compare them side by side. However with the
deal it does work out cheaper but I would go with Stanford's.
My last item to pick up were a
mixed scent of mini incense sticks. Each stick is a dinky 10cm which
makes it a perfect little scent pick me up. I chose the 'mixed'
option and landed up with the scents Nag Champa, Musk,
Patchouli and Cinnamon.
Unfortunately there is no brand labelling on these
as they came in small plastic bags. Each scent is individuality
wrapped in a set of 8. I took a complete gamble on the scents but
landed up with some pleasing options. Cinnamon is perfect for those
wintry scents and Nig Champa is a classic which I have never
purchased before so it was great to try it. Musk to me is not to my
taste but my partner doesn't mind it as its more of a 'man' scent.
This mixed set cost me £1.59, and
with 32 incense this is incredible value. There is so many smells to
choose from which is fantastic and I can see myself picking up more
of these.

ReplyDeleteI like filling my home with the scent of baking - fresh bread, cinnamon, warming spices :)
ReplyDeleteI am probably the only person that absolutely hates incense sticks, if a shop is wafting them about, I leave, even if it is a scent I like, I just find them too much x
