Incense Sticks
They come in elongated shapes, as cones, as discs, as spirals.... the incense stick.
There are matching "boats" for them, figures in the shape of little men, animals, buildings. Previously used mostly during the Christmas season, but I use them whenever I feel like it.
Mandarine Orientale is also a candidate that I would "use" whenever I feel like it.
At the beginning, you smell juicy, slightly sweet mandarin, sandalwood, and budding jasmine. A fine jasmine that stays in the background and lets the mandarin take the lead, as its appearance is only brief. It quickly transforms into a - normally the other way around - green mandarin, whose peel you rub and dry. Bitter, slightly citrusy, it lingers. Patchouli in an earthy, but dry earthy scent, spicy, cold, mixes with musk and cedarwood. It becomes a bit more bitter. Soon the smoke comes, which rises after the ember of the incense stick has extinguished. A blend of warm smoke, slight spiciness, a bit sweet, smoky, slightly green-woody, and suddenly wrapped in a vanilla pod. Not sweet vanilla, but a vanilla aroma, freshly scraped from a vanilla pod. Unfortunately, no violet, but in this combination, it would be hopelessly lost. The poor little, modest, and delicate violet.
Mandarine Orientale is an earthy oriental, not sweet and heavy, but smoky, bitter with a touch of the Orient, confirmed by vanilla and musk.
A truly wearable incense stick.
Thank you very much for letting me get my hands on this little treasure!
