Guava Guava Incense Sticks

I love this. It’s a novelty, but not a gimmick. Really fresh, tangy, fizzy and original. Described on the box as uplifting and happy, and it really is. While the unburnt stick smells of pure tropical fruit, the creamy vanilla base comes through when it’s burning so it starts to smell more like a freshly baked tropical fruit cheesecake. Oh God it’s yummy. I’ve had fruity incense-sticks before which burn with only a faint hint of fruit, but this one nails it. Despite the obvious food smell, there’s something about it which reminds me of the top note in a citrusy frankincense, and it wouldn’t be at all out of place in a meditation space. It’s not overpowering at all – it doesn’t assert itself too strongly and never overstays its welcome.
