Bonfire Rose

No fire and no rose here. It's a sweet and very resinous incense. The vanilla plus neroli and the various resins don't blend seamlessly. Instead I feel a vibration between warm/sweet and cool/medicinal. But they do balance each other pretty well. Neither is completely overwhelming. I do find that balance tips a little toward the medicinal for my taste, but I am pretty sensitive to medicinal. It's quite a good vanilla, btw. I often recoil from synthetic-smelling vanilla, even when it is in fact all-natural. And I really don't tolerate edible vanilla. But this vanilla is easy to like. Maybe because it's pulling me back from a medicinal precipice. Worth a smell for incense and/or resin lovers. Neroli-lovers might find the neroli a bit elusive. Rose- and bonfire- lovers will probably be disappointed. I'm all of the above, so I like it.
