Review (1/5): Questionable Quality!
Buyer beware !!! I cannot say if this is Benzoin of Sumatra for sure but it doesn't smell like others i bought from other vendors (not on Amazon). This smells like vanilla with a hint of roach spray; didn't have any of the complex clove-like smells that I'm familiar with in Benzoin of Sumatra. It took a while to get the return approved because its flammable, Amazon wouldnt permit but the vendor did. But I would have to cover return shipping, so tried it out despite my suspensions looking at it.
The vendor responds to emails quickly and said there lots of types of this specific incense and says their product is "high quality." It doesn't smell high quality. It doesnt last and fades eventually, luckily. Also it didn't burn like high quality varieties because it left a marshmallow residue on the charcoal. In this product, the interior is chalky white but hard, carries the chalky vanilla smell and is a very different texture than the outer layer made of dark brown crystals, which smells like burnt bits when used without the white interior. The different textures were distinctive, on an outer layer and inner layer and didn't look natural.
It was a large order and very cheap, but you get what you pay for I suppose.
