Review on Gardenia HEM Incense - Box of Six 20g Tubes by Jaime Pulley

I usually enjoy HEM incense sticks without any problems, but this item really let me down. It doesn't smell like gardenia. What I felt as I lit it was the remains of a pot handle burning on the stove! The smoky smell was overpowering and even gave me a terrible headache. I had to burn 2 sticks of my HEM Amber incense sticks to get rid of the soot smell from my kitchen! As I said, I love the HEM brand and have never had a problem with any of the other fragrances, but this one was a total fail. Unfortunately I bought a box of 6 tubes. I won't throw it away but I will burn it outside on the porch where the smell will dissipate and it might act as a mosquito repellent.
