Review on ๐ŸŒฒ Paine's Balsam Fir Incense Refill - 70 Sticks, 2 Inches in Length by James Kapihe

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm not sure why I thought it smelled better than it actually does.

I have no doubt that these are pure natural balsamic pine needles dried and pressed. They are shapely, perfectly dry and carefully packed. It was Christmas time, I saw a news report that Paine's in Maine makes fir and cedar products, and I pictured myself sitting by a Christmas tree next to a roaring fireplace, sweet balm swirling around my head. And I know that real balsam fir doesn't smell like overly sweet air fresheners that vaguely mimic nature. sincerely. If you take a dry spruce branch and light it, it will smell exactly the same incense. While I was looking forward to the sweet lemon balm, I didn't think about the scent of gently rustling leaves - in my living room. It's not overwhelming and I took my time opening doors or windows and there was no lingering smell of smoke. If you have reasonable expectations, you might like it. Just don't get romantic like me.
