In the interest of transparency: as readers may recall, I
|
||||||
|
[paid Dave a visit](/blog/visiting-chicago-incense-maker-dave-of-the-world-makes-scents/)
|
||||||
|
at the company's workshop in 2024. Since then, I've been back several times and
|
||||||
|
we remain friends, trading ingredients, incense, and knowledge. I also received
|
||||||
|
this incense for free. Despite this, as always, I will do my best to be
|
||||||
|
objective.

## Hippy Hug Sticks
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First of all I'd like to point out that TWMS has updated their packaging. It's
|
||||||
|
vibrant, colorful, and fun. The illustration on the *Hippy Hug* packaging is,
|
||||||
|
however, clearly AI generated, which [I have some feelings about](ai/), but the
|
||||||
|
overall effect is playful and creative, which I find refreshing.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The 12 thick sticks are wrapped in colorful paper inside TWMS' trademark
|
||||||
|
jewelry box—an improvement on the synthetic batting material which would
|
||||||
|
sometimes cling to the sticks. I'm struck right away, as I was with each
|
||||||
|
variety in today's selection, by the strength of fragrance from the unlit
|
||||||
|
incense. With *Hippy Hug*, I get a lovely hit of clove and patchouli. The sticks
|
||||||
|
are about 4mm in diameter, and dark brown, with a rather coarse texture.
|
||||||
|
They're also solid, with little give and no crumbling or breakage in the
|
||||||
|
package.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
On lighting smoky, patchouli, and sweet vanillic notes emerge. Clove follows as
|
||||||
|
the initial burst of smoke recedes into a surprisingly gentle stream from the
|
||||||
|
large stick. If you're familiar with sweet patchoui fragrances, such as
|
||||||
|
*Patchouli* from Shoyeido's *Overtones* collection, *Hippy* *Hug* doesn't quite
|
||||||
|
match this profile. While the sweetness is clear, this stick somehow leans dry,
|
||||||
|
leaving room for the clove to mingle with what I assume is a wood binder
|
||||||
|
(binders no longer appear to be listed on the ingredients) to make a
|
||||||
|
spicy/smoky effect.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The patchouli seems to have been used judiciously: just enough to make the
|
||||||
|
composition work. There is undoubtedly a 'campfire' aspect to this stick,
|
||||||
|
but it comes across as more woodsmoke than that riproaring, herbaceous
|
||||||
|
burning-vegetation note that you get when you overdose anything leafy. In
|
||||||
|
addition to patchouli, sandalwood, benzoin, and clove, the ingredients also
|
||||||
|
note the inclusion of frankincense. When I look for it, I think I may be able
|
||||||
|
to identify something of a resin-note in the fragrance, but it's certainly not
|
||||||
|
jumping out at me. The sandalwood is also a background player here.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I'd really been looking forward to trying this latest take on patchouli from
|
||||||
|
TWMS since I learned that the team was revising and upgrading some of their old
|
||||||
|
single-note formulas. I wasn't disappointed. As perhaps reflected by the name
|
||||||
|
change, while still a patchouli fragrance, the new iteration has evolved from a
|
||||||
|
single-note stick into an honest-to-god composition, and I'm here for it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Lavender Française
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The fragrance of the unlit cones is lovely; a juicy lavender note with a hint
|
||||||
|
of Australian sandalwood. This is a markedly less complex fragrance than *Hippy
|
||||||
|
Hug,* but what it lacks in complexity is makes up for in clarity. It's
|
||||||
|
impressively lavender-forward while somehow avoiding much of the harshness that can
|
||||||
|
come from lavender flowers. A pleasant benzoin sweetness underscores the floral
|
||||||
|
note. I don't notice much of a sandalwood fragrance in the burn.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Like any wood-based cone, you won't want to sit right next to this incense, but
|
||||||
|
then again you don't need to. Even in my large office, with relatively little
|
||||||
|
airflow, the fragrance traverses the distance from the incense table to the
|
||||||
|
computer desk with little trouble. Giving this cone some room to breathe nets a
|
||||||
|
relatively clean, room-filling fragrance. There does seem to be a wood binder
|
||||||
|
note that somewhat muddies the waters, but it's not terribly obtrusive.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The fragrance naturally becomes a little rough around the edges as the diameter
|
||||||
|
increases near the base of the cone, and the formerly modest smoke production
|
||||||
|
ramps up quite seriously. That said, the formula seems to handle the change in
|
||||||
|
diameter well. As the ember travels down the cone, the lavender begins to
|
||||||
|
exchange its juicy, fruity character for a more herbal, camphoraceous scent.
|
||||||
|
The fragrance also becomes more smoky, as is to be expected. In contrast to
|
||||||
|
some of the cheap wood-and-synthetic-fragrance based cones I've tried, the
|
||||||
|
effect here is more that of an evolving fragrance than a devolving one. I think
|
||||||
|
I'd still prefer a stick, but I'd be lying if I said that I didn't enjoy this
|
||||||
|
experience.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## White Sage Mage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The fragrance of the unlit cones is a pleasant sage note. I don't get any
|
||||||
|
sandalwood this time for whatever reason. The fragrance immediately after
|
||||||
|
lighting is sage forward, herbaceous, and a touch smoky, although significantly
|
||||||
|
less so than burning a sage bundle. I never could understand why people insist
|
||||||
|
on burning sage bundles for fragrance. The result of such a large amount of
|
||||||
|
herbs burning at once is, for me, overwhelmingly rough and unpleasant. I much
|
||||||
|
prefer this format: carefully processed sage included in a combustible incense
|
||||||
|
as part of a well considered formula. It's cleaner, and as sage happens to be a
|
||||||
|
very potent herb, it still offers more than enough of a sage fragrance. In
|
||||||
|
fact, like *Lavender Française*, the star botanical almost entirely comprises
|
||||||
|
the fragrance here.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The inclusion of a little lavender in these cones is a nice addition—the floral
|
||||||
|
note lifts the fragrance from poultry-seasoning territory (always a risk with
|
||||||
|
sage). The ingredients also note the inclusion of frankincense, but I couldn't
|
||||||
|
pick it out; I suspect it may have been included to regulate the burn
|
||||||
|
temperature somewhat. Again, the fragrance has no trouble filling the room.
|
||||||
|
This cone is also subject to the pitfalls of the format, but it handles them
|
||||||
|
fairly well.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Conclusion
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After experiencing this selection, I remain impressed at the quality of
|
||||||
|
fragrance that The World Makes Scents is able to produce with carefully
|
||||||
|
processed whole botanicals. As one of the very few incense brands on the market
|
||||||
|
that you can be sure uses no synthetics or concentrates, it remains my go-to
|
||||||
|
recommendation for people seeking an entirely natural combustible incense in
|
||||||
|
the U.S.A.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
While the brand's cones are, in my opinion, some of the better examples of the
|
||||||
|
format, I still do recommend that people nab a
|
||||||
|
[censer](https://shoyeido.com/products/incense-holder-bowl), some
|
||||||
|
[ash](https://shoyeido.com/products/accessory-miyakohai-ash), and buy sticks
|
||||||
|
where possible.[^1]
|
||||||

||||||
|

||||||
|

|
||||||
|
were out of stock on the [website](https://theworldmakesscents.com/), and I am

|
||||||
|
My [last attempt](/blog/incense-recipe-an-attempt-at-a-sweet-agarwood-incense-stick/#fn2) at a sweet agarwood stick was okay but, as I noted, there was room for improvement. My goals with the original build were to create a decent amount of agarwood fragrance, while mitigating the harsh note that comes with cheaper wood. Following my notes from the old build, my new objectives are to increase the amount of agarwood fragrance, reduce sweetness, and add complexity.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### The Build
|
||||||
|
|Ingredient |Grams|% of Build|
|
||||||
|
|------------------------|-----|----------|
|
||||||
|
|Agarwood |3 |24.90% |
|
||||||
|
|Benzoin Siam |0.4 |3.32% |
|
||||||
|
|Borneol Camphor |0.7 |5.81% |
|
||||||
|
|Cassia |1.0 |8.30% |
|
||||||
|
|Clove |1.2 |9.96% |
|
||||||
|
|Guar Gum |0.35 |2.90% |
|
||||||
|
|Musk Root |0.4 |3.32% |
|
||||||
|
|Santalum album |4.0 |33.20% |
|
||||||
|
|Santalum spicatum |1.0 |8.30% |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First of all, I included S. album *and* S. spicatum this time. I was curious to try Indian sandalwood in this version, but I also wanted to use at least a little of my superfine Australian sandalwood powder because of how it helps to make a smooth, easily extruded dough.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Results
|
||||||
|
Rather than extruding sticks right away, I decided to burn the powder as an incense-seal to trial it. Once again, the incense is very sweet. Adding a heaping helping of S. album surely didn't help this, but I think it may be time to consider forgoing the benzoin altogether. I'm not sure I like musk root with benzoin either.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The spices are there but, as everything is muddied by the excessive sweetness, it's hard to form an opinion on the spice levels. That said, this attempt is definitely missing something. I think I may include anise in a future iteration.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I like the level of camphor; the coolness is close to something like Yamadamatsu's *Suifu*, although I will have to wait and see how I like it without the benzoin. One thing I do miss from *Suifu* is that rich, sort of dried-fruit note. My guess is that this comes from using a better quality agarwood.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I am happier with the quantity of agarwood this time. There is still a harshness to the agarwood fragrance when the incense is burning nearby, but with a little distance everything mellows out significantly. The agarwood is pretty distinctly sour, which I'm not the biggest fan of, but I don't think there's much I can do about that as it seems to be a characteristic of the wood I'm using. So although I'm not a great fan of this particular wood in combustible incense, it's showing up and doing what it's supposed to, and I'm just going to have to be content with that.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Bonus: take the incense ingredient quiz!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After building [the quiz feature](/quizzes/) something like a year ago, I have finally gotten around to making another quiz! This time, it's a test of your whole-botanical incense ingredient knowledge. So if you think you know your lavender from your labdanum, why not test your mettle and [give it a shot](/quizzes/incense-ingredient-quiz/)?
