Olfactory Rescue Service

What's all the blinkin' about??

We're pleased to introduce you to the Olfactory Rescue Service, formerly Mike's Prattle. The Olfactory Rescue Service (ORS) exists to review and discuss the world of retail incense in order to help bridge the gap between East and West in terms of understanding incense and helping the reader find higher quality scents, sources for these scents and to connect with others passionate about fine scent. Written in a highly understandable language, Mike helps bring the world of incense to your door, one scent at a time.

While ORS cooperates with all reputable incense companies (several of which send samples for review), it currently remains a third party resource and only claims bias in favor of excellent service, fair pricing and the constructive.

Dear Beth,

I want to tell you how much I have been enjoying dealing with your company. Your service is wonderful and the packaging of the incense is done with great care - no damage at all! I have been sampling a lot of your products in the last few months - thanks to Mike's recommendations from "Mike's Prattle." I am so glad to see that you are now carrying the Shroff line which is - in my opinion - the best of the Indian agarbattis. You have a terrific selection of Japanese incense. Also your shipping charges are very fair; some of your competitors will send by UPS which will charge a forty dollar fee - and this is not for the shipping just a "customs and handling" fee. I will continue to do business with you and hope that you manage to bring in even more of your high quality products.

Sincerely,

Rob M.
Calgary, Alberta, Canada
