NPG Incense Sticks from O2 Tour - HELP!

I purchased some incense sticks from the O2 tour tour & want to know where I can get more, or what the smell is?

I can only desbribe the smell as Purple!

They came packaged in Purple Fabric with NPG written on them.
I can upload a photo later.

Anyone got any idea what the smell is?

Cheers

They were 3121 branded not NPG branded, I have a bunch of them. Each different kind was named after a Prince song, ie one was called "Play In The Sunshine", one was called "Life Can Be So Nice", etc.

i presume they are just rebranded incense sticks like the ones he sold a few years ago, so the best thing to do is go to a local store that sells joss sticks and smell them and try them out and find the scent you like. incense sticks are pretty cheap normally, like £1 a packet so it won't cost you much to try a few different ones out

fortunately not. the whiff of the smelly people who stayed in the campervan outside paisley instead of getting a hotel in around 2001 is gone from my memories. i do remember staff walking around with the joss sticks trying to get rid of the stench though, and people clapping when they handed some lit joss sticks to the hippies who then danced around with them like they were at woodstock

a far cry from pissing in a pint glass at the front of the indigo2 in case prince pitched up onstage at the dr john concert

from what i remember the joss sticks at the npg stores were different from the ones sold at paisley, and probably different to the 3121 ones, but i recall the npg store ones had the original manufacturers details on them, they weren't specially made for prince by virgins in tibet or anything like that, they were just regular $1 joss sticks from new age stores that were sold for about five times the price because they had a bit paper or cardboard around then with a prince symbol on it

they had a whole bunch of stuff like that, which had prince stickers stuck on normal stuff and sold at inflated prices. i think that's where apple got some inspiration, form a cult and a logo and make it exclusive by keeping things expensive so normal punters wouldn't wan't to waste money buying it

These are the 3121 ones, well some of them. There were maybe 5 different kinds and I got 4 of them.

The one at the bottom is "Here On Earth", then "Life Can Be So Nice", then "Gamillah", then I think the top one is "Play In The Sunshine" which I unfortunately lost the label tag of.
