Asoka Love in Life Incense Sticks Lavender

Part of a pack of six different boxes each containing eight sticks, bought cheaply from a gift shop. The boxes do not give any information of the maker, though the inside wrapper says Asoka Trading Co. One of the boxes says Made in China, though Asoka are based in Bangalore. One of the boxes is trade marked as Shashi Industries. The sticks are all made the same - very neatly rolled charcoal and sandalwood paste onto pink dyed bamboo sticks, and then dipped in perfume. These are your standard everyday budget sticks in which there is little sense of the named scent, and what you mainly get is the aroma of the burning base material.

There is a very mild dried lavender scent, but mainly it's burning wood. Slightly herby, and slightly acrid. Not great, but not offensive either. Though cheap, this is not good value.
