Aphrodesia or Aphrodisia is a common name for incense. These charcoal based hand-rolled and dyed pink incense sticks by Sarathi International Inc of Bangalore have sandalwood and musk notes. The aroma is warm and woody and reasonably pleasant. There are mild soapy and citric notes to lift it slightly, but on the whole it is a moderately pleasant, background scent rather than something that catches the attention or provides any real delight or pleasure.
The square pack of eight sticks cost only 49p from the excellent online store, the Asian Cookshop. Buying a small amount for a low cost is a useful way of sampling a product to find out how agreeable it is. While I will keep an open mind regarding Tulasi branded incense, my preference is for the more interesting and better quality hand rolled incense that is available. Meanwhile, I will look out for another company's version of Aphrodesia to see how the scent compares.
