Tulasi Coconut incense sticks are made by Sarathi International Inc of Bangalore. They are factory made using modern equipment and production methods, which likely means synthetic perfumes are used. The sticks look like they have been machine dipped. The incense looks like charcoal - it is smooth and black, and has an even appearance, with some of the incense smeared down the end of the chunky bamboo stick, which has been dyed red. Purchased for 85p for a hex pack of 20 sticks from the online store, the Asian Cookshop.
The aroma is woody with base notes of sandalwood and vanilla, some sweetness in the middle based on essence of coconut, and faint flowery top notes with hints of burnt plastic. The main impact is wood smoke. The smoke is a little too much like bushwood burning, and the overwhelming aroma is of burning wood.
The aroma is fairly clean and inoffensive. There is an artificial quality to the aroma which is a little off-putting, but nothing significant. There is a lack of genuine joy in the experience - while the sticks are not exactly foul, the room can smell of burning rather than incense, and the lingering aroma is faint, but again, one of burnt wood rather than anything exotic and pleasant.
