Krishan Drakkar Noir

Drakkar Noir is a successful male perfume from the 1980s, which is still available on the internet. The stick is hand-rolled with a charcoal based paste. The aroma is bergamont and pine with wood and citric notes - though it is very mild. However, the overall impression is of a warm, pleasant and sensual aroma.

Score: 30

Krishnan Chandan

Black paste machine dipped on undyed sticks. The aroma is mild, but very attractive. Some mildly medicinal qualities, some clove, some bergamont, some burning wood, and sandalwood underscored with menthol and camphor wood. The scent, though weak, is quite warm and pleasant, and is becoming one of my favourite sandalwood incenses.

Score: 30

Krishan Peach

Black, hand-rolled. Thin. There is a base note of burning wood and damp leaves, spiced - in a slightly mangled, clashing manner - with a chemical peach scent, which wavers into grass and burning herbs and sometimes cannabis. It's not great, but it's not unpleasant.

Score: 22

Krishan Dark Chocolate

Evenly hand rolled powdery charcoal paste on sturdy undyed sticks. Occasionally bergamont and/or pine notes can be detected, but I don't pick up any chocolate.  The aroma when burning is so light as to be unnoticeable - something that is common to all Krishan products I've tried so far.
