Darshan Sandal Incense Cones

Large perfume dipped cones. Volatile aroma notes on the cones, slightly muddled musty/musky notes on burning. Not a clean, fragrant sandalwood.  Bought for 80p from Incense Essentials, so an attractive price - shame the cones are not as attractive! Fair do though, the aroma is not ugly, just not top quality. The cones do produce a lot of fragrant and reasonably pleasant smoke - but there is just too much of a stale, synthetic perfume feel about the aroma to make it a fully enjoyable experience. Useful for clearing up nasty smells in the toilet, or stale fish in the kitchen.

The cones are made by Darshan International of Bangalore who claim they have been in existence for five decades, while being founded in both 1987 and 2000.
