Darshan Arruda

Arruda is the plant or herb rue, which has several different uses around the word - varying from an ornamental plant, to an ingredient in cough medicine. The sticks are handrolled from a charcoal base, and then perfume dipped. The sticks from the box have a piercing aroma - quite sharp with a candy sweetness and flowery top notes. They burn with a modest smoke which is fairly pleasant and herby, with some perfumery rose notes. The aroma is fairly dry, and doesn't take you anywhere.

This is acceptable everyday cheap perfume dipped incense. There is a chemical feel about the whole thing, but they are not offensive.
