Vaishnodevi Gugal Dhoop




Made by Goel Dhoop & Agarbatti of New Delhi. Like the Chandan Dhoop, this is a smokey acrid incense which can be quite challenging. It is slightly more fragrant than the Chandan, but not by much. I don't really like these wet dhoops. Gugal is the resin from commiphora wightii, a plant in the torchwood family which includes frankincense and myrrh; it is burned directly on charcoal in India, and used to chase away evil spirits. Yeah. That's about all you can do with it. Chase things away.
