Attractively packed in a six sided box, these are very pleasant hand-rolled and perfume dipped sticks from Mahendra Perfumery Works of Bangalore, who also make the Belco range of sticks. Available from 99p to 1.26p online, they are cheaply made, with the sticks varying in thickness, and the charcoal paste poorly rolled, but the perfume is very attractive. The promotional blurb is:
"Bhajan incense sticks were inspired by the bhakti (devotion) of the 16th Century Indian poetess Mirabai, who wrote thousands of poems and songs in praise of the "naughty boy" Krishna. (Bhajan means a song or musical composition for prayer or worship). Bhajan incense is very popular with the Krishna devotees of Bengal and Orissa, and is carried to Shree Brindavan Dham, (Krishna’s village of 5000 little temples) throughout the year, but especially in the Autumn, in the Kartik month. The fragrance is a powerful, fresh green woody aroma with lavender overtone."
I find the fragrance to be floral, with a gently heady scent of jasmine heightened with a hint of roses, and supported by a base of sandalwood. It creates an exotic yet soothing atmosphere, softly romantic, and mildly erotic. It's a very welcoming scent, and can be used for when quests arrive.
