The Incense Hunter

Photos used in reviews are taken by me, sometimes supported by promotional photos. Some illustrative images on general pages may be AI-generated or AI-assisted. The use of text-to-image generative tools aid me to swiftly and attractively create an image to illustrate and identify general topics, such as Frankincense or Oudh.

Mahendra Betco Mogra



Artificial mogra (jasmine) perfume dipped sticks from Mahendra Perfumery Works of Bangalore. These are solidly made basic incense sticks. Handrolled from charcoal on chunky sticks which just have the tips dyed green. There's a lack of style or grace about Mahendra's products, but in general they are decent, workable, low cost everyday incense. This one doesn't quite work for me - it's a little too assertive, and in the wrong way. It asserts its chemical origins, and makes the room smell damp and cheap and slightly off.
