Incense In The Wind

SAC (Sandesh) Champa



An everyday scented charcoal incense stick. This is pleasantly floral and with some juicy citric notes, though it is also a little crude and simplistic, and can be a bit harsh and hot. It is a fairly familiar perfume-dipped incense, but I quite like it. It's a decent scent, quite strong, and not offensive. There may be the merest hint of rubber in the scent, but it's OK. It's a lively morning incense that can brighten and waken a room. It is moderately uplifting, but is too simple and direct to have any deep emotional or mood altering significances.

The Champa name appears to refer to plumeria or frangipani, a fragrant flowering shrub, rather than the champaca of Nag Champa, which is a plant in the magnolia family.

Champa (or frangipani)
Not an incense I would use for special days or for when friends or guests come round, but is one I will use to freshen the house in the morning.
