Hari Om Divine Incense Gulab



A hugely floral bouquet of heady rose perfume. Quite dreamy and old-fashioned. There's an awareness of chemicals in the construction, but that seems quite acceptable as that is so common in these old fashioned perfume-dipped rose perfumes. They are all generally quite strong and heady, and are quite likely to divide opinion. If I'm in the mood, I quite like them, and this one is jolly good, retaining its fresh impact nearly a year after being opened.

A fairly floral and attractive everyday perfume-dipped rose incense. Gulab means rose, and this has the essence of roses scent that the older generation like. It is a little old fashioned and stuffy, but not offensive. I'm not hugely attracted to floral scents, rose in particular, but this works well enough. There's nothing off or offensive about it - indeed, it seems a clean scent. It is, though, a little too neutral, bringing no divine joy, and not creating any sort of mood. It perfumes the air though, and does it well.

It put me in mind of Swarna Gulab by Moksh, so I burned a stick of each and invited my family to compare them. They found them very similar, with the Moksh being the more subtle and interesting, and the Hari Om being the more direct. It's each to their own, and opinions will vary, but I also found them very similar.

    1. Some very attractive backflow holders there.

      I love the idea of backflow - the smoke looks so attractive flowing down the waterfalls of a burner - but the downside is the tar that is created. It stains any nearby furniture, and leaves a nasty and unhealthy smell.
