The similarity of packaging between SAC and GR International is remarkable - the boxes are the same, the stands are the same, the wording is word for word the same, just the design is different. It is clear that manufacturers in India watch and copy each other very closely! [Update - I have since discovered that SAC and GR International are the same company]
I like this fragrance. It's not a conventional sandalwood, being rather fruity, so if you're after that woody, warm sensual quality of sandalwood, then this isn't really going to work for you. But if you want something quite tangy, bright and refreshing, almost like tangerine, but underscored by a base sandalwood, then this do it for you. I'm not sure if the intention was to make a fruity sandalwood, or the wrong cones were placed in the box, but the result is quite pleasant. Of course, points lost for not doing what it says on the tin!

This is a perfumed cone rather than a masala or natural dhoop. There are volatile nips and a suggestion of pine bathroom cleaner. It's a little crude and smoky, and there's little awareness of sandalwood. I'm not getting the fruit fragrance I got in 2018, which may be down to me, to the environment, or to a certain inconsistency between batches. Or maybe a combination of factors. Whatever, I'm not getting enough from this to be interested in buying it again. Nor in using it in the house. It's not offensive, just that there's not a lot going on that I find attractive.
