Puspa's Green Champa

Gift from Corey Topel of Absolute Bliss Incense in America. This is a shiny foil packet of dirt cheap perfume-dipped charcoal incense. The packet is deliciously evocative - full of Indian promise. My packet is somewhat faded, but even so it still looks lovely. The sticks do not look or smell promising when you get them out of the packet, but on burning they have a very pleasing musky aroma.  Gently candy sweet with notes of vanilla. This is not an offensive incense at all, and I can see why it is popular in America. It's cheap, it has an alluring packet, and the scent is warm, familiar, easy, and candy sweet and musky. You're not going to do aromatherapy with this, nor meditation or worship - but as an everyday incense this works just fine. I like it.
