This is a proper job masala incense made for the domestic Indian market, not for export to the West. It is a packet of eight sticks which retail for 12 rupee - which is around 12 pence or 18 cents. The name Panchamukhi means five-sided, and there is a Hindu poem, the Ramayana, in which the hero, Rama, is rescued by Hanuman who adopts his five-headed form (Panchmukhi Hanuman) in order to blow out the five candles that hold the life-force of the enemy holding Rama.
This starts off very pleasant with a sweet vanilla and sandalwood aroma, and promises to develop into something quite heavenly, though never quite takes off - remaining at the same reasonably pleasant level. There are hints of halmaddi, along with a bit of smoke and heat. The aroma doesn't linger heavily - leaving just a subtle hint of the pleasant clean vanilla and sandalwood. It's not a heavy or heavenly masala - something which demands attention, it is simply a pleasant and acceptable everyday incense. An everyday proper job masala.

This incense is not currently available in the UK or US - I was sent it as a sample by Hari Om.
