The Club is a pack of four different perfume-dipped sticks made under licence from K R Vishwanath. The scents are "Cleopatra", "Bouquet", "Lovely", and "Uoodh".
I started with the Cleopatra, which is a pleasant everyday floral scent, quite bright and sharp, with suggestions of rose, always remaining quite clean. It's quite a traditional scent, and done to a decent standard for such perfume-dipped incense.
Bouquet is another floral scent but with the chemical base showing through more obviously, so I liked it a little less.
I have already reviewed Lovely twice, it's a chemical based fruity aroma with a bit of fresh sharpness that can be appealing. It's not hugely attractive, but there is some appeal in the sharp fruitiness of the aroma, and it's an honest everyday perfume-dipped incense. Nothing fancy. Just does a job of freshening a room. I like it a little more than the Bouquet, but less than the Cleopatra.
The Uoodh is a little more interesting. It is a masala incense - there is a charcoal base onto which has been rolled a masala of fragrant ingredients, and has then been dipped in a perfume solvent which is quite sharp and alcoholic on the nose. There is a pleasant woody tone to this, quite sweet, and rather more sandalwood than the agarwood (oud) of the name, but still quite attractive. It stands out as a much better incense than the others - particularly the Lovely and the Bouquet - and I would be quite happy to burn this again.
On the whole this is an OK collection - though the three perfume-dipped are simply everyday incense, they are done to a decent standard, and the scents remain fresh and attractive even though I've had this box for nearly a year now. The Uoodh is very nice, and is really in a class of its own. It doesn't belong in this collection. It's a decent masala incense with a sweet woody scent. Nothing heavenly, but decent stuff all the same.

As of 2018 this incense is not available in the UK or US - I was sent it as a sample by Hari Om.
