Perfumed incense is the most popular incense in India, and is what most Indians burn everyday at home or in the temples. Aasha Aromatics are an independent incense maker in Ahmedabad, the former capital of the ancient Indian state of Gujarat which has a history stretching back to the Indus Valley Civilisation, one of the original three cradles of civilisation. The company was founded forty years ago, and is owned and run by Vikram. They put together interesting flavour combinations, including this bold and lively Cannabis Orange.
Straight from the packet the sweet and tangy perfume is bold, lively, fruity and uplifting. Great for first thing in the morning to wake up the house. While it is the orange that is most noticeable on the stick, it is the cannabis that comes to the fore when burning. Cannabis is not that unusual an incense scent, others I have burned include the lower everyday/toiler cleaner scents Tulasi Cannabis (score 20), Emporium Dream Catcher Cannabis (score 20), and the rather more pleasant decent everyday scent Tree of Life Cannabis (score 33). Cannabis has been seen as a trendy scent for the summer of 2018 when it was used as a men's fragrance ingredient. There is something intoxicatingly woody and herbal about the middle notes in this scent, which balances between the tangy fruit of the orange, and the secure base of sandalwood. It's a well constructed, intriguing, and very pleasant scent - fairly manly, I think, and quite sexy.
I imported this myself from India, and it's available in my eBay shop: IncenseInTheWind.
