Perfumed incense is the most popular incense in India, and is what most people 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 sweet and pleasant Vanilla Orange.
There's a pleasant sweet fruity tang straight from the packet underpinned by pine and some acidic solvent. The perfume is fragile, so when first lit the flame evaporates the scent and what you get is mostly smoke. After allowing the stick to settle to its own burning heat, the scent emerges. Gently at first, then a little more assertive. There is more awareness of vanilla as it burns. Straight from the stick the scent is mostly the high acidic notes, but when being burned the vanilla is allowed to display itself. This is a pleasant, sweet, perfumed incense. Ideal for everyday use.
I imported this from India, and it's available in my eBay shop: IncenseInTheWind.
