Goloka Blessings Incense Love (Rose)

Blessings Incense is a budget masala series by Goloka, sold in traditional hexagonal boxes. There appear to be twelve scents in the series, with wishful names such as Courage, Prosperity, Courage, Good Health, etc. It is quite common for incenses to be sold with such wishful names in the belief that burning them will bring the desired blessings. There is often a sense with such incense that the scent itself doesn't really matter, so they can be said to fall within the scope of spiritual or ritual incense,

I got this from the IanSnow online shop in a clearance sale. At the moment (Nov 2018) none of the Blessings series appears to be available in the UK, but they are on sale in Australia and the US.

This incense is OK, but it does feel somewhat generic and limited. A fair degree of the scent appears to be carried by essential oils rather than than finely ground fragrant ingredients, so - as such - it's not hugely different from perfumed or scented incense (something that Goloka are getting into as perfumed incense is more popular than masala incense). There's very little sense of rose here  - every now and again there's some floral awareness, but it's brief and vague. What I mainly get is a soft woody tone. It's OK, but nothing special, and it just chugs away in the background like an OK everyday incense.
