Yadalam Vaastu Champa Thick Dhoop (out of business)

This is the last of this series of Vaastu dhoops that I have. I have enjoyed the collection - they are modest scents, and in general inclined more to functional or ritual aspects of incense burning rather than aesthetic or fun, but I have enjoyed the natural aspect to them - like most dhoops, be it Indian, Tibetan, or Japanese, the ingredients are all natural - there are no liquid scents added, be it essential oils, or chemical perfumes. When burned all that is smelled is pure natural ingredients. This doesn't mean that because the ingredients are all natural, that all the scents will be enjoyable - some natural ingredients don't smell good when burned; however, there is a degree of quiet satisfaction and enjoyment in knowing that it is all natural.

I previously reviewed this in July 2013.  My impressions now are similar to then. This is a pleasant scent with gentle floral high notes which are similar to frangipani, though could be jasmine as the two scents are very close - hints of citrus and creamy butter.  The scent is modest but very likeable.
