Yadalam Vaastu Sandal Thick Dhoop

I like sandalwood, so I'm a sucker for any incense which contains it. And I'm always particularly happy when it is a decent sandalwood. This is proper sandalwood - it is sweet and musky with honey tones. The scent is rather better on the stick than when it is burned as - though the sandalwood is decent quality, there isn't quite enough of it, so some of the other herbal ingredients are allowed to come through. Even with three pieces of dhoop burning simultaneously, there isn't much impact at all even from all the combined burning ingredients. So, we have the potential for a great scent (and - possibly through an inconsistency in the way the ingredients are mixed together - we do, teasingly, sometimes get that great sandalwood scent), but we are let down by there not being enough sandalwood in the mix.
