Warm, woody and spicy. This is on a par with some of the Sifcon budget incense. These are cheap, crude sticks coated in what appears to be a masala with essential oils. The scent on the stick is actually off-putting - somewhat damp, sharp and mouldy; but when burning there is an attractive scent that informs the room with a warm and gentle sensuality. Forget the "Nag Champa" name, these are decent everyday sticks if you want to spice up a room with a warm, woody scent. These are OK.

The first couple of these that I burned I wasn't impressed. There was a sort of crude earthy quality such as I find with Tibetan and Vietnamese incense where no essential oils are used, and the ingredients are perhaps a little too rustic and crude. If anything it smelled old, stale, and sort of damp. But burning another one, I am changing my mind. No, it's not a quality incense, but it's not as crude and dismissive as I originally thought. There is a woody and spicy warmth to this that is quite pleasant. The Nag Champa name appears to be purely for marketing, as I'm not getting an aroma that resembles nag champa.
