Decent quality Satya incense, but not quite heavenly. Good stuff that lingers pleasantly for hours afterwards, and gives off a traditional masala incense scent. Anyone who likes traditional old skool masala will like this, it follows a steady course and does what it's supposed to do, giving off a warm woolly scent that gently informs a room in a neutral to sombre manner. It's not an evocative or attention seeking scent, but rather one that gets on with it in a manner that, as my nan used to say, wouldn't offend anyone.
The date on the logo is 2016, and the logo is the old style that was used before 2017, while the address is (BNG), which was introduced in 2014. This is Balkrishna Setty's incense made in the original factory to the original recipe, and would have been made sometime in 2016/2017, so is around two to three years old as I write this. A lot of the incense powder has collected at the bottom of the inner bag which suggests that it has dried out a little, but there is still plenty left on the stick. The design on the box is the same as Satya Reiki, and it appears likely they were made at the same, but where I was blown away by the Reiki, here I am just quietly satisfied. Sure this is a good incense worth buying, and offers excellent value for money (Satya incenses are never expensive - you can generally get them for a £1 per 15g box, or cheaper if buying in bulk online, if someone is asking for a lot more than that, then walk away, and find a cheaper source), but it's sending me to the heights of pleasure - either that is down to the individual fragrance ingredients, or the fact that this box is likely to be over a year older than the Reiki when I reviewed it.
Namaste is an Asian greeting where the hands are brought together as though in prayer - Aargee have also used it as an incense name: Aagree Namaste. Anyway. Nice job. Happy to buy again.
