Satya/Stamford (2014) Laxmi's Lotus

This is the last of the Satya/Stamford collaboration produced in 2014 that I have. All the scents have been somewhat acceptable, with Knowledge being the one I liked the most, though none have impressed, and it has become increasingly clear as I worked through them that they have been made on a low budget. They are also, to be fair, around five years old, and as the fragrance is delivered mostly by perfume-dipping rather than using masala ingredients, perfume-dipped incense tends to degrade over time as the volatiles evaporate.

This is the weakest of the four I've burned. Occasionally there is a sort of Stamford sweet candy perfume, but than that drifts away and I'm left with something vaguely sandalwood. There may be some sense of lotus about this, but it is really weak and fleeting.

Hmmmm. I'm getting into this. It's not anything special, but it does an OK job once it gets going. Laxmi is a Hindu goddess of  wealth and good fortune who is typically depicted with a lotus in her hand.  The lotus has religious significance in India.
