Another of the Satya/Stamford co-operations. I note that all of the sticks in the series have a larger proportion of charcoal than is standard for Satya. Satya tens to use a significant proportion of wood in the core mix, which gives a pleasing brown colour, and offers a cooler more fragrant burn. I am assuming that the blend used here is cheaper, and was done as a result of the deal arranged with Aargee, the owners of the Stanford brand.
The scent is fairly perfumed and mainstream. And there is a volatile scent on the sticks which indicates a liquid scent was applied. While there are clearly perfume-dipped sticks which are charcoal blanks dipped in a liquid scent, and there are clearly masala sticks which are composed almost entirely of finely ground dried fragrant ingredients (such as Tibetan/Himalayan sticks), there is a blurry area in between in which the fragrant ingredient of sticks is a combination of dried (masala) ingredients and essential oils and/or liquid scents. This stick appears to lean very close to perfumed, with only a small amount of masala.
It's an OK scent, but there's nothing distinctive about it.
