Satya/Stamford (2014) Knowledge

I have four packs of Satya incense made for Aargee in 2014 under an agreement made in 2011. The scents were developed in collaboration, and are exclusive to Aargee, being sold in association with the Stamford brand. It was in 2014 that the brothers split up, so this may be one of the last batches made by the original company.

It is a sweet and heady incense, the sort that Aargee's Stamford brand tends to focus on. Highly perfumed yet with a candy sweetness. There are flowery notes, slightly herbal, like lavender and a hint of Parma Violets.  It's not a subtle or refined scent. It's a little crude and blunt, and can smother the senses if the smoke drifts in your direction, but it does give a cool scented feel to a room, like a dusting of baby talc, so is an incense that is best burned in advance to create a sense of calm. Burn in a room before using to have a difficult discussion that could become tense.
