R. Expo The Great Indian Caravan Om Shanti Nag Champa Incense Cones

 



The Great Indian Caravan are all over the place at the moment. They are a brand name set up around 2017 by R. Expos / Song Of India, with the apparent intention of selling to the Western market. The colourful  "Indian hippy trail" packaging is designed to appeal to Westerners rather than the domestic Indian market.

The brand is more about the imagery than the product, as this is a poor quality perfumed incense. I'm not anti-perfumed incense, but I am anti-poor quality. To be fair, the perfume they use, though rather standard toilet cleaner stuff, is not unpleasant, though it's more like "a walk in a pine forest" than it is "Nag Champa", though there is a suggestion of floral notes in there. But, as with a number of poor quality incenses (and at the moment that includes Satya's Earth range), the perfume burns off too quickly, and the main scent becomes the core material of wood dust and binding gum, which is never that great.
