Vijay Blue Drop Premium Incense Sticks

 


Still working my way through my back log of samples. Picking out some of the easy ones. This is a basic perfumed charcoal stick. It is decent quality, well made, with a long lasting burn, and a balanced scent that is entirely of the perfume, and not of the core material. The scent is modern - it is like a fresh clean cologne. Not an expensive cologne, but sharp, fresh, with a mineral edge, like sea spray on the shore in the morning. The sort of basic, everyday cologne you might use to dab your face to cool down. It's not inspiring or transcendental, but is a decently made everyday scent which may appeal to some more than others. It's not my bag, but after burning a couple of these, I'm OK with it, and would be happy to burn more in my house to quickly lift it and give it some modern energy. 


The sticks are made by Vijay Agarbatti Works, founded in 1990 in Ahmedabad, and run by Brijesh K. Patel. They make a range of incense, both fragranced  (perfumed) and natural (masala). They don't appear at the moment to have much of presence outside of India, which is presumably why they are sending out samples. However, the incense is of a decent quality for perfumed, and this is a modern scent which could appeal to the Western market, so they could export to the US and UK if someone wanted to make a deal with them.
