Fair Trade Nitiraj Green Champa

  

Fair Trade are a private label incense company based just outside Mumbai (Bombay) whose Nitiraj brand used to be distributed by Bombay Incense, then Ian Snow, and now I'm not sure, but Nitiraj is widely available in the UK and America. 

This is a sweet incense with floral qualities. Champa is the plumeria flower, also known as frangipani - it has citrus qualities which are present here. There's also almonds, candy, sandalwood and leather. All decent scents, and melding well together. On the burn there's something spicy and woody, with a suggestion of cannabis. It's quite herbal and lacks the sweetness on the stick. It's a modest scent - acceptable as an everyday low end  masala, but nothing more than that. This doesn't lift. But it is clean, and has a cleansing feel. Probably best used as a light background cleanser of the house.
