R. Expo / Song Of India



R. Expo / Song Of India is an Indian company based in Noida,  a new city just outside of Delhi, with a branch in America.  They started out in 1932 as an independent business called Mathur Perfumery Works hand-making traditional incense, then branched out in 1972 to create a sales outlet in America. Aroma Temple is Song of India's main brand, and is a machine extruded and perfume-dipped incense.  In 2017 they created the hippy-chic brand The Great Indian Caravan making low cost perfume-dipped incense. They also make decent everyday masala incense. 

Visitor traffic on IncenseInTheWind is eight times more for Aroma Temple than any other incense by R. Expo / Song of India.

Incense reviewed: 11 
Highest: 38 
Lowest: 19 
Average: 23 (Everyday Incense)

Conclusion: Not a quality incense house. Appears to aim for the Western market with Westernised Indian imagery. More common in America than the UK. Does decent great value everyday masala.
