Oooh! Deliciously sherbet sweet on the stick, which is a proper job masala. Charcoal dust blended with fragrant ingredients, and then coated in a fragrant pale melnoorva powder. It's a lively scent, a little acidic, which gives it a sharp freshness preventing the delicious sweetness from becoming cloying. Herbal notes, some cucumber, musky undertones, touches of fresh cedar shavings. Damn good.
The scent on the burn is very similar to that on the stick, though not as bright and lively. The burn is slow and even, and the scent informs the room, leaving a residual fragrance that lingers pleasantly for a considerable time. All in all a very decent incense.
Available in the UK from Amazon in packs of 12 for £20.99 with free postage. Single packs from ScentedAndMore for £3.50. Available in the US from StoutMonk for $3.99.

I was not expecting this.
ReplyDeleteI thought this would be a basic charcoal incense with cheap smelling perfumes like other low end oudh incenses. Thank you.
Cycle Brand is Ranga Rao's oldest, most traditional, most prestigious, most acclaimed, and most popular brand. All the Cycle Brand incenses I've had have been decent masala. Cycle Brand is not as well known in the West as it should be, though in India it is widely regarded as the best incense brand.
