Shroff Channabasappa Mogra

  

This is a very decent jasmine (mogra) scented incense. The hand-rolled masala paste is moist and pliable and redolent with fragrant oil - it is like an old fashioned hair oil or cologne. Though floral, it is quite masculine - woody, spicy, aromatic, slightly citric, rather like Brut cologne. Well, actually, it is better than Brut - more interesting, more varied, sweeter and more musky. Fascinating scent. I love this. 

The scent on the burn is a little smoky, but mostly quite clean, and strongly related to the scent on the stick: floral, masculine, woody, sweet and spicy. It quickly and boldly informs the room creating a scented and comfortable warmth. Masculine without being manly or aggressive. It is a scent to reassure with confidence, and to delight with the interplay of floral notes - hints of heather and jasmine, and of woody, spicy notes. This is lovely.  This is the best mogra/jasmine incense I've burned, and I think it may be the best Shroff that I have burned. The interplay between the essential oils and the dried ingredients produces such an assured and delightful range of scents both woody and floral. Nice one.
