Hari Darshan Red Rose Incense Cones



A standard everyday perfumed cone from Hari Darshan, part of a box of 12 different fragrances from Amazon for £14. All the cones in the range are a decent size and burn slowly and consistently. The cones are hand made from a charcoal and wood paste. 

Hari Darshan make reasonably pleasant everyday perfumed incense - either perfumed-charcoal or perfumed-masala (a term I'm using to classify incense that gives the appearance of a masala incense - that is, using dried fragrant ingredients - though the main - or only - fragrant scent comes from a liquid fragrance which may be man-made).  They are what they are. They don't make elegant or refined incense, but they make cheap and cheerful incense to brighten up a room. 

This incense cone is typical Hari Darshan.   It produces a bright, perfumed, man made scent that approximates the heady notes of rose petals in the summer. If burning with the thought in mind that this is a casual room freshener, the cone serves its purpose well. It's kind of like a room air freshener spray. Though I prefer using incense to using sprays or plug ins. I don't know why. I also prefer using incense than using those diffusers. Again, I don't know why. I guess I just like incense, even cheap perfumed incense. 

We use cones in the toilet. Easy and simple. Use the toilet, light a cone. The finished cone is easy to tip into the toilet and flush away, and it is so compact it doesn't take up space, or leave a mess. Hari Darshan cones are fine for use in the toilet. This Red Rose is fine for use in the toilet. It can also be used in the house to brighten up a room. Though we tend to use other incense for that. One downside I have noted with cones over sticks is that perfumed cones, such as this, tend to leave an ashy scent after they have finished. 

Rose scents are not amongst my favourites. This one is OK. But I prefer a musky or woody aroma.
