"Premium Masala Incense - Made of Natural Herbs". Cost 85p for a pack of 15 sticks from an Indian corner shop. This is good stuff. Hand rolled charcoal paste on a machine cut and green dyed bamboo splint, then coated in a fluffy covering of fine powder. The scent on the stick is from a liquid fragrance, and is attractive. It's kind of like a coconut shampoo smell, with notes of vanilla, frangipani, and sandalwood. Nice.
The scent on the burn is pretty much the same as on the stick. There's perhaps more fruit and sandalwood and somewhat less coconut and less of the feel of a shampoo. There's some sense of masala - a sense of petals and herbs being burned, though faint - this does lean more in the direction of a perfumed incense. There is a distinct perfumey feel about the fragrance.
It burns well - reasonably slow and steady. This is an excellent value for money incense. Quite likeable as a moderate decent incense. I like this. Not heavenly, or something that excites. But it does a good job at a great price and produces a pleasing aroma in the house.
