Vinason's (VNS) Yellow Champa

 


An attractive burn - somewhat floral with a strong fruit element, some dark fruits, some strawberry, quite sweet. Very pleasant scent notes on the stick. A dry firm paste neatly hand rolled onto a square cut bamboo splint with the tip dyed orange and giving a thin coating of tree bark powder.  A quiet scent on the burn, but moderately pleasant. 

Vinasons do not appear to be imported into the UK, and the company does not export to the UK - which is a shame as they sell 20g packets for $0.68. [2025:  To buy from VNS contact Shreyas Sugandhi at vns@vnsons.com]

I got this stick as a sample from the excellent German online PadmaStore, where the appearance is slightly different in terms of the box design and the sticks themselves.  My sample stick looks more like the stick on Vinasons website.

On the whole a pleasant everyday incense.
