Balaji Bindu Premium Incense Sticks

 


Machine extruded everyday perfumed incense. A modern perfume accord; it's a pleasant scent, mostly floral - sweet rose with hints of strawberry, supported by a soft woody base - clean, slightly creamy sandalwood. Burns nicely and inoffensively. A decent room freshener. 

Sticks are 8 inches with 6 inches of fragrant paste which has a slightly sharp liquid volatility. Moderate flame when lit, producing some black smoke. Decent volume of grey smoke when smouldering. Sticks burn for around 40-50 minutes. The scent informs the room gently but firmly. 14g box of about 12 sticks; MRP 15 Rupees (appox 15p). Available in the UK in 30g boxes from Amazon for £3.99 including delivery. Or £3.29 for 100g in a zipper pouch from AhaBazaar. The wording on the pack is "A clean refreshing and long lasting aroma that will transform your surroundings into a blissful state." I think that's a fair statement. It is a calming and pleasant aroma. The bliss is, of course, relative. Bindu has several meanings, though appears to centre around the concept of a dot or point.  That point could be the centre of creation. 

All in all a decent everyday stick with a room freshener floral accented scent. Well made and good value.
