Balaji Royal Bengal Premium Incense Sticks

 

Second review - scroll down for earlier

This is the same pack I reviewed last year. I normally put everyday room freshener incense out for casual burning in the house, but this somehow ended up in one of my incense storage boxes that I've just been sorting through.  

It's a pleasant machine-extruded everyday perfumed room freshener. The scent on the burn is light, warm, and modern. A sort of "linen-fresh" car freshener scent. Pleasant as a sort of uplifting and moderately cleansing room freshener. OK.

First review

Another charity zipper pack of everyday machine extruded perfumed incense from Balji, in the same series as Heroes of India. This pack declares that a portion of profits will go toward conservation of the Bengal tiger. 

This is an attractive incense; very much a casual everyday burner, and rather limp with a quick fade, but pleasant and interesting enough to keep in the house as a quick and wholesome casual freshener. It's a modern scent with an outdoor woodsy, fern, and damp moss accord touched with musk warmth and sweet notes of patchouli. The scent on the stick is reasonably compelling, inviting repeat sniffs, though the menthol volatility is a little off-putting, creating an interesting tension. 

We like this.
