Candy sweet perfume on the stick. Light and floral, with a touch of honey. Quite jolly and feminine. Very likeable.
The scent on the burn is quite divine, taking the perfume on the stick and building it into a wonderful incense experience. I love this. Sweet, floral, musky, sensual yet light and airy. It manages to do so many wonderful things at the same time. It's extraordinary how it can be musky and sensual and sexy at the same time as light, floral, and airy. Full of uplifting energy, yet also warm, enveloping, and relaxing. I love this, and am surprised at myself for only scoring 37 last time. This is a dreamy little thing! There is no tension between the musky, woody, chocolate, base notes and the light, delicate, candy sweet florals - the two extremes work in harmony together. This is like coming upon Satya Nag Champa for the first time. Like A Virgin, all over again. Love it!

Woody, musky, exotic, erotic, warm, sweet, herbal, evocative, patchouli. Yes, this is the sort of Goloka I like. I've just reviewed two Goloka packets, Nature's Sandalwood and Goodearth; while both were decent, well made incense, I found them quite simple and ultimately unsatisfying. This rounded, sensual, mysterious incense has restored my faith in Goloka being a team likely to produce delicious, enveloping, and rewarding incense that will stand out as something special at a low cost.
A decent woody, musky masala incense. It feels natural. It feels comforting and embracing. Nice one.
Ooh, this looks interesting I’ll try this. I liked Goloka’s Natures Nest and Meditation form their Nature collection.
ReplyDeleteMy experience with Goloka has generally been positive. I sometimes wonder what it is about an incense that is most important in me liking it. Is it the maker. The scent. Or the production method? What is the order of preference? I've never really fussed about the production method - masala, or perfumed, or resin. Instinctively I would say that resin would be my preferred form of incense, but my reviews run counter to that. I remember back when I started this blog I burned some amber resin (not reviewed) and was blown away. And I've been questing ever since on repeating that experience. But I just couldn't seem to get it right. I tried charcoal discs and various burners sometimes using foil and sometimes not. I've recently got an adjustable tea-light burner, and early efforts are promising. I've tried some Goloka resin and it didn't work for me. Now that I have my adjustable burner I might give the Goloka resin another go.
