Tulasi White Rose Floral Incense Sticks

 


This square pack of everyday synthetic perfumed incense turned up in a box which held several other older packets of incense which I've been reviewing (or re-reviewing) over the past couple of weeks. It's interesting going back to incense brands which I became familiar with a while ago. Tulasi, the brand name of Sarathi International Inc, a well established, large and successful incense house in Bangalore, is commonly seen online and in shops where incense is sold. Job lots of their perfumed incense can be picked up cheaply. But rarely is it worth while. It is a middle to low end everyday synthetic incense company, though a scent  now and again will pop, and be acceptable. They do sell some decent masala incense, like Vidwan, and some acceptable everyday perfumed masala incense like Nag Champa & Rose, but it is their synthetic stuff that is most commonly known. This White Rose packet was left over from a job lot purchase back in 2018, so it's not fresh and that will impact on the pleasure of the scent. 

The scent on the stick is reasonably pleasant though quite chemical, and smells like a floral washing powder for clothes. The scent on the burn, typically for most incenses, especially perfumed incense, is not as immediate or inviting  as the scent on the stick. There's the smudge of smoke which inhibits the freshness of the perfume. However, once the burn is over, there is briefly a modestly bright and sweet floral note in the room which is surprising. All in all, not an impressive incense, but - to be fair - it was better than I was expecting in the circumstances.

    4. If you put all that together then that'll make a direct link. The two parts you'll change each time are the url address and the text. The rest will be the same.

    5. OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH! Now there will not be any awkward situations of you converting my links into direct link. I only know how to make direct links on Wordpress (the domain where I made my incense blog Ratnagandh) and Reddit.
