Eight inches of hand rolled soft crumbly masala paste on an 8 inch plain machine-cut bamboo splint. The paste is quite chunky and not smoothly rolled, suggesting it was quite stiff and sticky - it has a full covering of sandy brown melnoorva powder. Pleasant woody scent leaning much more to sandalwood than agarwood, with touches of cedarwood sharpness - though that's all in line with natural agarwood. It's lemony and citric, fairly bright, almost sharp. Pleasant rather than heavenly.
When lit the flame is low and lazy, but it does catch and smoulder. It burns quite hot with a long red tip. The scent is warm, woody, gentle, perfumed, pleasant. It lacks range and depth and richness, but it is reasonably attractive in a modest way, and I find it likeable, though not exciting.
