First review

I am currently curious about the situation regarding  Haridas Madhavdas Sugandhi (HMS) of Pune, who make very decent and distinctive vanilla accented and sparkle crusted incense sticks which they sell to various distributors to retail under their own branding - such as Pure Incense
BhagwanGokulaPrasad, etc. This is another such example; sold via the UK Krishna temple, Bhaktivedanta Manor (which was bought for the UK branch of  the international Krishna movement by George Harrison in 1972), via their online site Sacred Boutique/KrishnaShopping.com. It sells at £1.50 for a basic plastic sleeve of 10g (approx 10 sticks). This is a low price for Haridas Madhavdas incense, comparable to Gokula, who also generally sell at very tempting prices.  

This is the same incense as sold by Bhagwan, and which I reviewed in November last year: (HMS) Bhagwan Incense Lavender Bliss Masala Incense, and also the same as Blue Pearl Lavender, which I reviewed in Sept last year. I will be comparing all three side by side to see what, if any, differences there are.  It's a perfumed charcoal incense, with a toilet cleaner sharp volatility on the stick.  There is some lavender on the burn, faint hints of vanilla, and some cool charcoal. It presents and performs as an everyday perfumed incense. It's not offensive - it's clean, sharp, and cleansing, but it's not doing much for me.
