Thurga's SunRayn Parrot Incense Sticks

 


Fruity and floral everyday synthetic perfumed-charcoal incense from Thurga's Industries of Malaysia.  Not generally found in the usual incense outlets, but in Indian grocery stores including online such as DesiKhazana, and AlliBhavan.  The sticks are a generous length - over 10 inches, with approx 7 1/2 inches of machine extruded charcoal paste which has been infused with a synthetic room-freshener style fragrance. The scent on the stick is mildly candy sweet, volatile with chemical notes, floral (mainly rose) and fruity (possibly strawberry, plum, and something softly citric). 

Thurga's packets are eye-catching: bold and colourful and fun, and larger than the average. The perfumes used are also bold and vibrant and fun. The first I tried was Paavai Vilakku, in March last year (2023), which I got from  Desi Khazana for 69p. It was cheap and cheerful, so I bought a big batch of them to explore further as a fun, and quite decent everyday perfumed incense. 



This is a long burning stick (over 60 minutes) with no off-notes. It settles into a pleasingly sweet and slightly heady rose.  This is a decent quality and good value (10 sticks per pack - over 10 hours of incense for less than 70p) everyday room freshener that pleasantly informs a large room with a sweet, feminine, and uplifting floral fragrance.
