This is more of a placeholder, with text copied from my first review. I'll update later.
I've been curious about Phool for a little while, as there's been a buzz of interest in them because of their sustainability marketing, especially the re-using of temple flowers. So I was pleased to get a box of 40 cones from aavyaa for ₹290.00 (approx. £2.90) with free shipping. The using of temple flowers in incense is becoming popular, Kailapira do it with Alaknanda and others, and Ranga Rao do it with their excellent Pushkarini. In my limited experience, the use of temple flowers is not mainly for the scent, but as part of the burning material as the crushed petals contain carbon elements, though when the petal powder is blended with oils, it can assist the aroma.

I find most of the phool incenses to have that burnt, wilted flowers and intense wooly fragrance which bothers with some of the fragrances like Indian rose, lavender and tuberose. I find it unpleasant and most of them have mold in there faster. But their oudh, vetiver, Nargis and their newly launched sandalwood is my favorite. I find some brands which does good flowecycled incense, like help us green with their khus dhoop sticks, Cycle with their Rhythm Pushkarini, Nirmalaya with their Tulsi, Sandalwood, Forestwood and Zen and Tulasi’s Sugandh lok with their Bangalore’s special, Deluxe sandal, soundarya, dehn Al oudh, vidwan, shankhnaad and vanilla bean
