Amritha Lavender

 


Second of the bunch of Amritha incenses I got from Ceylon Supermarket - though should instead have bought from UK Pola who sell the same packs for 99p (£1.44 cheaper) - indeed, looking further, I find that 99p is the standard price: Alli Bhavan, Arokiya, Desicart, etc. Based on the price, and the ineptness of the company in not meeting my simple order, I would advise folks in the UK to not use Ceylon Supermarket, and to instead keep looking: you'll find cheaper and better. 

Most of the Amritha scents are standard single scent, focused on the popular single scents such as, here, lavender. And all the scents are synthetic, bold, bright, and heady. These sticks are not the Velvet Underground of the incense world, they are the Queen or Status Quo - loud, basic, popular, and joyous in their fragrant simplicity. 

There is a lavender scent here - possibly derived from the plant based aroma compound citral. It is modestly pleasant. Nothing offensive here. It's quite warm and attractive. Though it lacks the aura of true lavender oil. It is close in style to the other Amritha incenses. Indeed, closer to the others than it is to lavender itself. It's perfectly acceptable as a general room freshener. Though fairly heady, it is not distinctive or attention getting, so serves well as a warm, fresh, lavender accented background room freshener. Not as impressive as the Original. But no harm, no foul.
