Marijuana or cannabis is a not uncommon incense scent. Back in the early Seventies I lived in a hippy commune in a house called White Cottage in Tenby. There were around 30 of us in the property and garden. We'd sort of taken the place over from the owner, Turner - an eccentric English gentleman who was pleased to have all these young people hanging around him. Unfortunately he had been told by the police that us hippies burned incense to cover up the smell of smoking cannabis, so he was never happy when we burned incense. The irony of having an incense which smells like cannabis being used to cover up the smell of cannabis would, I think, have been totally lost on him.
The scent on the stick is quite fruity and citric and fresh. There is little here that reminds me of cannabis. I tend to think that patchouli is very close to the smell of cannabis - herby, sweet, musky, heady, sensual, dark. This is pretty much the opposite of that.
The scent on the burn is kinda closer to cannabis/marijuana, but that's mainly because it's a bit rustic and earthy and smoky - more smouldering wood than proper scent. The fruit smell does develop and fragrance the room, but it's not a great scent - certainly not what I had come to expect from a Nandita incense. Quite disappointing. I got this from the same source as the Devil's Garden Vampire Blood - the OnlineLondonStore. I worked out that it was likely that the Vampire Blood sticks were ten years old. Given that these were part of a low cost deal, it is possible that all the Nandita I got from the store are part of an out of date batch that they are selling off cheap.
It's not bad - clean, fresh, fruity. But it's not that great either. Sort of average everyday incense. A little under what I have come to expect of Nandita. And it doesn't, to me, smell of marijuana.
