Aum Fragrances Seven Chakra

 


A pack of incense bought from Hostenatura.es. What I intended to get was Aum Seven Herbs, but I clicked on Aum Seven Chakra by mistake. I have an interest at the moment in the "resin on a stick" style incense made by Native Americans in California and South America - and the Aum Seven Herbs fits that style. What I have got instead is a standard Indian masala style incense. Ho hum. 

Aum Fragrances is a new incense house to me. I have found a number of companies in India which use that name, but I don't know if any of them are the same Aum Fragrances who made these sticks. They were imported into Europe by Popat Stores, Lisbon, Portugal - I don't know if they are related to Popat Stores, UK. Though, I doubt it, as the stock is different. 

There is a fairly generic Indian masala incense scent on the stick, and in the burn. The scent on the burn is weaker, and less pleasant than the scent on the stick. The scent on the stick is sandalwood and floral, with a touch of fresh sweat. It's a familiar incense scent, and I can recall this scent from my days as a hippy. It's very attractive, though there's nothing new or exciting here. The scent on the burn starts a little smoky, but then settles into a comfortable fragrance which largely echoes the scent on the stick. It is woody, floral, and sweet, and plays around with the Nag Champa accord. I like it. Decent everyday masala style room fragrance incense.
