Cheap and cheerful everyday perfumed-charcoal incense from Malaysia. The sticks are machine-made, clean, consistent, and look good. They are 10 inches long, burn for over an hour, and there are 10 sticks in each pack. Synthetic floral scent on the stick, fairly rose like. A little sweet. Quite acceptable, and as expected. There's an interesting patchouli note which grows once noticed. Lights easily, and burns smoothly. It's a professional job, and produces quite a cheerful, bright, uplifting scent. A significant down side is that this is clearly synthetic and chemical. More so than the other Sunrayn scents I've burned. The scent is pretty bog-standard room freshener, and I'm OK with that, except that it kind of doesn't do much else other than shout what it is.
I'm happy to burn stuff like this as a room freshener, and sometimes it can really lift with something quirky, or just its sheer brashness. But this Sangamam is a little disturbing in its lack of authenticity. The other Sunrayn I've burned have been brighter and jollier and less obviously synthetic than this, though this does generally fall into the same style - the everyday floral perfume scent appears to be a feature the company are going for. I just wish they hadn't weighed so heavily on the floral perfume.
