This is called Agarwood, but I'm not expecting there to be much agarwood character here. Quality agarwood is very expensive, and this is a very cheap incense. The fragrance blender would have aimed for something that has the qualities of agarwood - which is woody, warm, sweet, smoky, resinous, spicy. It is common in incense to use a synthetic like Black Agar Givco, and/or a blend of wood oils (natural and/or synthetic) like sandalwood, cedar, with perhaps some patchouli and/or vetivert.
The scent on the stick is woody, fresh, green tea, some sweetness, but not sugary - a little sharpness, some damp earth and leather, a suggestion of halmaddi. It is pleasant and engaging. It is a fairly typical decent quality Indian woody-incense scent. The scent on the burn is warm, mild, a little smoky, some vanillin, quite engaging and pleasant, though without depth or character. It is a relaxing scent. It is a "nice" scent. There's not a lot going on here. It is just what it is. A pleasant, everyday, woody-masala incense. Incredible value for money. I'm happy to get in large supplies of this sort of incense at this sort of price. You can't go wrong really.
