Sai Handicrafts Amber

 


There is a curious volatile lemony scent on the stick - quite artificial and chemical. It reminds me of some of the crude Pushkar incenses from Northern India, which curiously I've just been discussing with "BriefChemistry" today in regards to the possibility that British based Sai Handicrafts are sourcing their Oudh from Pushkar, as "BriefChemistry" found them to be very similar. Though "BriefChemistry" says he got his Ruhe Oud from Vrindavan (which is where I suspect - though I don't know - that Pinkesh of Sai Handicrafts buys his incense). Anyway...

The fragrance when burned is less chemical and volatile, though still has a pronounced lemon character. It is an attractive scent, though not compelling. It does have a little sharp pinch now and again, which I don't like. On the whole a moderately likeable everyday sort of uplifting room freshener, but a little crude, not divine, and not, for me, within scope of a fragrance that I would identify as amber (albeit that amber is a vague scent which will differ from incense house to incense house).  I find this to be more suitable for the toilet than the house in general.
