The last of the pack of 6 "Trippy Hippy" incense sticks made for Folkulture, an American lifestyle shop. They were a gift from one of my granddaughters for helping get her into university. The sticks are made on the outskirts of Delhi. The box is available in USA from Folkulture for $15.99, and in the UK for £12.34. That's around £2 per pack of 20 quite jolly machine extruded and scented sticks. On the whole I found the sticks to be bright and acceptable room fresheners - not for incense connoisseurs, but perfectly fine for casual everyday use.
The scent on the sticks is bright and juicy, a little volatile, with a feel of room freshener perfume, quite fruity and floral, with notes of pineapple, soap, and sandstone, along with day old cigarette smoke. The blurb on the back says: "Radiate good vibes with these incense sticks that have a relaxing aroma. The scents of pineapple and mango will appeal to your olfactory senses. Close your eyes and imagine yourself on a tropical island getaway."
The scent on the burn, as is typical for perfumed incense, does not live up to the promise on the stick - it is less sharp and bright, and some of the scents are obscured with the aroma of smoke. However, it is largely bright and attractive, and does lift the room. It feels to me like a morning incense.
