GIRI Namo Shanti

 

GIRI is an Indian online shop specialising in bhakti (religious devotion) supplies. It is based in Chennai in Tamil Nadu, though doesn't make incense itself, so sources from incense factories across India, such as Parimal, and Aadinath Enterprises of Ahmedabad, who made these Shanti sticks. 

This is a standard machine-extruded perfumed stick for everyday use. There is the usual sense of synthetic aroma compounds - this one has florals, inclining toward rose, and a sense of charcoal with a whiff of faecal matter, which, curiously, actually adds interest rather than repulsion. 

The scent on the burn is similar to that on the stick, though a little darker. Ho hum. Little here of interest.
