Sold via the UK Krishna temple, Bhaktivedanta Manor (which was bought by George Harrison for the UK branch of the international Krishna movement), via their online site Sacred Boutique/KrishnaShopping.com. Sacred Boutique say they import from the sacred city of Vrindavan (incense from which is also sold by Vrindavan Bazaar, Gokula, Sai Handicrafts, and others). The packet says "Charcoal Free", though the paste crumbles in my fingers, and leaves dark marks similar to charcoal. There are no smouldering paper smells when the stick is burned, which I tend to get from incense which uses wood powder. I would have thought this was a standard charcoal paste stick. Anyway....
This produces a very attractive mainstream sandalwood scent which has delightful scent notes playing around that central core. There are similarities with the Vrindavan Bazaar Sandal Supreme I've just reviewed, though that will be the case with most Indian sandalwood incense - they follow a similar course. This one is heavier than the Sandal Supreme, with more woody, musky notes. As my taste inclines more toward the woody and musky, I prefer this Sandal Blossom.
