This Spirituality set by Ranga Rao (Cycle), using their Vasu brand name, has the theme of Hindu gods - rather similar to Sree Vani's Little Gods set (similar in theme, though not in quality). Durga is the main representation of Mahadevi, the supreme goddess. She is usually portrayed as the protector or warrior goddess with several arms, each holding a weapon, and riding on a lion.
This Durga stick looks and smells remarkably like the Ganesha stick I've just reviewed. There is a distinct sambrani fragrance, which is based on benzoin, and that was my take on the Ganesha. Alok Pandey of incense house Malaan, remarked that in his experience all Cycle incense used benzoin. I hadn't noticed that myself - perhaps because most of my experience has been with the perfumed charcoal sticks; however, I've opened all the other packs in this set, and they all look the same and smell the same; and - yes - they all smell of sambrani, which uses benzoin. But where the Ganesha was jasmine and sambrani, this stick is sulphur and fruit with sambrani.
The scent on the burn is a little bit like an autumnal bonfire, though more fragrant with those benzoin notes. It's moderately attractive, but it doesn't turn me on.
