Sample sent by Shreyas Sugandhi at VNS - and then I realised I already had a packet of the Special. I like the scent of sandalwood, and I'm quite happy with synthetic sandalwoods - they are among the most successful of the aroma chemicals. If you burn commercial incense, and it has that warm, woody scent of sandalwood, it's almost certainly due to an aroma chemical or two, regardless of if the stick is perfumed or a masala. Synthetic sandalwood is very effective, and finds its way into many products. The scent on this stick reminds me of the smell of sandalwood soap. It's pleasant, well behaved, and attractive.
The scent on the burn is fairly mainstream sandalwood, though a little rougher and more woody than the scent on the stick, so, for me, a tad more interesting. It's a decent scent. A little dry perhaps, but quite acceptable. I'd like it to be doing a bit more, but as it is it's an amiable room freshener.
