Very neat and rounded charcoal paste on a lavender tinted bamboo splint. It appears to be extruded, and then hand rolled in the finishing powder. Delicate scent on the stick, a blend of sandalwood, herbs, and vanilla, with some caramel, mint, and light florals in the mix. Attractive.

The blurb says: "This blend has a rich, warm, and exotic aroma. The deep animalic musk of kasturi combines with the earthy, woody smokiness of khus, creating a grounding base. Vanilla adds a creamy sweetness, while rose brings a fresh, slightly spicy floral touch. Amber ties everything together with its warm, resinous, and slightly powdery depth, making the overall scent luxurious, sensual, and mysterious."
The scent on the burn is warm and attractive - some benzoin, some mineral, some light musk, closer in style to amber. A little dry. Good stuff which is quite familiar and everyday. Burn enough Indian incense, and you will encounter this accord a few times. It works. More Pune in style than Bangalore, but I have come upon this accord made in various parts of India.
