This is called Prem in the UK, but Lavanya elsewhere. Ingredients are given for both as "many layers of" jasmine, ylang ylang, vanilla, and cedar.

Delightful scent on the stick. Delicate, floral, powdery sweet. Smells like Love Hearts. Quite joyful and uplifting and feminine, and somewhat child-like. Yeah. Nice. Very commercial - I should imagine such a scent would have a wide appeal. I like it.

The scent on the burn continues what was started on the stick. Powdery sweet, with light floral notes. I wouldn't pin it down to jasmine or anything, more a generic sweet floral - a sort of lab made "floral" which could be used in sweets, soaps, and casual home fresheners. There's a vague and soft woody base, with a gentle bitter roughness like tree bark which gives a decent balance to the sweetness. Hmm. Some more identifiable jasmine is starting to impress itself on me. Along with some faint caramel, and an even fainter sense of prickly lambs wool, which I tend to associate with halmaddi. Away on the edges I'm aware of the dry, peppery notes I am apt to get from Pondicherry incense, but mostly I'm finding this gentle, sweet, delicate, and appealing. The child like feminine sweetness at the start is quite joyful and uplifting, then, when the base notes start to makes themselves felt, this becomes a more serious and rounded incense, with a calming influence. Yes, I like this.
