These dhoop sticks are companions to the Trishala Chandan joss sticks, which I reviewed in Feb 2024. They are decent low cost everyday synthetic sandalwood which are effective and pleasant room fresheners.
Scent on the burn is soapy, floral, soft, enveloping, creamy sandalwood, and overall very beautiful. It doesn't smell "natural" - there's no earthiness, this is clean, cool, with linen room-freshener tones. There is likely to be sandalwood powder from Santalum album (usually known as white sandalwood or Indian sandalwood), along with oils - possibly a blend of sandalwood oil and less expensive synthetic oils, which would give the linen notes, and a touch of benzoin to smooth it out and add sweetness - there is a vanilla touch in the accord. It is a very pleasing experience - clean, smooth, and attractive with soft, creamy sandalwood notes. Though soft, they are a tad smoky, and that can accumulate in a small space, even with ventilation.
On the whole quite likeable as a room freshener, and good value for money if an everyday sandalwood room freshener is what you are after.
