The Trishala range by Om Sai (Om Brand) of Mumbai are low cost everyday room freshener perfumed sticks and dhoops. Decent value for money for modest but bright and professional machine-made incense sticks. The scents are all pleasant with nothing that is ugly, but also nothing which stands out as more than a basic room freshener. The name comes from Trishala, the mother of Mahavira, a Supreme Preacher in Jain religion - it would suggest purity, auspiciousness, and tradition for Indians. The patchouli is the fragrance I have most enjoyed in the range when I reviewed it in joss stick format: Trishala Patchouli.
I've not enjoyed these Trishala Patchouli dhoop sticks as much as I enjoyed the Patchouli joss sticks. These present a little too much as slick, clean modern synthetic perfume. There is little character here, and little in common with regular patchouli scents. These leans a little too much toward White Musk style synthetics. Too clean, too well behaved. It's a pleasant scent, but not really for me, especially as dhoop tends to be smokier and heavier than joss sticks.
