Most Indian jasmine incense is mainly built up using synthetics, though on some of the more expensive incense some jasmine essential oils may be used, though generally only in small amounts. This everyday Top-Op Jasmine will use synthetics for the fragrance, though will have some sandalwood powder and possibly some benzoin or similar resin.
The scent on the stick is sweet, floral, and quite fruity, with some awareness of a sandalwood base. The scent on the burn has "jasmine incense" qualities. Quite mild, and modestly attractive. Warm and gently sweet. Little sign of the fruit scent that's on the stick. It's an OK room freshener. Acceptable for the price (£0.99 from a local Indian corner store, and sometimes seen on an Indian online shop). Imported and branded by Top-Op; made in India, quite likely by a white label incense house in Bangalore.
Variety packs (3-in-1, etc), are popular in Indian communities. And as an incense hunter I like them because I get to experience quickly and relatively inexpensively a range of scents by the same brand. I consider them as samples. The scents in this 4 In 1 pack are a well known blend and three popular mono-scents: Nag Champa, Lavender, Rose, and this Jasmine.
