Bangalore Incense Store Bangalore Sandalwood



A machine extruded stick. Scent on the stick is powdery, slightly medicinal, with sweet sandalwood awareness and light aldehyde sparkles. There is an attractive earthiness about this cold throw fragrance, with a general ambience of an empty and abandoned car workshop on a hot summer's day - notes of dust, engine oil, petrol, and hot metal. Interesting. 

Decent scent on the burn, though leaning a little too much toward White Musk for my taste. This is quite a clean sandalwood, though there are some earthy elements which keeps it interesting. On the whole a decent everyday room freshener based around quite a clean sandalwood perfume. 

Available from Bangalore Incense at 50g for £1.31. Bangalore Incense ships internationally.  [As of May 2026 there is a glitch that multiplies  by a thousand the price when it comes to purchase. So a £2 (or $2) incense becomes £2,000. Jaygee has told me that if folks contact him on WhatsApp (+91-8549904990) he'll give them the true (and much lower!) cost. In the meantime he is working to fix the glitch.]
