Oooh this is cracking! Scent on the stick is a tad volatile, but not much. The scent hovers around pine, sandalwood, rose, spice, and some resin. Then when lit up, wow! The cold throw scents are here, but now more balanced, clean, and sharp, with the volatile notes burned off. Patchouli, nutmeg, musk, cannabis flirt around, and then the resin notes kicks in, and woosh, we're on another planet.
I love this!
Jaygee tells me that his mother grows most of the herbs on her terrace garden without the use of chemical sprays; she gathers them fresh daily, drying them in the sun before grinding them down by hand and mixing them with her signature spice mix that she curates and makes herself in her kitchen. This masala mixture is then made into a incense dough to be hand rolled and once the sticks are sun dried she sprays them with a curated mixture of essential oils.

Available from Bangalore Incense at 10 sticks for £0.39. 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.]
Date: May 2026 Score: 46/50
