Baykeri's of Mumbai



Baykeri's are a Mumbai incense house formed in 1970 with the launch of their flagship brand, Shivranjani; a well known and auspicious incense in India, as the company managed to get the Indian spiritual leader (or godman)  Satya Sai Baba (the same person used as a brand name by Shrinivas Sugandhalaya of Satya Nag Champa fame) to take part in the launch. 
A solid and traditional incense house mostly in the South Indian style, tending to dry and sombre rather like Pondicherry, though some fragrances have gentle floral notes which gives them an attractive lift. On the whole not my thing, as I tend to prefer richer, sweeter incense with Persian/Arabian influence, such as that from Pune, though the incense is decent and well made.
