Raajsee Dragon's Blood Natural Incense Cones

Raajsee are based in Jaipur in northern India, and were established as a business in 1957. They also sell tapestries and handmade wooden items. It looks like they added incense to their portfolio at a later date. Though they say "made from scratch", it is not clear if Raajsee make the incense themselves. They also sell HEM and Satya incense. They have companies with the names J.P. Fashions, and Enn Dee International, which operate from the same Jaipur address. The holding company is Raajsee Pride, which has Nishant Nagpal and Dishant Nagpal ("Enn" and "Dee") as proprietors. 

I picked up an assorted pack of Raajsee cones on Amazon: 6 packs for £12 - an average sort of price. We tend to use incense cones as a convenient room freshener, especially in the bathroom; and I am an incense hunter, so when I top up our room freshener cones I do like to look for incenses houses I've not previously reviewed.  While I have enjoyed the scents of various cones over the years, I tend not to regard them as "proper" incense. Not exactly sure why, as if I was wearing a blindfold, I'm not sure I could tell the difference between a cone and a stick from the same incense house. I like sticks, and I like dhoop, and I like pure resin - I have a positive association with those. But cones I tend to regard as second class incense, and best used as room fresheners. With some exceptions, they don't excite me. I often find them cute and fun, though. Ho hum.   

Scent on the cone is perfumed. Pleasant. Quite clean - a little like the synthetic aroma White Musk. The scent on the burn is less clean - it's a little scratchy and has a note of scorched paper. There's a powdery talc note, and again that White Musk. It's acceptable rather than interesting or fragrant. Decent enough at a distance, and with some fresh air.
