Pleasant, sweet, floral, quite commercial. Vanilla is prominent. This is an attractive incense - it would be widely acceptable. I like it, though find it a little too sweet and floral and commercial for my personal taste. I'd like some rough contrast to the sweetness which can become a little cloying. However, when I want to sweeten the house before a visitor, this is the incense I've been using. We've been getting quotes from builders to do work at the back of the house, and I find this brightens and freshens the house, makes it more welcoming. And it doesn't smell like weird "incense" - it smells more acceptably Western, more in line with a modern car freshener.
Pushkar is a temple town in the northwest of India. Incense is made in the town, though it is mostly known for what is (incorrectly) termed "Pushkar Temple" incense, which is likely made by an unknown white label house in either Pune or Bangalore. I assume this incense is named Pushkar to reflect the sacred nature of the town and Pushkar Lake, and has no other relationship with the "Pushkar Temple" incense.

Note: It is not publicly revealed where Adi-Guru sources the incense for the Pure Incense brand; however, the style is sometimes similar to the incenses made by HMS of Pune.
