Thurga's Sunrayn Malligai

  

I like exploring incense from around the world, so when, back in 2023, I came upon an incense house based in Malaysia, I knew I had to try them. The incenses by Thurga's are not top level world class - they are not that special. But they are decently made everyday perfumed-charcoal room-fresheners. I like the packaging - I like the bold colours, and the cute images. That carries over into the scents - they are simple, cute, and bold. Not interesting scents - the usual run of the mill mono-scents. But they are scents that work well as light-and-forget background room warmers and brighteners. I have visited Malaysia - it is a modern, forward looking country with towering architecture in the capital, yet well secured in Asian traditions. It felt cleaner and safer than other Asian countries I've visited, though perhaps less friendly and charming. However, the people were always delightful and smiling and very patient. It is curiously multicultural and ethnically mixed, though it all feels harmonious. The main religion is Islam, so alcohol is frowned on, and there are few bars; however, by some quirk that nobody quite understands, a license was given to form a brewery which makes one average lager. A few enterprising Westerners have exploited that loop,  to sell what appears to be a wide range of beers, but is just the same lager with different flavourings added.  Anyway, Thurga's make standard Indian style perfume-dipped incense, albeit a bit longer than the typical Indian, so they appear to be a cross between Indian and Asian incense sticks. 

Malligai is a South Asian jasmine - most likely to be Jasminum sambac. Jasmine is a very popular single-scent incense. It is one of the oldest fragrance flowers cultivated by mankind, and has long been used to flavour food and drinks, and as a perfume. Of its use and history in incense I am less certain.  These days its use in incense is as an oil - essential or synthetic or a blend of both, which is either included in the paste that is rolled (or extruded) onto (or into) a stick, or added externally to a pre-made unscented stick. It produces a waxy, sweet, often quite heady "white" floral scent, with musky undertones. It's not my favourite incense scent (jasmine incenses which I may score high, tend to be individual variations which are not typically "jasmine"), though I find it attractive and comfortable when burned. It makes an acceptable room freshener, lifting the atmosphere of a room. 

There is a generic jasmine scent on the stick of this Sunrayn Malligai - it feels synthetic, and more like a fabric conditioner scent than a fresh flower, though there are pleasant waxy white floral peaks, and no unpleasant off-notes. The scent on the burn is soft, pleasant, floral, with distinct jasmine notes. It's simple, straightforward, and difficult to dislike. It is creamy and silky, similar to quality hand lotion, with touches of almond and leather. It's not shy but nor is it assertive - it can be placed a distance away, and it will firmly but gently come to you. No need to waft the smoke toward you, it will come to you. This is probably best as a warmer season incense - especially with windows open, though if I wanted a touch of spring sunshine in my room during the winter months I can see myself reaching for this. 

Not a great incense. Not a deep or complex incense, but a damn fine everyday jasmine incense that I'm happy to burn if its a jasmine incense I want. And it's great value for money at 50p a pack from VallisUK.

(HMS) Prasad Celestial Musk

 

I have a sample pack of Prasad branded incense made by Haridas Madhavdas Sugandhi of Pune, India (HMS) who supply incense sticks to a variety of Western and domestic outlets, as well as selling under their own name from their shop in Pune, as well as on Amazon, India. I bought the pack of 14 sticks, named Prasad Celestial Assorted, from ExoticIncense for $2.70. ExoticIncense do ship internationally at a reasonable rate (at least they did before Trump started his tariffs trade war).  The sticks are all packed in the same plastic bag, with a code on the bag listing the 14 scents with colour coding to help identify the scents. The colour coding is not quite as helpful as it could be as only seven different colours are used on the tips - and the difference between yellow and beige or red and pink is not clear, so the colour of the paste is also given, but as that is either brown or black, with just two greens, it can take a while deciding what is what. Normally this shouldn't be much of a problem, as these are all traditional and familiar mono-scents: Rose, Jasmine, Lavender, Musk, Patchouli, etc, so a quick sniff should sort it out. But as these sticks are made by HMS, who infamously like to use vanilla in the mix, they tend to all smell of vanilla. 

This is the green paste on a green tipped stick, which is listed as Musk. The scent on the stick is vanilla. The scent on the burn is mildly floral and herby with some sweetness and a bit of smoke. It's a gentle scent, more background room warmer than anything distinctive. It presents to me as closer to a soft, low quality patchouli rather than a musk. It's rather "meh". Not offensive at all, but I'm really indifferent toward it. HMS are a curious incense house: they have a distinctive style - that sweet vanilla scent, and are rather more random and variable than average. Fans of HMS love the organic randomness of the house - that one day it could be sweet and delightful, while another day it could be sweet and ordinary. As HMS rarely produce poor smelling sticks, it isn't a gamble of getting either a great stick or a bad stick, it's more about getting a pleasant stick or a delightful stick. Though how delightful folks will find HMS, even on a good day, will depend on their tolerance for sweet vanilla. 

As a musk incense this is unsatisfactory. As a general soft room-freshener incense this is OK. As a HMS incense, I'm finding it at the lower end of my experience so far. It is pretty much the same as Primo Incense Nepal Musk, which I reviewed in 2017, and scored as 26 with notes that it was very mild, and smelled of patchouli rather than musk. It is also similar to Pure Incense Nepal Musk, which I also reviewed in 2017, though I loved it and enthused about it, and rated it 46. Was this due to one of those random HMS batches that work well, or was it due to Adi-Guru Das, the owner of Pure Incense, adding his own oils to the batch? Adi-Guru, unusual among the re-branding traders, goes in person to Haridas Madhavdas Sugandhi, overseeing the production, and bringing some of his own fragrance oils which are then added to the mix. Back in 2017 we compared the Primo (now sold as Gokula Nepal Musk) with the Pure Incense. We found many similarities, but found the Pure Incense to be richer and sweeter. We didn't feel there was anything extra added to the Pure Incense, it was just that it smelled more pure and more pleasant. One conjecture would be that the Primo, Gokula, and Prasad use a weaker or less pure fragrance solution than the Pure Incense. 

Anyway, this Celestial Musk is a modest but acceptable, low cost, everyday room freshener incense which resembles patchouli more than musk. $2.20 for 10g/10sticks from Prasad (or Exotic Incense).

(HMS) Prasad Celestial Amber

 

This "Celestial Amber" is made by HMS in Pune, India (Haridas Madhavdas Sugandhi, and sold under the American Prasad Gifts brand. Incense made by HMS is generally sweet, attractive, and commercial.  HMS scents are immediately likeable, and the first few times I had an HMS incense I got very excited. Over time, the simplicity and sweetness of the fragrances tend to pall - some of the thrill diminishes, the lack of an intelligent and adventurous nose behind the scent construction starts to show, and the sweetness without sufficient contrast becomes a little cloying. The scents do remain attractive, but the experience is more akin to having a vanilla cornet from an ice-cream van rather than a deconstructed tiramisu (though, sometimes, it is just a simple vanilla cornet that one wants). 

The scent on the stick is perfumed and attractive though a little muddled - there's vanilla, marble dust, alcohol, fermented fruit, and something a little savoury. There may be some sense of amber in there as well, but difficult to pin down. It reminds me a little of Pushkar incense, though not as brash or crude. 

The scent on the burn puts a bit more weight on the savoury element. There's some scorched wood, onions, some curry spices, all supported and wrapped up in burnt vanilla. The after scent is woody vanilla. It's a moderate scent. Curious. I like that there's an odd twist to this, so it's not just a sweet vanilla, but has that savoury note - woody, burnt vanilla. But I'm not a huge fan. It's a curious and mildly interesting scent rather than an aesthetically pleasing one, and it feels more like a scent that has turned up when mixing fragrance oils, rather than something that was planned and desired. And that tends to be the way I feel about most HMS fragrances, even when I really like them, that they are arrived at more by chance than design.

Thurga's Sunrayn Sangamam

   

  

Cheap and cheerful everyday perfumed-charcoal incense from Malaysia. The sticks are machine-made, clean, consistent, and look good. They are 10 inches long, burn for over an hour, and there are 10 sticks in each  pack. Synthetic floral scent on the stick, fairly rose like. A little sweet. Quite acceptable, and as expected. There's an interesting patchouli note which grows once noticed. Lights easily, and burns smoothly. It's a professional job, and produces quite a cheerful, bright, uplifting scent. A significant down side is that this is clearly synthetic and chemical. More so than the other Sunrayn scents I've burned. The scent is pretty bog-standard room freshener, and I'm OK with that, except that it kind of doesn't do much else other than shout what it is. 

I'm happy to burn stuff like this as a room freshener, and sometimes it can really lift with something quirky, or just its sheer brashness. But this Sangamam is a little disturbing in its lack of authenticity. The other Sunrayn I've burned have been brighter and jollier and less obviously synthetic than this, though this does generally fall into the same style - the everyday floral perfume scent appears to be a feature the company are going for.  I just wish they hadn't weighed so heavily on the floral perfume.

(HMS) Prasad Celestial Patchouli

 

Sweet and musky (and musty) scent on the stick. Green coloured paste with sparkles (possibly vanilla or crystal or - more likely - vanillin) on a red stick. The stick is made by HMS as Classic Patchouli. It is also sold as Blue Pearl Patchouli; as Primo/Gokula/Gaura Patchouli; as Bhagwan Patchouli; and as Triloka Hawaiian High (and possibly others). There are variations between each of these brands, which could be purposeful, or simply the natural variations that occur with HMS due to their casual/sloppy/artisanal (take your pick) approach to incense making. Fans of HMS embrace and celebrate the variations as evidence that these are individually made sticks, not carbon-copy machine-made sticks. Think of it like the difference between hearing a band on record and seeing the band live. The live performance is going to vary from night to night, and some nights are going to be sub-par, while other nights are going to be magical. Meanwhile, the record is going to be the same every night. Record and live performance have their plus and minus points, and it's each to their own which they prefer. I like both. 

It's kind of interesting how many companies use HMS, and the variations in price when this happens. I find it a shame that HMS is not directly exported (or imported) to the West, and I don't know why a shop like Padma Store is not doing just that. I for one would appreciate the clarity. I just looked, and I see that Everest Trader sells unboxed HMS on Etsy. Shipping is not cheap, and I'd prefer to have the sticks in the HMS boxes, but that's a useful source, especially if living in America. 

The scent on the stick is herby and vanilla sweet. It's very commercial and attractive. I like it. The scent on the burn is equally pleasant. It's not an obvious patchouli - there are a range of scents, and one could say that patchouli is in there, but so are other experiences, most of them hovering around herb and vanilla, though there's also musk, light wood, some floral - but faint and vanishing,  and some ghostly gourmand fragrances - possibly mint, possibly coconut, possibly chocolate. It's a typical HMS incense - sweet, pleasant, commercial, elusive.  By commercial, I mean that the scent will have a wide popularity, and there's nothing challenging or difficult here. There are appealing scents offered up feely and with a solid strength - not too strong and not too weak. HMS could be the ABBA of the incense world, and this Patchouli is like Sugar Sugar by The Archies. It's great fun and very pleasant, but a little too sweet and lacking in authenticity to be a really high scorer for me. 

I had a quick look around for other variations of this stick, and two that came to hand were Bhagwan Patchouli and Triloka Hawaiian High. All three are different - recognisably from the same house, and all three playing around with herbs and vanilla, with a sense of patchouli in there, but I couldn't say that these are the same sticks. The Bhagwan is rich, fresh, herbal. Not as sweet. Less vanilla for sure. Less excitement and pleasure, but more earthy, interesting, and satisfying. The scent on the burn is rather mild. A little too mild for my taste - I get impatient with such scents. It's not so much that it's mild, it's more that it's lazy - it will toddle along eventually, but pretty much when my attention has drifted off. I'm rarely one to sit and study an incense for the 40 minutes of so of its burn. I'm generally doing something else, and my attention will come back now and again. If the incense doesn't really change or develop, then my attention will not return. The Bhagwan comes up with the goods just as I'm about to switch off completely. It ends up being the most traditional of the three HMS sticks, and somehow, for me, the most likeable. The Triloka is sweet and fruity. Very fruity. Tropical fruit - pineapple and coconut. While this may be HMS doing a variation on the Patchouli, it may also be something else entirely. There's threads in common, but the general picture is not quite the same.

Nippon Kodo

 

The Japanese incense company Nippon Kodo claims an incense making lineage back to 1575. That claim needs to be considered carefully, as the Nippon Kodo company was established rather more recently - in 1965. The connection to the 1575 date appears to come via the Kojo company, which is now owned by Nippon Kodo. The Kojo company traces its history back to an incense maker, Juuemon Koju, who opened a store (presumably in 1575 - this source says "late 16th century) called Ginza Koju.  

Nippon Kodo's best known product is the famous MainichiKoh. Though it was not developed by Nippon Kodo. It was developed by Kito Tenkundo in 1909. Kito Tenkundo is another Japanese incense company that was later acquired by Nippon Kodo. It appears that Nippon Kodo is the Japanese incense equivalent of British brewery Greene King (nicknamed Greedy King) which has a reputation for buying up smaller breweries, taking their popular brands, and then closing them down; or the huge international brewery company AB InBev, which has done the same thing, but on a larger scale. Anyway. A Japanese incense company Kokando, founded in Osaka in 1883, opened a Tokyo branch in 1944. The Tokyo branch bought the rights to Mainichikoh from Kito Tenkundo shortly after the end of the Pacific War in 1945. It was the Toyko branch of Kokando which split away from the main company and formed Nippon Kodo in 1965, based on the financial power acquired by the purchase of Mainichikoh.

Conclusion: Modestly likeable, but not an incense company that gets me excited. And I don't like when a company makes inappropriate claims. This company was founded in 1965, and perhaps can claim 1944 or 1883, but claiming 1575 because they bought the ailing Kojo company is misleading.

(HMS) Prasad Celestial Sandalwood

 

Prasad Incense is the brand name of incense sold by American gifts and incense shop Prasad Gifts. The incense is made by HMS (Haridas Madhavdas Sugandhi of Pune), a much used and fairly distinctive white label incense house who make incense for a number of own brand outlets in India and the West, such as Gokula,  Berk, and Pure, as well as selling incense under their own name (though not easily available in the West). 

These are hand-rolled sticks with oils used in the paste and applied externally to the stick. I've not compared  them (by a side by side burn) to other HMS sandalwood incense sticks, but this appears to me to be the same experience I had with Primo Sandalwood / Gokula Sandalwood & Vanilla / Gaura Absolute Sandalwood and The Dhupa Collection Bhaktivedanta ManorSandalwood.  They smell more of vanilla than of sandalwood. It's a modest, pleasant scent, which sweetens the room.  Vanilla is a common scent in HMS incenses - I suspect it comes from the use of vanilla as a fixative, but that's just speculation. It is possible that the company use vanilla as a feature scent because it is so sweet and appealing. The downside is that for a number of people, vanilla can become cloying after a while, especially if it is used reasonably prominently, as it is here. I quite like vanilla in modest amounts.

This is not much different to Satya's Dragon's Blood cones.  A variation on a theme. This is a bit darker (both in colour of the cone, and in the fragrance) than the Satya. Less green, a tad more smoky, but they are both singing from the same hymn sheet - it's just that HEM has the huskier, earthier voice.  I prefer the Satya.

Aromatika Navagraha Sambrani Frankincense Resin Cup

  

I'm curious about resin or sambrani cups. I first noticed them a few years ago, and reviewed my first, Raj Guru Vandana Sambrani Cup, back in 2018. I think I got this pack around the same time, and I've burned a few of the cups, but hadn't reviewed it until now. So this is just my second resin cup. While curious, I was a little put off with my experience of the Raj Guru Vandana. The cups take a long time to light, and the Raj Guru Vandana was rather smoky when burning - setting off the fire alarm in the house. They require a lot of ventilation. I found it best to use them as a smudge in the house - walk around the house as the cup burns, allowing the smoke and fragrance to spread in each room before moving on to the next. And then I put the cup in our outhouse. The house does feel cleansed, energised, and well fragranced afterwards, and the scent remains for hours. So I've come round to liking them, despite there being a bit of awkwardness in their use. However, I'm not yet seeing the real advantage over burning resin on a burner. And for convenience, I'd rather have one of the resin-on-a-stick type incenses I've been exploring recently - such as  Pure Yemen Dragons Blood and Inca Aromas Pitanga. 

The incense is named after Navagraha, the nine planets which, according to Indian tradition, influence our lives - similar to Western astrology. There is no real scent from the cups before being lit. The resin is covered in a resin which holds them in place, and I assume this also hold the fragrance, so it is only released when warmed. There is a resin aroma during the burn, though it is a little blurry and smoky. There is a crisp citric quality inclining to lemon and bergamot, a touch of vague floral, and some mild resinous wood inclining toward pine. While the scent is that of a resin, I wouldn't have picked frankincense as the resin - for me it inclines more to benzoin, but is more of a generic wood resin than any one in particular. As with the Guru Vandana, the experience is best when the cup is no longer burning, and improves with time - the residual smoke scent diminishing while the resin scent begins to hold its own. There is a pleasant moment of warmth and brightness when the smoke smell has diminished completely, and before the resin scent fades completely. 

I burn incense for the pleasure of the scent, and how it fragrances our home. I don't really want to be fussing with it too much. I put plants in the garden which thrive in our local conditions, and which require little intervention from me. I don't want to be using fertilisers or pesticides or fussing too much with water and pruning. It's the same with my incense. I want the incense to look after me and bring me joy rather than stress. As such I can't see me using these resin cups too often. I'll keep an open mind, and am willing to try a couple more, but I'm not going to be seeking them out.

Ansaam Incenses Galaxy Sticks Scents of Alandalos

  

These incense sticks by Ansaam Incenses of Egypt are over a foot long, and half an inch thick. They burn for up to 5 hours. While in Cairo visiting one of my daughters who taught there, I bought some Ansaam incenses from a stall in Khan el-Khalili. I didn't buy the long ones, as I thought they might be difficult to transport back, and also I was unsure if I'd like the incenses. As it turned out, I loved them. In looking on the internet for more information about the Ansaam incense house (it appears to have been formed in 2019, but I have very little other information, and they have not responded to my emails), I found someone on Etsy who was selling the long sticks for £8 each - which is a very reasonable price for the size and quality of the incense, and the difficulty of buying them in this country. I have noted that since my initial review in April last year (2024), a number of other sellers have popped up on Etsy, Amazon, and eBay at varying prices. They are sold for more reasonable prices from most UK sellers than some American, so it's worth shopping round.  Of course the cheapest is in Cairo, but first you have to fly out there!  

I bought mine from the Etsy seller, Kim of PsychicsNStuff - the name has now changed to IncenseLounge, though the price remains the same - £8.00. Good value. There is a load of useful information on the pack. It tells me the production date (Jan 2023), and the shelf life (five years - this is low compared to traditional masala incense where the fragrance is folded into the paste; I assume it is because the scent has been applied after the paste has been extruded onto the stick). It also tells me the ingredients: Agarwood, Fragrance, and Natural Fixatives.  The fragrance is made by Maomen, based in Port Said. Both companies formed at the same time, and are based in the same place, so it looks like Ansaam Incenses is the incense brand of Maomen.  

There is an Arabian oudh quality to the scent on the stick - warm, friendly, sweet, musky. Woods and florals - mostly rose. A little volatile, but quite acceptable. The scent on the burn is surprisingly mild. It generates, as expected, a generous amount of smoke, but it's not as dense or obtrusive as I expected. I started in the outhouse, and each time I went out there I was impressed by how pleasant it smelled, without being overwhelmed by a too heady scent or too much smoke. I brought the huge stick indoors, and smudged the house for a bit. And that has been very effective - the scent remaining in the rooms for hours afterwards.  Then I settled down with the stick in our middle room which is my office. It is a delightfully mild incense for such a monster. I burned it for around an hour (a roughly average time for a decent quality Indian stick), and found it informed the room rather than dominated. The fragrance on the burn largely matched that on the stick - mostly a pleasant oudh and rose and lemon scent. It is a bit perfumed - I would have liked some earthy touches and perhaps some resin, but nevertheless, it is a highly attractive accord. 

   

There is a useful scent pyramid on the box for those who like some guidance on what to look out for. I find such information interesting to look at after I've reviewed an incense. Same as I like to read other reviews after I have done my review. I tend to prefer not to look at such things first because I like to have my own personal experience, and not to be too directed. Looking at the pyramid I feel that it by and large matches my own experience.  

I really liked this. I like the fragrance, I like the vibe, I like that it is made in Egypt where our oldest knowledge about incense comes from, and I like the information on the box. My quibble is that the full size Galaxy sticks are rather too large for convenience. Storing the box is awkward, and the sticks may get damaged. I prefer to stick with the normal sized sticks.

Ansaam Incenses of Egypt

Ansaam Incenses of Egypt

 

Ansaam Incenses, who make a variety of incense, including sticks over a foot long that burn for five hours, launched in 2019.  Ansaam Incenses is the incense brand name for Moamen Fragrances in Port Said, which was also founded in 2019.   

The Port Said home of Ansaam Incenses

I came upon them in 2024 while visiting one of my daughters who was teaching in Cairo. We visited Khan el-Khalili, the touristy shopping area - not quite a souk, more like The Lanes in Brighton. It was Ramadan, and we were leaving as Iftar was approaching - most shops were closing, and people were gathering at tables to break their fast. I then spotted some incense on a stall outside a shop. Conscious that this was not really the time to be trading, I was still curious to see if any of the incense was made in Egypt. Unfortunately the stall holder descended on me and began thrusting various bits of incense at me. It was difficult to focus, but I managed to establish (despite his insistence that all his incense was Egyptian) that most of his incense was made in India (there was Tulasi among others on his stall). But I did notice the galaxy sticks - the foot long sticks that burn for over 5 hours. Way too large for me. But I found two packs of mini galaxy sticks - still rather large and daunting, with a burning time of 3 hours, but more manageable. I would have liked to explore further, but we had to move on. 

I have become aware, since posting my first review in April 2024, that some people have started to import the sticks into both the UK and USA, so they are available on Etsy, Amazon, eBay, DesertCart, at fairly reasonable prices for the size. Cheaper in Cairo, obviously, but first you have to get there!

Xiang Lian Ao Zhou Tan Xiang (Australian Sandalwood)

 

Gentle, attractive, mildly peppery, slightly plain sandalwood scent. Leaves a modest though pleasant citrus tinged woody scent in the room. It's all quite acceptable, albeit rather soft and simple. This presents more as the wood rather than the oil - the ingredients are "Australian sandalwood powder, sticky powder", so it is likely to be the wood that is left after the oil has been extracted - which still contains enough fragrance to be commonly used in incense. Serves as a modest room warmer, and as a gentle unobtrusive background scent. 

Available as part of a set of 11 fragrances from Amazon, Temu, and Shein, for around £8. Or by itself from DylansDen for £2.
