Patchouli Incense Sticks 15g

A spicy and moderately sweet patchouli fragrance with an open and spacious balsamic ambience. It has a deep, earthy quality, reminiscent of damp soil or the scent of a forest floor. This earthiness adds a grounding and natural aspect to the fragrance. Woody undertones also contribute to its complexity along with herbal notes, reminiscent of fresh herbs. Overall it is a warm incense with a musky undertone, adding depth and sensuality to the scent.

One of the best patchouli incenses available today – it is matching patchouli essential oil with immense precision. This incense is supplied by Damodardas Bhagwandas Sugandhi of Pune, India, a 150 years old family business!

Each packet contains 15 grams of a premium quality masala incense with an average burn time of 2 hours per stick. Skilfully created from precious natural resins, essential oils, and absolutes.

Mike from the the Olfactory Rescue Service informs: “The Good Incense Patchouli looks to be fairly close to a dusted charcoal as a style. It would not surprise me at all if this was Madhavadas sourced as there’s a lot of vanilla and sandalwood coming off the burn. Vanilla often seems fairly comfortable next to patchouli for some reason, it’s not a match I’d make on my own, but it often works as it does here. In my recent Asayu review I talked about patchouli variations to hopefully give some idea where I sit with the scent as a whole. The more premium, essential oil heavy sticks with it tend to fatigue me (probably because living in California I used to come across people wearing the oil as an aromatic), so this match-up of a more leaf-oriented scent and the vanilla/sandalwood base fronting an oil that’s a bit greener than your average essential oil is probably a bit closer to my personal preferences. That is, the greener a patchouli is the better. So not only does this hit that spot but it’s also variant from other Indian sticks that are roughly in the same region. The herb will always fall somewhere in the middle for me, I like a good one but I’ll likely come more across it in reviews than looking for it myself if that makes sense.”
