  • About Morning Star Amber Incense

    About Morning Star Amber Incense

    Morning Star incenses are all bout theme and variation. All of them have the same gentle, clean, sandalwood core that is distinctive to the line. Morning Star Amber differs in that it has a soft, semi-sweet addition of amber resin. Amber warms up what would otherwise be a cooling sandalwood. It rounds out the fragrance…

  • About Nikhil’s Ananda Incense

    About Nikhil’s Ananda Incense

    We have been impressed with the offerings from Nikhil. Sometimes it’s known as Ananda Happiness as its label indicates. We sampled Nikhil’s Ananda and knew right away that we needed to have this item. Nikhil’s Ananda is a lightly sweetened sandalwood, fortified with sandalwood oil. It compares well to incenses considerably more expensive, even more…

  • About Sacred Elements Juniper & White Sage Incense

    About Sacred Elements Juniper & White Sage Incense

    We so far have been impressed with the offerings from Sacred Elements, so it seemed natural to try Sacred Elements Juniper & White Sage, with such a promising title. It’s not every day that we are willing to break out the sage and smudge the place, but it’s fairly frequent that we want or need…

  • Satya 60’s Patchouli Incense

    Satya 60’s Patchouli Incense

    What’s that…another patchouli in the Satya line? Yes, it is, but relax, they’re all so different. Satya 60’s Patchouli is of them all the driest, that is to say the least sweet. That doesn’t mean it’s bitter or smokey, it’s just not that sweet. It has a clean, dry amber core that it’s self has…

  • About Forest Deep Incense

    About Forest Deep Incense

    Every so often, an incense comes along that shows someone willing to take chances and succeeding. Forest Deep is one of those interesting trips in incense land. Strangely dubbed “Pure Sandalwood” in some places, it’s far from being just a sandalwood. Forest Deep is far more interesting than just being a sandalwood incense. It does…

  • About Superb Sandal Incense

    About Superb Sandal Incense

    We probably have dozens of sandalwood incenses, how do we choose which one to write about? It’s not just a random decision, we chose Superb Sandal because it’s one of our favorites, and we hope it can become on of yours as well. It’s made by Haridus Madhavdas, the makers of Amethyst, Egyptian, and Green…

  • About Mysore Sugandhi Chandan Dhoop

    About Mysore Sugandhi Chandan Dhoop

    The title alone is quite a mouthful, but once broken down, it’s not so bad. Mysore is a city in southern India, so that’s easy. Sugandhi refers to something fragrant and delightful. Chandan refers to sandalwood. Dhoop are incenses that do not have a bamboo core. Now that the nuts and bolts of the title…

  • About Satya Dragon’s Eye Incense

    About Satya Dragon’s Eye Incense

    We haven’t found fault in the entire Satya line, but we were not in any hurry to add another one so quickly. We received some samples in a parcel and one of them was Satya Dragon’s Eye. We changed our tune quickly and knew we needed to add this selection to our library of incenses.…

  • About Satya Natural Incense

    About Satya Natural Incense

    Having we have been carrying incenses since 1988, we tend to take certain incenses for granted. One such selection is Satya Natural. This is an incense we have had since the early 90s and it’s one such example of an item that we do take for granted. We unfairly assume everyone has tried it at…

  • About Raj Laxmi Incense

    About Raj Laxmi Incense

    There’s always room for another classic champa incense. We don’t keep it a secret that the most well known of champa incenses has changed so very much since the early 90s that we can’t recognize it at all. Some champas haven’t changed, Raj Laxmi Incense is one of them. Just what is a champa, one…
