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 a calming, cooling effect. To this, earthy, spicy patchouli has been added. It has for lack of a better word, an older fragrance that makes one think of antique or curio shops. Satya 60’s Patchouli has developed quite a following. It’s not unusual for one purchase to be a dozen or more packs. It’s too bad it doesn’t come in larger packs. We could certainly use them.

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. Like most Satya incenses, it has that semi-sweet amber, vanilla base, but that’s just where the fun begins. We best describe Satya Dragon’s Eye as an emerald green fragrance. It has bright elements of lime, ginger, frankincense, and a note that is similar to white pepper. It seems to have a refreshing quality for the mind.

About Satya Patchouli Forest Incense
We don’t keep it a secret that we are in the camp of patchouli lovers. We are aware that patchouli can be somewhat polarizing. Those that tend to dislike it describe it as smelling like dirt, dirty unwashed bodies, swampy, etc. Those that do like it describe a sweetish, earthy, spicy quality. How can we bridge this gap so that everyone can enjoy? Satya Patchouli Forest does just that. Like most Satya incenses, it has a semi-sweet, amber, vanilla base, but Satya Patchouli Forest is a bit sweeter than the average Satya and it has a very carefully measured, earthy component of dark Indonesian patchouli. It’s such a light element that even those who tend to dislike patchouli can still appreciate this selection. Of Satya’s patchouli incenses, this is certainly the sweetest offering. For something drier, Satya Patchouli would be a thought, or drier still, Satya 60’s Patchouli would be the way to go. As they get drier in fragrance, the more noticeable the patchouli becomes. Satya Patchouli Forest offers a perfectly balanced fragrance that is sweet enough for even those who are not fans of patchouli, but for those that do love patchouli, it’s heavenly.
