Author: Incense from India

This rich aroma finishes into a delicious, light long lasting rose bouquet.

ROSE is ruled by Venus, the planet associated with love. Rose is a very difficult fragrance to produce as it takes a ton of rose petals to produce 300 grams (about 1/2 Ib.) of oil. The fragrance brings about feelings of warmth and affection. Because of that effect, rose fragrance can be useful in relieving anger, grief, or jealousy.

DURBARS (and Champas) are wet-process incenses which frequently contain ingredients entirely unfamiliar in the West.

They are usually very slow burning and quite sweet and spicy in bouquet.

They can amalgamate solid and liquid perfumes in a gummy base which never quite dries, making the sticks themselves soft to the touch. All are rich and highly ragranced.
