Author: Incense from India

Sweet and strong with mild patchouli fragrance; long-lasting after scent.

PATCHOULI is known to be an aphrodisiac with magical powers that is ruled by the sun. Its nature is physical and works to sharpen the wits and bring together thoughts, helping to clarify problems by allowing them to be seen more objectively. The essence has a rejuvenating effect on the body, mind, and spirit.

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.
