Incense from India
This patchouli aroma is most noticeable on the unburnt stick. While burning, the combination of ingredients softens the patchouli into a fresh green scent, much like a fine Japanese floral.
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.
COMBINATION incenses are those which we have found to have the qualities of both the Masala and the Charcoal.
It is possible to make a masala incense and then dip it into liquid perfumes, producing a very colorful and rich bouquet.
Or, semi-liquid substances such as resinoids can be added to the masala along with essential oils or liquid aromatics.
These incenses usually have a great deal of depth, and once burned, leave a lingering after fragrance.
