Author: Incense from India

A delicate violet balanced with a hint of rose.

VIOLET softens the nature, making it sympathetic and refined. The flower symbolized modesty and is regarded as an attribute of the Goddess of Love. Violet is a occult symbol of twilight.

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.

MASALA is the India word for a blend of spices and or herbs, such as those used in making curries or other food dishes.

Masala incenses are made by blending a number of solid ingredients into a paste which is then rolled onto a bamboo core stick. Masalas usually do not contain liquid perfumes which can evaporate.
