Author: Incense from India

A light, fresh, sweet aroma with a warm, softy musky undertone.

MUSK falls under the rulership of the sun and the burning of this incense exudes a powerful, expressive fragrance. The vibrations of musk are very physical and is commonly associated with sexual arousal. As an aid for the very timid and shy, musk acts as a stimulant to the psychic body which assists in the development of will power and determination.

CHARCOAL is integral in the manufacturing of an unscented blank (non-perfumed stick) which is then dipped into a mixture of perfumes and/or oils.

These blanks usually contain "spent" sandalwood powder, a binding sticky resin that hold the sticks coating together, wood charcoal and sometimes other substances.

Most charcoal incenses are black or near black in color, and are distinctive because they are rich in aromatic perfumes.

Indian charcoal sticks contrast from the "punks" in that they are dipped in superior perfumes, and burn smoothly without producing irritating smokey by-products.
