Author: Incense from India

A warm, rich, woody, dry, sweet floral aroma with hints of sandalwood and a lasting bouquet.

SANDALWOOD is considered sacred in India and is extremely popular because of its spiritually uplifting qualities. Sandalwood is ruled by Uranus and is frequently used by individuals desiring to recollect past lifetimes. Moat commonly, the essence is burned during prayer and meditation.

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 fragranced.
