Review on Mysore Sandal Incense: Authentic Indian Aroma - 120 Sticks Total, Six 20 Stick Tubes by Julie Nelson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Surprisingly Good!: Home Decor Products

I think it's cute that even though they name the brand Mysore, the box says the sandalwood is from the REGION where the best sandalwood is grown, but NOT from Mysore. ;) From my research, Mysore sandalwood is heavily controlled and would be very hard to find on the market anyway. However, this incense has a very pleasant, sweet and woody scent. It also doesn't produce the black, acrid smoke that put me off incense a few years ago. The scent lingers for a while even after the incense has burned down. I've never measured the burn time (oops, if I do that later I'll come back to update this) but it's surprisingly long. I usually prefer seedless incense sticks (like the Nippon Kodo Morning Star incense stick series), but this one has become my favourite. FYI, I found the scent quite close to Nippon Kodo's Morning Star Sandalwood Incense. I would definitely try that.
