Song of India's Temple Stick Incense Review
On the box it states that the incense "smells just like temples in India." While this reviewer has never been inside a temple in India she found the scent to be unique and relaxing, but she cannot precisely describe the scent.
The instructions state that you can use the box as a sachet of sorts in your car or home for a month or so before opening it and burning the sticks, and they are correct in these directions. The box is very aromatic even before you open it, and placing the packet near a heat source (I used my UPS) or a fan will spread the aroma throughout the room. When you begin burning the incense the aroma is slightly different because you are burning it, but still extremely pleasant. A single stick will burn for approximately 20 minutes and does not release an exorbitant amount of smoke.
This incense has a slight scent of sandalwood with some other smells blended in. The blend is very harmonious and not done in a manner where the inexperienced can determine the individual scents.
The reviewer wishes she could describe the scent but found it impossible to label. However, she found it to be a very relaxing, full scent; one that filled the room but did not overpower. She could smell the incense a full hour after she burned a stick, and could still catch a whiff the next day in the area where she had burned it.
When burned at bedtime the scent relaxes one into a gentle slumber. The reviewer notes that she seems to sleep slightly better when she burns a stick at bedtime when compared to not burning any incense before bed, but is not sure why this is. She gave a few sticks to her sister to try, and her sister noted the same sleep improvement.
If you are interested in a quality hand rolled incense with a full scent that is relaxing but not overpowering, try a packet of Song of India Temple Incense. Place it in your car or your drawers as a sachet before burning a stick or two in your home.

Post a CommentI love the smell of incense! Frank's problems might be helped by some or perhaps 'Good Herb'. Regardless, depending on the incense you can set a mood, influence your appetite or just help yourself to sleep. I love the smells and the meories that often accompany them. Bravo, my girl! Bravo!
I've got enough problems without some incense burning in my drawers.
