AuroshikhaIncense, Vanilla, 10 Gram

Creates a lot of smoke and doesn't have the best smell while burning but it's ok afterwards

Smells more like something burning, not sweet vanilla. Also for incense, it kinda burns super fast. Bought as add on at least

So this is a little bit mixed for me... I personally like it, the smoke that is produced is very fine too, actually left a nice wispy layer of smoke at the 5 foot mark in my house that I could see in the sunlight, it was super cool. My mother however thought that the incense burning made her dizzy, possibly because she is older or not used to incense burning is most probably the culprit (she was ok with the scent when it wasn't burning though). Still I'd recommend these, the sticks are a tiny bit shorter than the sticks they sell locally, but the quality is high and the smoke is fine which makes up for it.

I have been buying incense by Auroshikha for years from Wholefoods NY and have loved their delicate and pure fragrances. When I found the brand at Amazon I quickly ordered my favorite incense. I was a little surprised at the packaging which was different from the one I had been buying regularly but as it was the same brand I bought them nevertheless. Much to my dismay, I found these fragrances to be absolutely foul. I am originally from India and hence have had the good fortune to have sampled many different varieties of incense sticks as well as original oils and fragrances from various herbs, woods, etc. These are really terrible, the sensual fragrances have been reduced to smells that are irritating and have nothing to do with the original essences. Sandalwood, Vanilla and Orange blossom have been reduced to smelling like ash and old wood and I am probably going to compost them. At least they will be of some use! Infact I am shocked that these should even be sold under this brand name that I have trusted and bought for years.

I loved them

The way this incense smells is heavenly. It's rich, has tonality and burns cleanly. Like other incenses made by Auroshikha, this incense contains no glue or charcoal, and the scents are fully real (no synthetic phony perfumes added like cheap incenses.)The vanilla "true to nature" incense from Auroshikha is just divine, the smell is so sweet, lingers around for a while, and helps create a pleasant setting. (I use it for enhancing the sensuous qualities of a room, or for celebrating special days, or when preparing sweets in the kitchen).Simply, a must-buy :)! This is what people should be burning instead of the acrid synthetic "glade" or febreeze. It's also so visually engaging and pleasant to have around, lit next to a candle, in the bathroom, or wherever, always uplifts me.5/5 stars

Heavy chemical smell.

Smells great! Good product for the price
