Mahendra Betco Hanuman

Betco Hanuman incense sticks ("Incense of the Hindu Gods") - £1.45 for 20 from TribesAndVibes.  The incense is made by Mahendra Perfumery Works of Bangalore who were formed in 1921. Betco International is their export division.

It's an attractive and decent quality packet, with information about Hanuman, the Hindu god the incense is named after. The sticks have a pleasantly sweet floral aroma with attractive candy notes, and some soapy spots. The sticks are decently thick, and the charcoal based incense has been hand rolled onto the sticks in a fairly uniform manner. Produces a reasonable amount of pale blue-grey smoke which burns evenly. The aroma softly embraces the room creating an enticing, seductive and invigorating mood. This is a very pleasant and high quality incense. The aroma is sweet with good quality sandalwood base notes overlaid with dark fruits and summer flowers.
