I was sent this scent and the swarna champa gaudhoop scent (from the same brand) to test out with my order. Omg I love them both! Firstly, if you want a real ceremonial scent, this brand is it (i can't vouch for the one with the cow on the front since I didn't receive that one to test, but I'm sure it's the same). If you like burning frankincense, myrrh, copal, etc but you don't want to bust out a charcoal disk... look no further. This gives you that and more. The dhoops are by far the thickest I've ever seen, but they are supple. I actually wanted to test some out and i broke off about an inch worth of the stick to see how it smelled when burning. That 1" piece filled my entire downstairs (open concept house) with its fragrance. Very potent! These really don't have a smokey smell which makes me happy. I highly recommend this and the other one i tested (swarna champa). Actually I'm just going to copy paste this review to that scent as well since the same thing applies to both. If it says anything to you, I just receive my last order in the mail yesterday. Of everything I got (9 incense in total, 2 of which were these samples), I only loved 3 incense.. 1 I picked out, and these 2 I received as samples from this brand. 2 others were okay. Wouldn't buy again, but okay. The remaining 4 are going in the trash because they smelled like nothing more than a stale burning stick. Today, I've come back to order more of these and to try the other scent with the cow on the front. So.. they are great! Highly recommend. Also, I love that they are making these to honor and preserve their breed of cow.

The smell is wonderful. These are a gift. I don’t know anything else about them.
