I have loved incense for years, always trying different scents and finally settled on a favorite which happens to be Nag Champa! I burn a tremendous amount daily, it's like a little piece of heaven to me. I find it calming, peaceful, mind clearing and just all things good! My husband made me extremely happy on Christmas morning because he bought me a enormous supply that 'should' last for awhile. AWESOME!
When I was hardcore into incenses around 2009-11, there was a huge controversy about Satya Sai Baba Nag Champa. Around that time, the resin halmaddi (which is in a lot of champa agarbattis) was getting harder to source, and every incense reviewer and blogger could swear that Satya removed it from their Nag Champa and it "smelled different." I couldn't tell until I got a new box in 2011....and yeah, it smelled different than my previous box. The thick, fluffy creaminess was gone, replaced by a stronger perfumey smell. But it was a thinner fragrance overall, and smokier. The stick itself was also thinner. This set off what I can only describe as a "mad dash" for halmaddi-based incenses. Looking back at this years later, I can only laugh, because it was hilarious. Finding an incense that used halmaddi was like a treasure, and it spread in the community like wildfire. "Shanthimalai has it!" "Nikhil Ananda Flora has it!" "Dhuni has it!" "Divine Flora has it!"....etc. But at the same time, people grumbled because while all these sticks smelled good, they weren't "the same" as the Satya brand, which was a classic since the 60's. From the boxes you showed, it looks like the Satya brand has expanded its line, because I haven't heard of several of those. And since you said it smells good, I guess they're using halmaddi again. Because my last box from 7 years ago did NOT smell good. Hari Darshan! Yes, they make good stuff. I had a few of theirs I believe. That stick you have there is massive, larger than the Sai Flora sticks that smoked like a smokestack. You need a large area for that...a large house, like you said, or outdoors. Rolled masala sticks and durbar sticks are all I looked for when I was buying Indian incense. I generally hated the dipped, lower-quality charcoal ones. The durbar sticks were the treasures. If you were able to find ones that were so gummy they stuck together, you knew you were in for a treat. One maker I'd suggest checking out (and there are many, as you say) is N. Ranga Rao. Cycle Brand is their lower end, but N. Ranga Rao is the higher end, and I remember loving their "Yatra" incense. Ditto for Balaji. Balaji has some scent bombs if you look. I wish I could remember the name of some other makers...there are so many out of South India, as you and I discussed before. And if the material shortage of 2011-ish has resolved, I'm guessing the quality has shot up several notches. Wonderful discussion in this video....thanks :)
YOU ARE BANG ON SIR about the Nagchampa! The new Nagchampa however far it is, gives me a uneasy feeling. will try the other names that you mentioned. thanks!
Satya Nag Champa is being made by 2 companies. 1 in Mumbai and 1 in Bangaluru. The Mumbai factory makes the new version of nag champa and the Bengaluru factory produces the original nag champa and super hit as well. They are not the same incense at all. Information about Satya splitting apart and the differences between the 2 companies products can be found all over the internet.
@@nikhilsfrags sadly to say your box is one from Mumbai. You see, Satya used to be run by the father of Satya, he passed away and left the company for the 2 brothers. The 2 brothers had trouble staying together in the company so the company was split in 2. One brother took all the distributors and went to Mumbai and the other brother kept all the incense recipes in Bengaluru. The original Satya comes from Shrinivas Sugandhalaya (BNG) LLP and have registration and copywright symbols next to the names and logos. Also the original carries a "green earth" symbol and has 3 color toned seals on the ends of the box, not 2 colors like the Mumbai version. It really is too bad, the original Nag Champa and Superhit were very good incense before Mumbai went and ruined everything. There are a few more pending legal battles between the 2 companies as they are still fighting. Myself I'd rather have nothing to do with the Mumbai Satya incense as it smells cheap and fake compared to the real Satya incense from Bengaluru.
@@matthewlaporte6065 You should make an exception and try a pack of Nagarj Setty's (Mumbai) 'Golden Era', they're the closest I've found to the original Nag Champa yet. I'm an old fart, trust me. I totally agree with your comments about the split, and the rash of bad incense that came out of the Mumbai plant that damaged the Satya brand. Nagarj Setty has moved forward a lot since then and now makes some very good incense, nothing like the junk that he flooded the market with originally. The two halves of the company now have separate logo's since 2017. I won't buy any Satya incense without one of the new logo's for ID, the old logo stuff is a game of chance. ATB.
@@chrisdado Thanks for the feedback. I have tried golden era but did not like it as I found it smelled of burning recycled paper and other refuse. From what you say I'm thinking it may have been some old stock. Where I live there are many shops who sell satya but it's all from Mumbai and I'm sure there are warehouses full of it waiting to go on shelves. It may be several years before we see any new batches around here. In the meantime, a representative from Shrinivas Sugandhalaya ( BNG ) LLP has offered to send me some proper Nag Champa and Super hit. The first Nag Champa I ever smelled was over 20 years ago, I want THAT incense.... or whatever comes close I guess.
@@matthewlaporte6065 Definitely sounds like old stock Matthew, warehouses are still full of Nagarj's old junk. Congrat's on getting a Balkrishna rep' to sort you out, hopefully its something different than the standard Balkrishna's Nag Champa (still better than Nagarj's early efforts, but not the original of 20 years ago). You might be lucky and get a sample of something they've got in the pipeline for future release. Keep us posted. ATB.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nag Champa from India is absolutely, the Best incense made anywhere in the world!! From their visual examination to finally the burn, there ARE NO other incense made with the same fragrances or high quality as you'd find with incense made here. They burn long and clean and the variety is incredible. I loved coming across this video today, because I am a longtime, satisfied customer and am always happy to share a review. Lots of Love, Respect and Appreciation👏👏👏
I bought an incense stick in 1997 in Almaty Kazakhstan from a Hare Krishna devotee near a mall which I clearly remember. I searched through out my life for that stick untill I stumbled upon your video and found it to be nag champa. Thanks buddy for eventually ending my search.
harder to find Hari Darshan in the US. Just bought a 30gram box of Devghandh on eBay to try out. I love Satya brand and been using it going on 25+ years now. especially nag champa. Always reupping a 250gram box all the time. No matter how high or low I was in life, I could always afford a box of nag champa to lift my spirit.
Great review!! I’m so glad to see you reviewing incense as well. I have been burning incense since the early 90’s and nothing can compare in the incense world to the hand crafted incense of India using only the finest natural ingredients. I have to agree with the others that Nag Champa is not the same today as it was. Something changed. I have always preferred incense over perfume as there is a complexity in the ingredients and the smoke that is not present in most perfume. I don’t have a refined sense of smell by any means but I know quality when I smell it. I would like to thank you for your videos as i stumbled across them in my search for a fragrance more akin to incense. I’m quite sure I would enjoy many of the niche perfumes but I just can’t afford them. You’re recommendations on some of the affordable traditional Indian attars were spot on! I ordered a few and WoW that is what I was searching for. It’s funny that you did an incense video because after smelling the attars I was going to reach out to you to see if you could make any recommendations as to something similar to my 2 favorite incenses. I had in the past thought, I wish there was a perfumer that I could send these to and somehow recreate a liquid version. They are getting more difficult to locate so if you have any recommendations I would be extremely grateful. If you can’t find one or both I’m willing to share some with you. Both are from the Satya brand, but for some reason no one speaks of them. The first one is Masala T.T. Loban and the second one is Rajdhani . Also for your information if you are not aware the dragons blood resin when burned puts out a lovely aroma. The dragons blood incense is not even close to the actual resin. Sorry for the long post but I have one last recommendation. There is an incense from Senegal Africa that’s worthwhile to check into. It has several spellings Tchouraï, Thiouraye, Chouraye , or Churai. Thank you again! Bryan
Hi Nickil really nice video I am definitely an incense hoarder I knew about the Nag Champa the basic one so now I'm going to look for the other two hopefully I'll find them in Paris or or I'll have to wait until my next trip to India. Cheers
Guys ,, definitely hari darshan ishwara is worth buying 8 thick sticks for INR 240. Its devine. When i opened the box , the whole room filled with fragrance.
In Australia I remember as a kid stored and gypsy or hippy Type shops selling insense sticks. It is something here associated with hippies. In India it’s cultural.
I appreciate that you made this video :) was nice to see how happy you are with the incense. Really interesting to hear a little about your culture too ♡
Nothing can compare to just a pure wood stick of Palo Santo though, it has an effect of ecstacy and peaceful bliss and aids relaxation and visions and meditation... And restful sleep... After a long day... Thanx for your time to plant the roots of ritual among utubers. 🗿💖
Nikhilbhai, one more strange thing I came to know about Nag Champa. Few years back this company was splited between two brothers. Both are using more or less same packing and same name like Shrinivas Sugandhalaya (BNG) LLP and Shrinivas Sugandhalaya LLP. What I came to know from my friends is the one from Bangalore is more close to what it used to be earlier. The one from Mumbai have started using cheap materials and the quality is not that good as the other one also they have started using machines and those are not hand rolled. The best way to identify is on the single pack if you see two address, one from Mumbai and one from Bangalore is the one which is low in quality. The one with only Bangalore address should be the good one. Having said that before commenting on this I tried to contact the company in Bangalore, the owner is not in India at the moment but he will be back by the end of this month. Also I asked them if they are selling products on Amazon or not and they said that we are selling but at the moment due to some problems all our products are not visible at all. This is the link of that Bangalore based company. satyaincense.in/Nagachampa_detail.htm. If any one has more specific information about this please share. And Nikhilbhai if this information is true that in future one review of comparison of both will be much appreciated.
It's on any packaging. If the word Mumbai is on the packaging anywhere then it is not the one that's made at the ORIGINAL plant. And for those of you reading this right now that have no idea what the hell I'm talking about... If the word Mumbai is on the packaging anywhere it's not the original and trust me there are substantial differences. You will only see a Bengaluru address. Nothing else. And that is not just for the nag Champa there are several that both plants manufacture. The original is hands down the ABSOLUTE BEST.
My favourite is Nag Shampa, and patchouli is my second favourite, when I have negative energy in my home I light up at least 2 sticks of dragons blood and I light up some real white sage and some San Paulo. Thank you, namaste.
I had a question about Hem incense sticks? are the Hem white sage incense sticks actually white sage or is it just an artificial imitation of white sage? And that goes for other types of hem sticks? Thank you!
I recommend Green hojari frankincense resin and Prinknash Abbey incense resins, Copal Blanco mexican resin. Not incense sticks but amazing incense. There's also a tree fungus called diamond willow fungus that smells incredible (its and native indian medicine) but i also burn it as incense and room clearing.
@@nikhilsfrags bhai recently bought some incense..though m not insense guy..bcoz of smoke... Bought Hari Darshan DEV GANDH..I liked it alot..also tried..SAI FLORA.. doesn't smell wow but liked it bcoz..its smoke is bearable(may be bcoz of natural material).. Just request you bhai..do make more videos on it..heard lot about HEM brand(foreign reviews) They have different line for india and outside india..did saw some bakhoor..mukhallat based incense in this brand. My next purchase would be HD DEV CHAMPA 👍
yes.. chandan is absolutely best in incense as oud is best attar(still exploring).. but i also bought vasu shiva from cycle and they are also marvellous.. no artificial smell little mild.. i am confused at what its fragrance smells like..but its marvellous..will your suggestions..
I called to satya strust for purchase nagchampa incense . But they tell me that we are not sell this product in India . I told them some website selling this product online they replies it is not our product. Please tell me where to buy this agarbatti
Hi again Nickil, I would love to know what skincare you use? You just don't get any older looking! In fact you get younger looking, not fair! Please let us know how you do it? Look yourself and you will see on the older videos how much younger you look now on the video from just last week. Amazing!!!
I'll have to get hold of those thick ones. Thanks for sharing. Try them on your temperature adjustable burner without the stick. They smell even better and last longer. I've been doing it with KZ, and other incenses. Few weeks ago I even put some innards of deer musk pod. 😙😁
I would love if you would review our incense sticks. We hand dip and disk the sticks for 24-48 hours so that the sticks are full absorbed. The raw stick comes from India. How can I send you some of our samples? Would love your honest review. We want to really make a high quality and affordable Insence stick.
Hi Hari Darshan IShwara is not available online on their own website as well as on Amazon etc. Can anyone guide me from where I can purchase Hari Darshan IShwara. For reference I am from NaviMumbai
Not pertaining to incense though... I visited the Ajmal store in New Delhi and purchased some of your recommendations. I love the fragrance of Wisal...it's amazing. Dhahab was a bit too strong for me. Also purchased misk roujali. Another wonderful buy. Thanks alottt. In addition, I also bought raindrops, musk rose and carbon and titanium. Would love to know your views on these. Along with aurum. Please. Btw, they told me that Silver shade has been discontinued. 😒
I dont have any breathing problems, but when i burn some incense stick my head starts hurting and it makes me uncomfortable. Please tell me a good incense stick that wont do this. Btw..i love your vidoes🌹👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I just got back into incense again, and someone said I should check you out. I've been watching your reviews for a while but didn't see any incense reviews. I'm a fragrance reviewer also, and I'm going to start doing incense reviews also. I just got Nippon Kodo Aloeswood/Agarwood incense from Japan that I'm going to review. Have you ever experienced this one?
Sir can you tell me about padmini classic dhoop sticks? I really like the smell. What is the name of that smell or can you explain what type of fragerence it is? I have tried to research online but I didn't find the name of its fragerence.
Also bro I wanted to get SANDALIA MUMTAZ attar from Ajmal and sons but those fellas are selling 10 bottles together. I need only one bottle ( my intention is to get an oil or whatever which is closest to sandalwood).. Do u know any other sellars?
In my house I use Amber kasturi from the house of Vitthaldas narayandas Sugandhi from Maharashtra। This dhoop is used in Belur math Ramkrishna mission in West Bengal। Please do try this at your home।
Hi Nikhil you are doing great job bro, thanks a ton from me for your guidance,I am an attar lover and you are doing alot for us,I got hari darshan Dev champ today,it is absolutely fabulous,I was searching for good incenses and I think I got one. One question to you, which one is better devchampa or satya Sai nag Champa??
Sir please try "PHOOL" oudh incense sticks from kanpur flowercycling Ltd. Please tell me how it smells is it really oudh like or something different. I have tried this incense But since I haven't smelt real dehnal oudh so iam not aware of how oudh should smell in person.
Great video! Good advice as well, out of curiosity what's the lifespan of insence, like before burning I mean shelf life, as if I bought a good amount to last how long does still hold the fragrance? Thank's!
Thank you so much sir for doing this video !!! Needed this one !!! Woww !! Just finished watching the video and this is my favourite video ! Sir one request if possible can you do review on Indian "Dhoop" ? We basically use the local Dhoop but it hardly has any smell, just burning charcoal.. So if you can get a hand on south indian Dhoop , it would be great help Thanks !
Hey! Hope you are doing well.. I want some natural attar, perfume ..plz tell me where can I find these. Coz I search it but I didn't get the right gideness.. please help me.. thankx...
@@nikhilsfrags bhai saw 1 more things in this video the mumbai address which is written on Dev champa is really close to my home. well amazing thanks for the video once again
Not only are the products not available but there are some negative reviews as well? its either because people are not familiar with agar wood or similar scents, or it could be that these are not real hand rolled incense sticks?
Excellent topic Nikhil, as I grew up with incense sticks from my childhood. Coincidentally enough, I have a few varieties from Hari Darshan on the way, so I am really looking forward to trying them, as this will be my first experience with them. I have heard some controversial issues surrounding Satya and degrading quality, so I never gave them a shot. I would also kindly warn people drawn to the most popular brands like HEM, which is front and center when most people search incense sticks, as they are poor quality and highly synthetic. People should also look to burning actual resins - they are absolutely amazing (and of course 100% natural, so you don't have to worry about issues such as harsh perfume chemicals being spiked in most common incense sticks). Green hojari frankincense from Oman, Yemeni myrrh, etc....absolute stunners, esp when burned in non-charcoal burners to not detract from the purity with the heavy smoke.
I have loved incense for years, always trying different scents and finally settled on a favorite which happens to be Nag Champa! I burn a tremendous amount daily, it's like a little piece of heaven to me. I find it calming, peaceful, mind clearing and just all things good! My husband made me extremely happy on Christmas morning because he bought me a enormous supply that 'should' last for awhile. AWESOME!

Yatra is lovely !
I've mixed them up. Yatra is Perimal. Yagna is N. Ranga Rao. Both are lovely. It's been a long time and the names are jumbled in my head :)

Thank you
Hi what do you say about 2 most popular agarbattis from the house of Cycle.
WOODS and SANDALUM??
Where to buy these amazing incenses you showed? I Googled but did not find it available in the USA.
Nikhilbhai, one more strange thing I came to know about Nag Champa. Few years back this company was splited between two brothers. Both are using more or less same packing and same name like Shrinivas Sugandhalaya (BNG) LLP and Shrinivas Sugandhalaya LLP. What I came to know from my friends is the one from Bangalore is more close to what it used to be earlier.

You will only see a Bengaluru address. Nothing else. And that is not just for the nag Champa there are several that both plants manufacture.
The original is hands down the ABSOLUTE BEST.
My favourite is Nag Shampa, and patchouli is my second favourite, when I have negative energy in my home I light up at least 2 sticks of dragons blood and I light up some real white sage and some San Paulo. Thank you, namaste.
Nikhil you always publish your videos when I am about to sleep 😴
But the content is fantastic, loved it
I had a question about Hem incense sticks? are the Hem white sage incense sticks actually white sage or is it just an artificial imitation of white sage? And that goes for other types of hem sticks? Thank you!
Sir agarbatti ko manane ke liye kaun kaun se App se mangwa Nava
Sir please tell me.. Which incense used in Iskon temple?
Satya Sao baba patchouli forest is nice too. Love the Nag too
Thanks - Enjoy !!
Hari Darshan long stick mangana Hai kaun se App se koi online app ho to bata do Sar Usi se mangana hai
How are the new batches of Satya “Oodh” and “Nag Champa” compared to their older incense?
Thank you Nikhil bhi Do you used for worship and blessing? and why?
I recommend Green hojari frankincense resin and Prinknash Abbey incense resins, Copal Blanco mexican resin. Not incense sticks but amazing incense. There's also a tree fungus called diamond willow fungus that smells incredible (its and native indian medicine) but i also burn it as incense and room clearing.
Sold a ton of Nag Champa back in the day, beautifully fragrant and totally toxic....but that's another issue nobody talks about with incense.
Beautiful video. Will try out some of these soon. Really love your work. Keep up the good work Nikhil. Much love from NZ.
Man I miss your videos in English. I admire your intellect and knowledge as well as your tastes.
The Video as well the comments section is amazing.
I love the Satya Range however its very tough to get the original SatyaNatural Incense Sticks.
Hello sir, please review Vedika chandan incense sticks and chandan roll on(attar),it is superb,so calming

Well done video I feel. To the point and I like your passion in your explanations.

@@nikhilsfrags bhai recently bought some incense..though m not insense guy..bcoz of smoke...
Bought Hari Darshan DEV GANDH..I liked it alot..also tried..SAI FLORA.. doesn't smell wow but liked it bcoz..its smoke is bearable(may be bcoz of natural material)..
Just request you bhai..do make more videos on it..heard lot about HEM brand(foreign reviews) They have different line for india and outside india..did saw some bakhoor..mukhallat based incense in this brand.
My next purchase would be HD DEV CHAMPA 👍
i have been burning dhoop from hari darshan..but didnt know it also makes incense.. thank u..
yes.. chandan is absolutely best in incense as oud is best attar(still exploring).. but i also bought vasu shiva from cycle and they are also marvellous.. no artificial smell little mild.. i am confused at what its fragrance smells like..but its marvellous..will your suggestions..
Ahh ! was waiting for this !!
Really had to find a nice incense stand for burning those foot long sticks, any suggestions bhai?
Thank you for sharing this. I have been looking for some new incense brands to try and this was interesting and informative
Guruji kya Bakhoor and dakhoons expire hotye hai agar acchye se band karkye cupboard andar long time rakhye toh?
Hi how often do you burn incense in your home and what is your favorite?
The first one you showed which looks and sounds great is sold out everywhere. Hari Darshan Devchampa Agarbatti . Sob.
When I buy the Gonesh Nag Champa it always smells amazing. But getting the blue Xbox sataya ones now smells burnt. Anyone experience that???
I called to satya strust for purchase nagchampa incense .
But they tell me that we are not sell this product in India . I told them some website selling this product online they replies it is not our product.
Please tell me where to buy this agarbatti
Where to bye nagchampa please tell me.
Hand rolled nag champa like hashish is my fave
Thanks for the video, was looking for natural incenses. Will definitely try these brands.
Wow! and why is this video not on Perfume Guru may i ask ? I have been skimming the internet and your hindi channel for this video ...
You are brilliant doctor
You have changed my perspective regards incense sticks
You are such an amazing person please don't Stop....... Nikhil sahab
Thank you so much Nikhil brother for this wonderful video🙏
Thank you so much for taking up this subject.... truly devine.
Really interesting video. Thank you so much for the good explanations about kinds, quality, etc.
Best regards, Lior
Where do we buy haridarshan in australia?
Can you do a review on Tulasi brand of incense sticks ? Im using them right now
Amazing much needed and something different videos about agarbatti which are indian and easily available for indians
Hi again Nickil, I would love to know what skincare you use? You just don't get any older looking! In fact you get younger looking, not fair! Please let us know how you do it? Look yourself and you will see on the older videos how much younger you look now on the video from just last week. Amazing!!!
Love incense but I always seem to buy the ones that dont have any long lasting fragrance going to try the ones you recommended in your vlog
I'll have to get hold of those thick ones. Thanks for sharing.
Try them on your temperature adjustable burner without the stick. They smell even better and last longer. I've been doing it with KZ, and other incenses. Few weeks ago I even put some innards of deer musk pod. 😙😁
I would love if you would review our incense sticks. We hand dip and disk the sticks for 24-48 hours so that the sticks are full absorbed. The raw stick comes from India. How can I send you some of our samples? Would love your honest review. We want to really make a high quality and affordable Insence stick.
Hi Hari Darshan IShwara is not available online on their own website as well as on Amazon etc. Can anyone guide me from where I can purchase Hari Darshan IShwara. For reference I am from NaviMumbai
I love incense. One of my favourites is Nag Champa gold
आप अगरबत्ती और धूपबत्ती पर भी और वीडियोस बनाएं आप बहुत अच्छे वीडियोस बनाते हैं उसमें बहुत अच्छी जानकारी होती है धन्यवाद
Which is best sandalwood agarbatti

Not pertaining to incense though... I visited the Ajmal store in New Delhi and purchased some of your recommendations. I love the fragrance of Wisal...it's amazing. Dhahab was a bit too strong for me. Also purchased misk roujali. Another wonderful buy. Thanks alottt. In addition, I also bought raindrops, musk rose and carbon and titanium. Would love to know your views on these. Along with aurum. Please. Btw, they told me that Silver shade has been discontinued. 😒
Aurum is the best one,u apply it ...U sure to be greeted and enquired by people
I dont have any breathing problems, but when i burn some incense stick my head starts hurting and it makes me uncomfortable. Please tell me a good incense stick that wont do this. Btw..i love your vidoes🌹👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hari Darshan long Agarbatti Long stk Agarbatti mangana hai kaise Aaegi
Men from the Eastern side of the world are so handsome 😍 Your ladies are luck to have y'all. Smart, Innovative and Handsome 😍 Hehe
I just got back into incense again, and someone said I should check you out. I've been watching your reviews for a while but didn't see any incense reviews. I'm a fragrance reviewer also, and I'm going to start doing incense reviews also. I just got Nippon Kodo Aloeswood/Agarwood incense from Japan that I'm going to review. Have you ever experienced this one?
i buy nag champa but no fragnance can u tell me how to buy orignal may v i buy fake product
Sir can you tell me about padmini classic dhoop sticks?
I really like the smell.
What is the name of that smell or can you explain what type of fragerence it is?
I have tried to research online but I didn't find the name of its fragerence.
Hi, Nikhil Bhai
How to make incense at home and ingredients plz make a video
Thanks Amazing amazing... Love such new things you come up with. Keep it up bro.
I always like your video before watching...always so awesome content. Thanks
Bro pls tell me the clone for pikovaya dama. They are saying that queen of spades by dua is the clone but it's feminine..
Also bro I wanted to get SANDALIA MUMTAZ attar from Ajmal and sons but those fellas are selling 10 bottles together. I need only one bottle ( my intention is to get an oil or whatever which is closest to sandalwood)..
Do u know any other sellars?
In my house I use Amber kasturi from the house of Vitthaldas narayandas Sugandhi from Maharashtra। This dhoop is used in Belur math Ramkrishna mission in West Bengal। Please do try this at your home।
Hi Nikhil you are doing great job bro, thanks a ton from me for your guidance,I am an attar lover and you are doing alot for us,I got hari darshan Dev champ today,it is absolutely fabulous,I was searching for good incenses and I think I got one. One question to you, which one is better devchampa or satya Sai nag Champa??
Sir please try "PHOOL" oudh incense sticks from kanpur flowercycling Ltd.
Please tell me how it smells is it really oudh like or something different.
I have tried this incense
But since I haven't smelt real dehnal oudh so iam not aware of how oudh should smell in person.
Where can i buy these incenses in mumbai..
Great video! Good advice as well, out of curiosity what's the lifespan of insence, like before burning I mean shelf life, as if I bought a good amount to last how long does still hold the fragrance? Thank's!
@@nikhilsfrags Nice to know Thank you!
Thank you so much sir for doing this video !!!
Needed this one !!!
Woww !! Just finished watching the video and this is my favourite video !
Sir one request if possible can you do review on Indian "Dhoop" ?
We basically use the local Dhoop but it hardly has any smell, just burning charcoal..
So if you can get a hand on south indian Dhoop , it would be great help
Thanks !
Hey! Hope you are doing well.. I want some natural attar, perfume ..plz tell me where can I find these. Coz I search it but I didn't get the right gideness.. please help me.. thankx...
Super Hit is bomb! Reminds me of decades past.
Very good nice video bhai very informative aapke collection mei MDH mei dekha tha.
@@nikhilsfrags bhai saw 1 more things in this video the mumbai address which is written on Dev champa is really close to my home. well amazing thanks for the video once again
Not only are the products not available but there are some negative reviews as well? its either because people are not familiar with agar wood or similar scents, or it could be that these are not real hand rolled incense sticks?
From were intence sticks need to buy
Have you talked about Amber on your channel yet? I couldn't find a specific video. I'm curious about it because it's really a delicious scent!
India makes the best incense. 💜💜💜
İs charu (blue bird) good?
Pls confirm good fragrance agarbati
हरी दर्शन अगरबती को ऑनलाइन कैसे खरीद सकते है
Thank you, great video, amazing background music 🙏🏻
I am looking for incense which smells cool fresh
aqua since a year... If u get it please make video
Excellent topic Nikhil, as I grew up with incense sticks from my childhood. Coincidentally enough, I have a few varieties from Hari Darshan on the way, so I am really looking forward to trying them, as this will be my first experience with them. I have heard some controversial issues surrounding Satya and degrading quality, so I never gave them a shot. I would also kindly warn people drawn to the most popular brands like HEM, which is front and center when most people search incense sticks, as they are poor quality and highly synthetic.
People should also look to burning actual resins - they are absolutely amazing (and of course 100% natural, so you don't have to worry about issues such as harsh perfume chemicals being spiked in most common incense sticks). Green hojari frankincense from Oman, Yemeni myrrh, etc....absolute stunners, esp when burned in non-charcoal burners to not detract from the purity with the heavy smoke.
