I have both Nag Champa side by side and my nose votes yes for the Mumbai factory, but my nose really likes the Positive Vibes and Super Hit scents from Bengaluru too.
One is Satya Mumbai and one is Satya Bangalore. Neither are fake. The company split into two completely different manufacturers under the same name. Mumbai Satya is far more common in Canada than Bangalore Satya, and Bangalore Satya is far more common in the US. Some Mumbai Satya scents with the same name are superior and some Bangalore are superior.
The info in this video is not correct . The are made in Mumbai as well as Bengaluru , both are real and both are brothers . The brothers got into a legal dispute and the judge had them split the company .
Wrong information, Following a dispute, the ShrinivasSugandhalaya brothers split the company in two in 2014. An Indian court awarded both sides the right to use existing names and branding. Production methods and ingredients however may vary. While some of the new products released since the split are unique to each factory, iconic fragrances like NG and Superhit may not be exactly what they used to be. For example, Bangalore still hand rolls, Mumbai now uses machines. Sources of raw materials may have also changed, Shrinivas Sugandhalaya Bangalore, being the original factory who produced all the incense sticks for the partnership is continuing work as it has always been, using the same old methods and same natural ingredients they used since the beginning. Shrinivas Sugandhalaya Mumbai in turn is moving into new technology using machines.
Very good info! Thank you. I’ve noticed the latest box i have here (Mumbai) just doesn’t smell the same as the old school, original Bangalore version. Too perfume heavy and sweet smelling. I need the original!
Has anyone else noticed a change in the Dragons blood? I used to love the 1st dragons blood i bought which was my fave. I bought 1 recently which has the gold seal, old english S, and other signs detailing the packet which shows it's the original banglore 1, but the smell is very different. It's very musky and doesn't have the classic dragons blood scent. I'm quite upset about this. Wondering if they changed it, or maybe mumbai have managed to mimic the packet exactly, and changed the flavour
@@BeyondTheMind007 I did notice something different, and then I paid closer attention to check for any discrepancies between the two boxes and realized that they were two different incenses! The one I always got and loved was Satya Dragon's Blood Incense in a bright red box. The most recent one I got, which smelled 'off' to me was Satya Nag Champa Dragon's Blood Incense in a comparatively duller red box. Both are authentic products, but different fragrances. Hope that helps.
It is, trust me. All you see online are the "fake ones" just because they're cheaper and faster to make in machines. And they are way to cheap. An original Nag Champa goes for more than $15..
@@kimura_b4mv - I've been buying and burning Satya brand Nag Champa for the past 25 years, so I'm pretty confident in identifying the real thing. And the fact of the matter is that buying incense online is a crapshoot, much like buying just about ANYTHING else online. Sometimes you get what you're supposed to be getting, the rest of the time you're getting ripped off. That's why I buy online as little as I possibly can. I like to look at, and most importantly hold and inspect what I'm buying, prior to spending my hard-earned money on it.
Ive got a box of each, the “authentic” stick is much more powdery/crumbly and a more perfumed scent, however the smell doesnt last long after burning. The “fake” stick does definitely smell more woody but isnt as flakey/crumbly. The smell also lasts for much longer after burning. To me both of them smell lovely but in different ways. I guess its down to personal preference and what is available to you in your area.
Just FYI, they are both REAL. It is not like a black market fake, it is just that when the founder died he left the company to his 2 sons, and one of the sons wanted to go the modern way and mass produce the incense instead of using the traditional hand rolled by people, they still use the same (I think) ingredients. The more "modern" ones or as the video states, "fake", is the son that has his company in Mumbai, and the traditional son/brother went to, or stayed in, Bangalore and didnt produce as much as the other brother at the time when the company "split" , by now I think he has nearly caught up or maybe fully caught up with this brother that mass produced the incense his dad created, so you should see a lot of the traditional bangalore satya now. Also, people didn't like the mumbai version because there was.... growing pains, but by now the mumbai version is ALOT better. So, no need to worry yourself, they are no proper "fakes" on the market of satya, its just the brothers split the company in each way and use identical boxes, or nearly identical anyway... hope this helps!!!
the Original (decades ago) was not flowery. It held a woody scent on the high frequency, with a calming Champa scent that hit like- well, sugary grace. :)
@@liquidbrainojust cause it's legal doesn't mean ur allowed to smoke in apartments, hotels, etc... maybe even he lives with roommates or parents, many reasons
it doesn't matter where it comes from - all modern Nag Champa uses synthetic ingredients. Apparently Nag Champa was originally made from all natural ingredients so if that comes back I'd buy it.
I agree with you on this. As production scales up, they will begin to use synthetic fragrances and machines to produce larger quantities. You can discover additional brands of handmade incense to enhance your experience.
Anyone have any references for their comments? Or these all opinions. As far as my research, they are both real.. one is just made the traditional way(hand made) and the other is done by machines. This is after the two brothers split the company.
Thanks a lot for information. I wish l could find again the original one because yesterday l just threw away the fake incenses bought from Amazon. It smells horrible.
I understand your perspective, but it’s important to recognize that different people have different experiences with products. Just because one product works well for someone doesn’t mean another one is fake or inferior. Let’s share our experiences without making assumptions. Respectfully, let’s focus on facts and genuine feedback rather than accusations. I think you are doing paid marketing.
1. Will a customer go to such lengths to purchase genuine Nag Champa incense? 2. To detect counterfeits, brands should employ cutting-edge, consumer-friendly technologies. 3. AI-based invisible cryptography anti-counterfeit solutions are now available; consumers only need to use their mobile phones to identify fakes. 4. This has already been implemented by global brands.
There's something more going on here... I have the "real" one but it still smells nothing like it used to. The new one stinks heavily of perfume and is unusable in my opinion.
@@Ohkeh640 Well, the thing is that there is no way of knowing ubtil you actually light them. Identification by packaging seems like it doesn't work. Cross your fingers as you pay is the best advice at the moment. Old stock is probably more likely to be the good stuff.
That's because the video is wrong. There was a dispute between the two brothers who owned the company. A judge in India granted them both authorization to produce it but the new factory in Bangalore is using a different process and different label. The original from Bangalore is rolled by hand the others are made by machines. You must have the ones from Bangalore; from the original factory.
It's not just backwards it's wrong. The company was split in two after the two brothers had a dispute. Now there are two factories, one in Mumbai and the original in Bangalore. They use different processes, in Bangalore they're still rolled by hand and in Mumbai they're rolled by machines. Plus the labels are different.
Yes, one might smell like burning plastic, rubber and metal which is k2 which is a drug and they get away with it by saying “not for human consumption” and they give little hints telling you to smoke it without actually telling you.
According to this video, my box is fake, but it smells exactly like the original Nag Champa. I'm not too worried because everyone here is saying this video is inaccurate to begin with.
ive used the (bng) labelled ones before, mainly the sticks and the dhoop sticks, i bought a box of the dhoop cones and they are the mumbai labelled ones, but i think they smell wayyy better then the bng's, they have a more powerful smell and they are almost dripping in oil, id call it a little more perfumey then bng's. BNG's super hit sticks are what the mumbai factories dhoop cones smell like. but the super hit cones i got from the mumbai are musky and dont smell very good, they dont compare to the "authentic" super hits
It's all equally toxic. Both brands send my air quality reading to ZERO. You read that right. ZERO, even with the window open (never seen it anywhere near that)
Does anyone know how to identify Original Goloka Nagchampa Agarbathi? (The yellow packages) Theres one option with an Bangalore adress on the Big pack (16g x 12 boxes) and one option without any adress
bought some from 5 below too and here I am watching this video now the fragrance is high though it doesn't smell like low quality or just wood burning the quality good what u thinking??
How does it feel to know that this video is very misleading? There is no fake product versus real product. The difference is very simple. Now pay attention people... Heres the short version... Both are made by the same family. But they are manufactured in two separate plans. One of the plants is in Bengaluru. THAT IS THE ORIGINAL. The other is manufactured in Mumbai. It is the "other" or "fake" Nag Champa. If your box has the word Mumbai absolutely anywhere on it then it is not from the original manufacturer it is from the other plant. There are absolutely no exceptions to this. Here's a short documentary style video of the Bengaluru plant manufacturing the Nag Champa... ruclips.net/video/bN3wLhZFXmQ/видео.htmlsi=PgrxwTHVQdhfI3UD
Is the video outdated or did the “fake” company change practices? The “fake” box now says “hand rolled in India” on the back. Do they actually hand roll them now or are they making false claims?
I have both Nag Champa side by side and my nose votes yes for the Mumbai factory, but my nose really likes the Positive Vibes and Super Hit scents from Bengaluru too.
100% true 👍 thanks for this video

Hand rolled is better burning and a more pleasant scent to me. I burn about 500 a week for reference.

I got the real one off Amazon.......
There are two types of incense available, one from Bangalore and one from Mumbai, and both are sold on Amazon.
The one with the Gold strip on the Seal is Horrible. The seal with blue and red only are the Authentic. This information seems to be backwards.
Its called personal taste.

Does it smell any different?????
No, Mumbai one is just machine made, not hand rolled.
@MADAM X I no longer buy the fake one or the factory manufacturered one. I smell like a burning wood or yes saw dust. It's just not the same.
