my fav used to be nag shampa, until i discoverd night queen made in ajmer comes in one of those little foil packs.
it is a lot sweeter than nag shampa so may not be for everyone.

We buy Cycle brand Agarbathi at home. 'Three in one' is our choice. Champa too is nice. They are made in Mysore, the sandalwood city.

Sandalwood made by the SRF (Yogananda)

Pushkar Rose

Nag Champa is a regular fave...but I recently came back from Pushkar and I'm crazy about the roses there...the best rose smell in world! I got some handmade Pushkar Rose incense and it is amazing. I think you can only get this in Pushkar.
