Classic! January 23, 2006

Satya Sai Baba Nag Champa is made in India by the Shrinivas Sugandhalaya company. Each stick is a special blend of natural herbs, resins, flowers and oils that are hand rolled. Each stick weighs about a gram and burns for approximately 45 to 60 minutes.
It is important to note that each sticks weighs a gram, because the company sells them by weight, not by number. Therefore if you buy a 250 gram box it equals 250 sticks and if you buy a 100 gram box it equals 100 sticks, etc.
I have been burning incense practically on a daily basis for the last 10 years and I have never found another brand of incense that can even come close to equaling the quality and fragrance of Nag Champa. THIS IS THE BEST INCENSE YOU WILL EVER BUY!
* NOTE:
In the many years that I have been buying this product the quality from the manufacturer has ALWAYS been excellent. However because this product is `natural,' it is sensitive to certain factors that will effect it's quality and are beyond the manufacturers control.
When you open the box the incense sticks should be a grey color and leave a grey dust on your hands when you touch them. It is also normal for some of this grey dust to collect at the bottom of the package (the bigger the box the more grey dust will flake off and settle to the bottom).
Once in awhile you might get a box of incense sticks that are dark brown and tan. This is an indication that they have been sitting on the shelf of the store for a long time and / or they have been exposed to damp weather conditions. This is not the fault of the manufacturer and they are still good, they will just be harder to light and their fragrance will not be quite as strong. This however does not usually happen very often.
The quintessential incense, holds great sentimental value March 13, 2004

It's difficult to review a brand of incense, and yet I'm eager to do so. I was first introduced to Nag Champa as a teenager in the mid-1990s at Journey's Bookstore, a now-closed New Age and recovery center in Beaverton, Oregon. It created such a beautiful, delicate, and peaceful atmosphere, especially when juxtaposed with the soothing music of Aeoliah playing in the background. Since then, not a month has gone by that I have not burnt at least a stick of this exotic scent. In fact, lately I have been burning several sticks a day - see, after I moved from the Portland area, my primary New Age supplier became Rosebud & Fish Bookstore in Salem. Sadly, the same fate befell Rosebud & Fish ... and at their going-out-of-business sale I bought over eighty-dollars worth of Nag Champa. I now have almost enough to open my own store! Anyway, like I said, it's hard to write a review of incense. Perhaps I should add that the lady who managed the now-closed (see a trend?) Alexandria Bookstore at Rosicrucian Park in San Jose, California, said that Nag Champa is a "classic" incense, and it became famous in the US during the 1960s, giving it something of a Hippie association. And I remember once talking to an Indian man who said proudly that this is a very "Indian" scent (he also told me that "Nag Champa" is Hindi for "Green Jasmine"), which makes sense since it is produced in India under the auspices of the Satya Sai Baba organization. Unfortunately, recent scandals regarding Satya Sai Baba have somewhat tarnished his reputation, but they cannot detract from the fact that this is a beautiful fragrance with which I have many positive associations and memories.

Nag Champa & World Incense December 12, 2007

I discovered Nag Champa when I was visiting a local incense shop. The manager recommended it to me as her favorite incense. She also told me she liked to burn it all the time.
I took her word and bought 15 grams to try it out. I rarely ever used incense more than one week and thought the same with this kind. I was very wrong. It was very different than the run-of-the-mill incense you see unopened sitting in bundles!
As you see in other reviews it is a very mild soothing aroma in the air. It sounds funny to say this but it almost slows the air down. As long as you have a quiet environment it brings tranquility.I would recommend this to anyone, not just people who are into incense.
Of course I bought more, but this time I bought it in bigger bulk from World Incense on Amazon. I received the 100g package quickly along with samples of the other Nag Champa flavors. Everything was sealed to keep in the freshness. I figure I will always get it this way and look forward to doing business with Tom again.
Great Quality November 10, 2008

I have little experience when it comes to incense because the last time I bought it was five or so years ago from the mall, but the stuff that I got was still moist, it wasn't too crumbly, and it smelled amazing. I'm guessing that means that it's still fresh. Either way, it's a great value and it burns wonderfully.
