Patchouli - Radha Krishna Temple

Like Kesar Chandan, Patchouli is a benchmark scent, and most experienced incense users will have encountered many interpretations over the years.

This one stays true to the familiar earthy, slightly sweet patchouli profile, but with a softness that keeps it approachable. There’s depth and warmth without heaviness, and the fragrance remains rounded and composed rather than sharp or abrasive.

A reliable, grounding choice — particularly good for those who enjoy classic incense scents without excess intensity.

Kesar Chandan - Radha Krishna Temple

One of the great classic Indian combinations. Kesar Chandan — saffron and sandalwood — appears in the repertoire of almost every traditional maker, each with their own rendering of this dry, golden masala style.

This version is an excellent example of the genre. On the unlit stick it carries a warm, attractive perfume; when lit, it opens into a gently spicy profile with a subtle wintergreen lift that keeps the blend lively and well balanced.

Comforting, traditional, and quietly distinctive — an easy favourite.

Kasturi Chandan - Radha Krishna Temple

Despite the name — Kasturi suggesting musk and Chandan sandalwood — this incense leans in an unexpected and very appealing direction. Rather than musky, it opens into a deep, rounded sweetness with an almost fruity warmth.

What makes it work so well is restraint. The sweetness never tips into anything cloying or artificial, and there’s no trace of soapiness. Instead, it settles into a rich, comforting fragrance that feels composed and assured.

A quietly crowd-pleasing choice, particularly well-suited to late afternoon and evening use.
