Mosh –
This is a super-smooth scent, with the usual Tibetan players of Cypress, Juniper, Musk, etc, and a scent which is common to both “Red” and “Brown” Tsurphu incense, a somewhat woody/herbal background which suggests Sandalwood and Nutmeg. No particular scent dominates, they all weave together in a seamless symphony of scents. The packet reads there are 34 ingredients, this is a spiritual device common to Tibetan and Bhutanese incenses, the large number is to satisfy all the diverse beings in the universe. Certainly this is a very satisfying incense at an affordable price.
