This is a lot of different incense, although they've all got a fundamental smell that's the same, the herbal earthy nag champa smell that they're famous for. But on top of that, every once of these is a different variation, and this is a good way to try them by just getting a few sticks each.
The usual brands like Nag Champa, Super Hit, and Aastha are probably familiar to you if you like Satya incense. If you're not, they're the classics that everyone loves, although Aastha is fairly new on the market. You get two boxes of these.
There are some that aren't so good. Fresh Rose and Creamy Musk are rose and musk on top of the herbs, and I'd rather just have rose or musk instead, they just don't blend well. Leeladhar is this dry and dusty scent that is OK, but almost makes you thirsty, if you know what I mean.
A couple of them grow on you, they're what I would call mysterious and exotic. These include Sarvam, Ajaro, and Hari Om.
Super sandal is a sandalwood scent that's decent. It won't replace the pure sandalwood in your incense if that's what you like.
Natural is these bigger and thicker sticks with a smell like the Nag Champa.
So overall I would have given this four stars. But then came the surprise, and that's Ishana. Ishana is this exotic, slightly floral, slightly spicy, unique scent that is absolutely out of this world. It's now my favorite incense and all I've been burning for the last couple of days.
So I give this five stars, because I think that you never know if you're going to find that perfect incense that you really like in all of this variety, like I did. And I still haven't even tried all twenty of them! |

| Haha, I'm not kidding! This is a great, diverse selection of 'scents' - the packaging is beautiful, colorful ... it is literally fun to pick "new" scents and critique them like wine. Good stuff! |
Extremely nice variety of incense

| I am extremely happy with this collection of incense. They last a long time, 30 minutes on some of the varieties and they smell great. Easy to light, and they stay lit! Very nice to trial different varietys so I can determine which ones I like the best for future orders! |

Wonderful, beautiful, loveliness. :)
Smells so good. It's almost the only incense I burn. I've never had a person come into my home and not comment on the good fragrance while burning this incense. |
decent package

These are a good buy if you are into Indian incense and are looking for some new scents to check out. There are quite a few good ones in the package, however many have about the same scent and there are several just plain awful smelling ones.
The packaging was mediocre, they came in a large box and many of the 10g packages were bent or slightly damaged, but this was not really a problem, since the sticks themselves were in good shape (other than some excess powder at the bottom of some of the packages).
I suggest getting them if you are looking for some new incense to try and have enjoyed nag chamba or other satya incense, if you have never tried either I would suggest getting a smaller package of nag chamba first. |
Don't buy if you have allergies.

| I have allergies, and these made me sneeze non-stop. Not to mention really itchy eyes. They do smell good...but just not for me |
