GOLOKAChandan Incense Cones Box - Set of 12 Box - Premium Quality

When I received this, the cones didn’t look right. I burn this incense all of the time, but it was out of stock with my usual vendor. The cones were way smaller than usual, darker, and a lot of them are misshapen in this new box. Then I found a few cones from my last Goloka Nag Champa dhoop cones purchase. I’ve attached a picture here to show the 2 side by side. The fragrance seems right, but everything else about these is wrong. I can’t explain this other than they must be some knock off. Upon further inspection, the printing on the boxes is really fuzzy. These are fake! So I guess you even have to doubt if the incense you buy on Amazon is legit.

So, I've loved nag champa since I was a little kid. I grew up burning the "blue brand" satya sai baba sticks. Recently I discovered the cones, which produce far more fragrance than the sticks, but I was curious about other brands of nag champa... are they even remotely similar? On a whim, I decided to try these.Holy cows!These are VASTLY superior to the blue brand. Instead of huge plumes of smoke with some fragrance, it smokes *very gently* but produces a TON of saturatingly delicious and fresh nag champa fragrance. A single cone permeates my entire apartment with *pure* nag champa scent. They don't burn my throat and lungs the way the billowing smoke from the satya sai baba brand does. And the cone color is dark, rich, and a little moist, rather than dusty and dry. Definitely one of my all time favorite incense purchases ever.

Ok so I'm giving this review three stars because these DO smell good. If these are counterfeit they did a decent job on scent although it's slightly off just a teeny bit but still very pleasant. I'm sure you will be happy with the scent.That is, if you can keep them lit to even smell them at all....My thumb started to get very sore from the lighter flicking so many times that I ended up using a pilot/fireplace lighter. That forefinger starts to get slightly achy after a while too lol. I'm not exaggerating. THATS how many times I ended up having to relight these cones. One cone you will easily have to light no less than ten times. Then you'll just give up and try another one and the saga continues until they're all gone. It's a bother and colossal inconveinance.I've always been satisfied and very pleased with Goloka products in the past and never had these problems before so I just cannot imagine Goloka would put a product out where this is gonna happen. I know that counterfeiting is a common theme in the incense game but this particular one had a pretty good review ratio to the negative ones so I went with this one. They came sealed up in their boxes that were sealed in the normal plastic and they came in a bubble pack. They did not sit on my porch longer than 2 seconds as I seen when the driver was dropping them off cause I was stalking them waiting on their arrival...giggles. I was excited lol!So it cant be that they were left outside to the elements unless perhaps they were left in a super damp warehouse. They were shipped and delivered very rapidly as the Amazon warehouse is only in Jersey which is super close. I'm just trying to give other possibilities other than counterfeit as I do want to be as fair as I can be but I will admit that I'm not convinced this is an authentic Goloka product as of now.The seller for these was XTREMEK.

I'm positive this is not real Galoka Nag Champa. Its gray colored and not black and has flecks of something Woody. Galoka Doop cones are all resin and spice , free of wood. The smoke from galoka is more moist floral vapor while these cones from Amazon primes smell just like burning twigs and makes it hard to breath

These cones are heavenly. They're just like the Goloka sticks but without the stick smoke. Each of the 12 boxes comes with a tiny tray for lighting the cones, if you don't have something to burn them in already.However, they do burn super fast - like maybe a quarter of the time it takes to burn a stick, or less. I tried spritzing with water but that made little difference; I actually ran one under the faucet for a few seconds to see how that would go and it stayed lit but smelled a bit funky. So the sticks have a place too - if you want a shot of beautiful incense, you can light a cone, and if you want a longer lasting but marginally less awesome scent, you can use a stick.

Goloka nag champa cones are nearly the best nag champa I've tried.They are better than Satya Sai Baba nag champa.I would give them 5 stars but Golden Nag Champa is better.If you like Goloka nag champa you'll love Golden Nag Champa cones. They are better, stronger and longer lasting scent.I just ordered a box of these Goloka cones but it's my last one. I just found Golden nag champa and it's definitely better. Golden is more expensive and harder to find but recommend them if you like nag champa.

Fresh strong scent that does not irritate eyes and nose. Burns quickly but is worth the price

I picked these up as an add-on item I am very happy I did. Never tried these cones, did try the sticks but did not like them that much. But these cones in my opinion have a better aroma, soft and natural with a soft nag champa scent. I guess because they have no bamboo stick and are pure incense these smell way better I just ordered another case.

Love the scent of these, it actually has a high quality complex smell with distinguishable fragrance rather than a lot of the cheap incense cones which just smell like stale smoke.It's hard to describe the scent but it is quite floral with woody notes.The cones are easy to light, and they stay lit too. I've not had one go out prematurely and once lit they burn for a good 20 minutes. Highly recommended.

These are great! A huge amount of them came lol, so very good value for money. Do remember they're more potent than incense sticks , whilst still a lovely scent you dont need do many.

A fresh uplifting scent like frankincense. Not sickly sweet like so many which can be off-putting.

Other popular brands have lost an element of the nag champa scent over the last couple of years, but these smell how you expect it to.

The scent fills my home with an amazing calmness...my neighbours can smell the scent and asked how to get your product,l have now given them your details!
