This is a short review, because there isn't much to say about this one other than the fact that it is very enjoyable. This is sweet, slightly spicy, and has exactly what the title says in it. Basil mixed with a soft amber scent. The stick is thick, woody, and very much a dry or woodbase incense. It burns far faster than the wet or soft masala by Shroff, and the longest one stick lasted was about 45 minutes. This was a particularly thick stick as well. Depending on the stick you pick out, the scent will alter a bit. The sticks with a thin bamboo stick and a thick mixture rolled around it will be a lot stronger and arguably better than a stick with a thick bamboo core and a thin incense mixture around it. The second type is great if you prefer a woody smell along with your amber/basil scent, while the first is great if you would prefer a more pure mix of amber and basil.
Overall, a very nice scent. I got a 25g pack as a free sample from an order from Essence of the Ages. It is not for sale on the site by itself, but perhaps if you are interested you could ask the owner of the site for a pack. I do not know how much it costs, but I'm guessing in the $4 range for a 50g pack. If anyone can find a site that sells this scent, please post here and let me know! I would love to be able to buy this again when I run out. This is a very pleasing scent.
