Of the quite a few Parimal Mandir incense sticks that I have purchased, and also continue to use constantly - Brahmanand is unique and the best for me.
This belongs to a series of "Natural Incense Sticks" by Parimal Mandir.
It is a beautiful flower bouquet of fragrance which, thankfully, does not smell synthetic or "plasticky."
Fragrance stays for the whole day, and gets spoken about a lot.
It, unfailingly, brings a sense of fulfillment and happiness. Probably because of the natural flower smell emanating from the sticks.
HOWEVER, the reason for giving a 4-star rating and not a 5-star is the "horrible" outer box design.
The opening and closing clasp of the box is horribly bad/wrong.
The outer box is nothing but a piece of cardboard. The opening and closing slit of the box is so delicate and flimsy.
This incense sticks may be termed "premium". However, style and fashion cannot substitute practicality.
For a cardboard box, how long will the clasp or insert remain intact without tearing apart?
Plus, to open and close this outer box is difficult because of the "flimsy" closure insert.
Practical sense should be the priority. Ease of handling should be the number one priority.
I am not happy with the box opening and closure "style".
Fragrance, in itself, is a masterpiece and masterclass - 101% - no doubts.
I will definitely continue to buy Brahmanand for the fragrance and curse the opening and closure.
