It smells like cheap incense in neighborhood bodegas in India

I wanted to love this scent so badly. Sigh. But all I can smell is the incense and not the nice kind. It smells like the cheap ones you smell in bodegas in India. It’s sharp jasmine and amber that I smell, I don’t get any of the fruit notes at all. For what it’s worth, the perfume does capture the essence of that incens-y jasmine smell in the high humid heat of Malabar. Reminds me of the jasmine garlands you smell on women’s hair at a wedding or at a temple after it has been worn in the heat for a few hours. Also, a word on the description: Nair women described as princesses are not really princesses. Nairs are a caste largely land-owning and relatively well-off as a community but they are not necessarily princely. So a little bit of an exaggeration there.
