Altru Incense I just received my order of Altru/Mani's incense from Nordstrom. I ordered the metal scroll which contains 15 sticks of "Wellness" which is a combination of white clove and wild ginger. I also ordered a cylinder containing 40 sticks of "Integrity" which is persian lilac and bamboo. Folks, these are absolutely lovely. The scents are nothing like I have ever experienced in other products. Such exotic fragrances! The only complaint I have is that the metal scroll is not like the one pictured on Nordstrom's site. That one looks much richer and prettier than the one I received which is a copper color and not at all like the representation on the Nordstrom site. For $55 I expected to receive what was pictured. I'm going to write them to let them know that it is not a fair representation. But as far as the incense goes, I am very pleased. Try it. | |

Interesting. I'm going to check them out in person at the Nordstrom in Seattle. Mani will actually be there this coming Saturday, so I I hope I will get to meet her. [Edited 12/4/06 9:13am] Wanna hear me sing? www.ChampagneHoneybee.com | |

They totally look like something that they would sell at Anthropologie! I've purchased some candles from there that had a very similar look to them. The price range is about the same too. (albeit expensive) Wanna hear me sing? www.ChampagneHoneybee.com | |

I like to describe it as "tattered elegance", because they make clothes with fine fabrics (and charge fine prices), but leave a lot of hems unfinished. Everything looks like it's been taken out of a very old hope chest, shaken out, and hung on a clothing rack with a price tag attached. Wanna hear me sing? www.ChampagneHoneybee.com | |

The incense holder with 15 sticks cost $30. The paper cylinder with 40 sticks cost $15 for a total of $45. Add shipping/tax, about $55. I guess I could have saved $10 by driving 30 miles to Nordstrom, but I figured I'd burn that up in gas, so same difference. | |

I really like the incense that came in the scroll set. I'm surprised your scroll didn't look ornate like the one on the website. I bought one from a Norstrom store, and it is very pretty. There are little flowers and leaves all over it.
I got the Harmony incense too. It's very fruity, and a unique scent for incense. Wanna hear me sing? www.ChampagneHoneybee.com | |

Yeah, the photo on Nordstrom does look more gold, but it's supposed to be copper. Still, I think it looks very nice. It has the handmade look to it, and was made in India, so it matches my home decor perfectly. Wanna hear me sing? www.ChampagneHoneybee.com | |
