Cycle Rose

I got these incense from 2 stores, I bought the bottom pack from Carrefour while the pack at the top is from Day To Day. Fun Fact- Cycle Brand has 2 distributors in Dubai, one is Shah & Patel Impex while the another one is by Al Nasamat General Trading. Both of the distributions distributes incenses and beauty products from India, so the bottom blue hexa pack with a Indian women and roses are distributed by Shah & Patel Impex while the Pink one is distributed by Al Nasamat General Trading.

Even though they have different packaging, they have the same fragrance. It has a fragrance of Rose water. That’s it. Pleasant, sweet rose fragrance which reminds me of a pure rose water. I like it, and it’s good for a daily burn.

7/10- Good.

Cycle Godhuli

I got this from India when I was on my 2 week vacation recently. N. Ranga Rao & Sons or Cycle Brand makes exceptional masala incenses (Parampara, Pushkarini, Oudh Natural, Yagna, Dasara etc.) and also ace on dipped incenses like this Godhuli incense. Godhuli is defined as the time of the setting sun, when the cows which had gone out for grazing, return home. They raise the dust with their hoofs. This is what they have tried to capture it, and they have succeeded it. Unlit sticks smells very earthy, like wet mud on a farm, greeny lush grass with perfumey musk hint in it, when burnt the earthy fragrance has been intensified with musk hint in it. There is also a noticeable cedar wood fragrance in it. I’m a sucker for earthy fragrances, so that’s a nice fragrance to have.

Cycle Shiva- Mahashivratri Special

I got this incense from Amazon.ae in a pack of six. Cycle Brand is a part of N. Ranga Rao & Sons who’s was founded in 1948, it is the most popular incense brand in India because of its advertising and its availability. They are one of my favorite incense brands, I like their normal perfumed range but I love their masala range. This incense is a masala incense sticks with incense powder on top. I love this, there is the woolyness of halmaddi with floral, sandalwood, honeysuckle, musky, camphor, sambrani (benzoin), and sweet caramel notes in it. I got this six pack as a discount lol 😝. I have posted this review on the day of Mahashivratri, a holy festival for hindus which marks the marriage of Lord Shiva and Parvati and manifestation of Lingam. I will repurchase this incense.

Available in Amazon.ae for 25 dhs for 6 pack if you’re in UAE, or if you’re going to buy single pack, then go to Al Jawhara Gift Store in Meena Bazar or Perumal Stores, Cycle.in in India, Waangoo in Singapore and Stoutmonk in USA

8.8/10- Outstanding.

Cycle Lia Chandanam- Divine and Soothing.

I got this incense from My recent trip to India on December. This is one of the 18 ranges from Cycle Lia, which is a long, dipped incense range. Even though this is a synthetic sandalwood incense I like this, it is a mild synthetic sandalwood smell which floral hints. One thing I like about this range that I get some random free gift with this, like avia soap, vibe soap, vibe soap strips, matchbox and a free cone.

7.9/10- Good.

Cycle Flute Coconeer (Coconut)

I got this incense from Cycle.in store for 12 rs. Cycle Flute is an everyday incense launched in India in 2022 and it was always there in exports. This is a 8 inch perfumed charcoal machine made incense sticks. When sniffing the cold incense, it reminded me of Garnier Hair Food Coconut and Macadamia Hair Mask (Ultra Doux, Ultimate Blends or Fructis) Lol. When burning it, I can still get the vanilla, sandalwood, creamy, coconuty fragrance of that mask. When buying this, don’t expect it to smell like a real coconut. Almost all the coconut incenses are synthetic, even though they produce oil unlike most of the fruits, they can smell awful when burnt. I find this an ok incense, will revisit this incense once more.

6.9/10- Not Great, Not Terrible.

Cycle Lia Spice World- Inspiring & Stimulating

I got this incense from my local grocery store in Dubai for 3 dhs.

Cycle Yagna

I got this incense from Perumal Store for 7 dhs. Cycle Brand is foundered By N. Ranga Rao in 1948 and is one of the most popular incense brand in India. Yagna is the ritual done with sacred fires, often with chanting mantras and by offering the fire ingredients like dried cow dung, curd, milk, ghee, wheat grains and havan samagri which is a blend of herbs, woods, flowers and spices. This is a phenomenal incense. It smells like havan (yagna), it has the smokey, earthy smell of dried cow dung, the herbal, woody and floral smell of havan samagri with creamy note of sandalwood, resinous guggul, jasmine, and there is a hint of Oudh in this. I love this incense and this is my all time favorite of mine.

10/10 Outstanding.

Cycle Rhythm Amber

I got this incense from Carrefour for 3 dhs. Cycle Rhythm is one of the sub brands of Cycle Brand, they have 6 Dipped incenses and 1 masala incense, these fragrances are Amber, Orient, Floral (Only for Exports), Saroja (Only for Indian Market), Sandal (Only for Indian Market) and Rhythm Pushkarini which is a masala incense and is one of my favorites and I LOOOOVE it.

Coming back to the review for Rhythm Amber, I also love this. This has the musky, sweet, vanilla and cologne note in it. I’m not familiar with how amber should smell like so i can not tell if this has real amber. I love this incense and it’s a nice everyday incense to give your house or pooja a nice fragrance.

8/10- Very Good.

Cycle Manmohak Oudh Natural Incense

I got this from Kottakal Ayurvedic Store in Dubai for 6 dhs. This incense is spectacular. It has a hint of Oudh with bittersweet, floral, earthy, musky and balsamic notes so it’s an oudh Blend not a pure oudh smelling incense. I have smelled A real Oudh and many incenses which smells like a real oudh like Nirmalaya’s Mukhallat and I love it but I always come back to this incense because the smell of oudh really blends well with that balsamic and floral note. If you hate a real oudh smelling incense and you’re looking for a nice oudh blend incense or if you’re beginner with oudh incenses then I recommend this incense.

10/10- Ourstanding

Cycle Ambience

I Got this incense from an Pooja Shop in Dubai for 7 Dirhams. This is a Masala incense. From the cold incense, it smells like detergent lol, but when lighting it, it smelled very nice. It has a smell of oudh, musk, and cow dung but it’s very mild with a hint of spicyness and floral. Will repurchase this.

8/10- Very good
