How to Identify Pure Chandan
Pure Chandan powder has a subtle, persistent woody aroma that does not smell "perfumy" or chemically sharp. When mixed with water, it should form a smooth, non-gritty paste that provides an immediate cooling sensation on the skin.
Ayurvedic Tip: Applying a Chandan Tilak on the Agya Chakra (the spot between the eyebrows) helps maintain mental clarity and keeps the mind calm during high-stress situations.
