Nag Champa or Nag champa? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:10, 23 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Nag Champa, just like Dairy Milk and Mini Eggs. —SpacemanSpiff 03:52, 23 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Strange examples! But, yes, in "Nag Champa", "Champa" is part of the name, and so should be capitalised. Cheers, Kautilya3 (talk) 07:46, 23 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Capital "C" it is then. thanks, SpacemanSpiff and Kautilya3. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:44, 23 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Dairy Milk and Mini Eggs are trademarks owned by a single company. Isn't nag champa a generic fragrance made by multiple companies, in which case it would be all lowercase? Ibadibam (talk) 22:19, 20 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
In light of one year without further comments, I am moving this page to treat is as a common name, per MOS:CAPS. Ibadibam (talk) 18:47, 15 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Halmaddi

Why is there no mention of Halmaddi resin, which is also often part of the ingredient list, sometimes instead of plumeria, sometimes alongside it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.238.39.119 (talk) 08:52, 31 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Because it is no longer used in the famous blue box recipe. Despite the Indian government introducing laws to protect halmaddi from being over-harvested, blackmarket thieves continued to pirate the resin without a licence, resulting in the unfortunate devastation of most of the trees. So the inventor Satyam Setty (of Shrinivas Sugandhalaya company) stopped using it and modified the recipe. Samsbetter (talk) 02:33, 18 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

History

Why is there no history of Nag Champa? I would love to know more about who created it, how it was traded, and its impact on society. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.5.59.33 (talk) 22:59, 19 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Satyam Setty, around 1964.Samsbetter (talk) 02:34, 18 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Nag champa is a fragrance created by Late Mr. K N Satyam Setty (King of Masala Incense) in Bhatwadi, Ghatkopar, Mumbai, India. Satya Sai Baba Nagchampa was created in 1964, on the day his elder son Nagaraj was born. His belief was that as good fortune he named his product after his son. (“Nag” raj = “Nag” Champa), thus the birth of his son gave birth to a world-renowned fragrance. It is a symbol of traditionally hand-rolled masala agarbatti (Incense) Mumbai & Bangalore. The fragrance of Nagchampa is reminiscent of Champaca, having the aroma of Patchouli, Sandalwood, Spices, Oils, gums & resins. It is an exotic blend of floral and spices from India. Nag champa fragrance is commonly used in incense, soap, perfume oil, essential oils, candles, and other Home fragrance. It is a popular and recognizable incense fragrance throughout the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nagrajsetty (talkcontribs)
