Many people are fond of burning incense and wearing perfume. But what is the best scent that exists? One way to answer this question is posed by Krsnadasa Kaviraja. In the Caitanya Caritamrta (Antya 4.197). He quotes Caitanya Mahaprabhu as saying, "Sanatana Gosvami is one of the associates of Krsna. There could not be any bad odor from his body. On the first day I embraced him, I smelled the aroma of catuhsama [a mixture of sandalwood pulp, camphor, aguru and musk]."
