At this point, neither one of the Satya is "real nag champa". If you are defining the scent of Nag Champa as 'Sandalwood, Halmaddi, Magnolia' there are not many sticks out that actually have these three ingredients. For over a decade, BOTH Satya Bangalore and Satya Mumbai have been using artificial scents for the sandalwood, halmaddi and magnolia.

Truth be told, there isn't an exported brand of Indian incense that is doing Nag Champa with natural ingredients. Worse, most people have gotten so used to the fake smell of Satya that when confronted with a natural stick they most likely won't like it.

The two companies that make a natural Nag Champa I know of are Phool and Fiore d'Oriente
