About this product
The scent
- Copal is a tree resin, used for centuries across Central and South America in ceremony and as a natural incense. Its scent is earthy and sweet, less sharp than frankincense, with a soft smokiness that lingers without overwhelming.
- The aroma unfolds slowly: a warm, slightly balsamic opening that deepens as it burns, filling the room with something that feels both grounding and expansive.
- It suits the hour between day and evening, or the moments before sitting down to meditate or read, when you want the air to feel different.
- This is the Obsidian variety within Banjara's Cristal Gemas range, where each scent is paired with a gemstone association. Obsidian, a volcanic glass, is traditionally linked to protection and clarity.
How to burn them
Light the coated tip, let the flame catch for a few seconds, then blow it out so the tip glows. Place the plain end upright in a holder or ash catcher, and leave it to smoulder. Always burn in a ventilated space, on a heat-resistant surface, and never leave unattended.
What you receive
A flat pack containing incense sticks, made in India. The packaging features Banjara's floral and gemstone motif in black and gold, with a small obsidian stone visible in the window.
A quiet gift
It suits someone who burns incense regularly, who values natural scent over synthetic florals, or who is drawn to the ritual of lighting something at the end of the day. The obsidian association and the warm, grounding scent make it a thoughtful choice for someone who meditates or keeps a small altar space.
