Dragon's Blood Vedic Incense Sticks, 12 Sticks

Dark, resinous and quietly dramatic, this Dragon's Blood Vedic incense brings a deeper tone to the room as it burns. The fragrance is rich and heady, made for evening pauses, a reset after work, or the small ritual of lighting incense before meditation or journalling.

The scent in the room

• Dragon's Blood has a warm, resin-like character, with a shadowy sweetness that feels steady rather than bright.
• The first moments are the most intense, as the lit tip catches and the smoke begins to curl.
• It suits slower parts of the day, especially when you want scent to mark a clear change of pace.
• The fragrance has presence, so one stick is enough to give a room a distinct atmosphere.

Hand-rolled masala from Jaipur

These are genuine hand-rolled masala incense sticks, made in Jaipur, India, by Aromatika. In masala incense, the fragrant paste is rolled onto the stick before drying, giving a fuller style than a lightly scented stick.

How to burn them safely

Light the coated tip, let it flame briefly, then blow it out so the end glows and releases smoke. Place the plain end in a heat-resistant incense holder or ash catcher, away from draughts, fabrics and polished surfaces.

Each stick burns for 20 minutes or more. Use in a ventilated space and never leave burning incense unattended.

Dragon's Blood in fragrance tradition

Dragon's Blood is a historic fragrance name linked to deep red plant resins used in incense, perfumery and ritual settings. Its appeal is partly in the name itself: vivid, old-world and slightly mysterious. In modern incense, it is often chosen for its bold resinous scent and its sense of ceremony, especially when a lighter floral or citrus incense would feel too delicate. Here, that character is carried through an Indian masala style, giving the fragrance warmth, depth and a lingering trail.

What you receive

Each box contains 12 incense sticks, with a total weight of 15 g.

A thoughtful incense gift
