India
Incense is the simplest way to change how a room feels: strike a match, let the tip glow, and a thin line of scent settles over the evening. This page gathers every kind of incense we stock in one place, from sticks to cones and resin.
What you will find here
Incense sticks make up most of the shelf: masala sticks in the Indian style, Nag Champa, sandalwood, frankincense, white sage and floral blends from Satya and other makers. Cones give a shorter, fuller burn for a small room. Backflow cones send their smoke downwards when they sit on a backflow burner, so it pours like a slow waterfall. Resin and powder, such as frankincense, myrrh, copal and dragon's blood, are warmed on a charcoal tablet: the oldest way to burn incense.
How to choose
For every day, start with a box of sticks in a scent you already like. For a ritual or a quiet hour, try resin on charcoal. For something to watch, a backflow cone. Burn incense on a heatproof holder, in a room with some air, away from anything that can catch, and never leave it alight on its own.
Holders and burners are on the incense holders and burners page, and the backflow burners on backflow burners.
