    Great value for money & lasting smell.

    I was surprised with how many incense come in this packet. It would actually make a great gift because they are individually boxed. They smell lovely when you open the packet. I am not normally a fan of incense fragrance because I don't like the potent aroma. I chose vanilla I thought it would be a…

    From Bombay with love

    Love the smell of these sticks. It took me a while to find them, but I first came across them when visiting the restaurant Dishoom in Manchester. The scene struck me as soon as I walked into the restaurant - now I have the same effect in my home. Horses for courses and all that, but a big thumbs up…

    Best incense Sticks ever

    I decided to spend quite a lumpy sum on this box and I don't regret it. The great thing is that I can give away a few small packs as gifts to my family + have plenty left for myself (the packs are sealed). The smell is delicious, yet not overwhelming and it leaves the room smelling nice for several…

    I was worried

    Lots of reviews saying they don't smell like real Nag Champa. Mine came cut open too so I expected the worst but as someone that's grown up with Nag Champa constantly burning in my home (34 years) They smell exactly like Nag Champa, they burn well. I can't see the issue, I've burnt Nag Champa that…

    The aroma from these are Lush!

    From Stanford, these incense sticks last around 35 minutes per burn. The aroma is relaxing and a lot less stringent than other scents. I've used Nag Champa Sticks before but these beat them hands down. There are 20 sticks per box and the 6 pack box contains 120 Sticks and cost less than £7 whereas…

    Stamford Floral incense

    Back in the late 70s/early 80s, I was a huge fan of Spiritual Sky incense. Sadly, they became more difficult to find in the UK. Govinda were another reliable brand, but more recently, the joss sticks on offer have been pretty mediocre, all smelling quite samey, and being quite smoky. I tried Satya…

A few things often kept alongside this piece.

About this product

The sandalwood mood
  • The scent opens with dry wood and a rounded resin warmth, rather than a sharp perfume note.
  • It suits unhurried rituals: reading, stretching, meditation, or simply letting a room settle at the end of the day.
  • The masala style gives the stick a textured, traditional feel, made from plant-based raw materials.
  • The smoke brings a visible point of focus, curling upward before the fragrance softens into the background.
  • Sandalwood has a quiet, devotional character, often chosen when a space wants warmth rather than sweetness.
Hand-rolled masala, plant-based materials

These are hand-rolled masala incense sticks made with resins and plant material. The finish is simple and tactile.

How to burn them well

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

Burn in a ventilated room and never leave incense unattended.

Sandalwood in context

Sandalwood has long been valued in Indian fragrance, ritual and contemplative practice for its smooth, woody depth. In Hindu and Buddhist settings it is often associated with devotion, focus and a sense of sacred attention, used to mark a threshold between ordinary activity and a more deliberate moment. Here, that tradition is carried through a masala stick: a plant-based aromatic blend, hand rolled in Karnataka, India.

Box details
  • Plant-based masala incense sticks with sandalwood fragrance.
  • 15 sticks per box.
  • Total weight: 43 g.
  • Hand rolled in Karnataka, India.
A thoughtful small gift

A fitting choice for someone who keeps a meditation corner, enjoys Indian incense, or likes to make everyday evenings feel more considered. It is easy to pair with a ceramic holder, a journal, or a favourite quiet ritual.

Common questions

Is this suitable for a meditation space?

Do I need a special burner?
