Hand-rolled masala incense from Jaipur

These are hand-rolled masala incense sticks made in Jaipur, India, by Aromatika. Masala incense is known for its richer, more textured feel than simple dipped sticks, with fragrance worked into the coated part of the stick.

Lighting and everyday use

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

Each stick burns for 20 minutes or more. Use in a ventilated room, keep away from draughts and flammable materials, and never leave burning incense unattended.

Benzoin in scent tradition

Benzoin is a balsamic resin obtained from the bark of several tree species, valued in fragrance for its sweet, warm and vanilla-like aroma. In incense, it is often chosen for a settled, resinous atmosphere rather than a bright or floral scent. Its depth makes it especially suited to evening rituals, quiet reading, meditation spaces and the small daily act of marking a change in pace.
