Palo Santo Resin Incense – Banjara

• The pieces look golden to deep amber through the pouch, with irregular chips that feel closer to raw incense than a neat stick or cone.
• The scent is smoky and warm, with Palo Santo at the centre of the blend.
• It asks for a slower pace: light the charcoal, wait for the glow, then add only a small pinch.
• The smoke unfurls thickly at first, then settles into the room as the resin melts into the heat.
• It suits a quiet evening, a cleared table, or a moment before guests arrive.

This is loose resin incense from Banjara's Tree Resin Incense range, made with resin, essential oils, herbs, natural sap, gums and other botanicals. The pieces are handcrafted, so their shape and colour naturally vary from one pouch to the next.

Loose resin incense does not self-light. Place a lit charcoal disc in a heat-proof censer or bowl, ideally over sand or ash, and wait until the charcoal is glowing and ashed over. Sprinkle a small pinch of resin on top.

Use on a fire-resistant surface only. Never leave burning incense unattended, and keep it away from children and pets.

Instead of a ready-made stick, the fragrance is released by heat: solid resin softens, melts, and becomes smoke. In this Indian-made blend, that familiar Palo Santo character is presented as a loose resin incense for charcoal burning.
