Frankincense Resin Incense – Banjara

• The scent begins with smoke and resinous warmth, then settles into the familiar depth of frankincense.
• The resin softens on the heat before releasing its fragrance, giving the whole process a slower, more attentive feel.
• It has a fuller presence than a stick incense, with the scent rising directly from the warmed resin.
• You can burn a single piece for a simple frankincense note, or use a smaller amount for a gentler trail of smoke.
• The preparation is part of the pleasure: lighting the charcoal, waiting for it to glow, then adding the resin.

This Banjara frankincense resin incense is made with resin, essential oils, herbs, natural sap, gums and other botanicals. The pieces are handcrafted in India, drawing on a long local tradition of aromatic blends for smoke and scent.

Loose resin incense does not self-light. Place a lit charcoal disc in a heat-proof censer, bowl or cauldron, ideally over sand or ash. Let the charcoal heat and ash over, then add a small piece or pinch of resin on top.

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

Frankincense has long been used in churches, temples and home practice as a fragrant smoke for marking sacred or reflective time. The resin itself comes from aromatic tree sap, valued because heat transforms it from a solid grain into a dense, scented vapour. In this form, incense asks for a little patience: the coal must be prepared, the resin added carefully, and the smoke allowed to unfold at its own pace.

Contains 35 g of frankincense resin incense. Made in India as part of Banjara's Tree Resin Incense range.

A considered choice for someone who enjoys traditional incense, resin burning, or slow home fragrance. It feels especially suited to people who like the hands-on nature of preparing scent, rather than lighting a ready-made stick.
