Basil and Neroli Incense Cones 15 Pack

• Basil opens with a clean, green sharpness, the kind you notice when you brush a leaf in a herb garden, before softening into something warmer and more resinous.
• Neroli brings a delicate floral brightness, the blossom note of bitter orange, which lifts the basil without overpowering it.
• Together they fill a room with a scent that feels both alive and calm, suited to a kitchen, a study, or a quiet sitting room.
• The smoke from a cone rises in a slow, steady curl, denser than a stick, and the fragrance tends to linger in the room after the ember has gone out.
• The combination suits a moment of transition, the end of a working day, the start of an evening, a pause between tasks.

These cones are part of the incense range, made in India from perfumery raw materials. The cone format burns without a stick, so there is nothing to dispose of afterwards, just a small ash residue on the holder. Cones tend to burn a little more intensely than sticks, releasing their fragrance more quickly into the space around them.

Each cone burns for approximately 20 minutes. Stand it base-down on a heat-resistant incense holder, light the tip, and allow it to flame for around ten to fifteen seconds before blowing it out gently. The tip should glow with a steady ember and begin releasing smoke. A metal holder is included in the pack.

Place the holder on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from draughts, which can shorten the burn or cause uneven smoking. A still room lets the scent build gradually. Burn one cone at a time and keep the space ventilated, a slightly open window is enough. Store unused cones in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve the fragrance.

India has been at the centre of incense-making for centuries, and this range draws on that craft tradition. Basil, known as tulsi in Sanskrit, holds a significant place in Indian culture, considered sacred in the Hindu tradition and long used in ritual and daily life. Neroli, by contrast, has its roots in the Mediterranean and North Africa, where bitter orange blossoms have been steam-distilled for perfumery since at least the seventeenth century. Bringing the two together is a distinctly modern blending choice, one that crosses botanical traditions to create something that feels both familiar and a little unexpected.

Fifteen incense cones and a small metal holder. Made in India as part of the incense range.

A good choice for anyone who enjoys fragrance at home, or for someone building a small ritual around the start or end of their day. The basil and neroli combination is distinctive enough to feel considered, and the included holder means it is ready to use straight away.
