Citronella Incense Cones Dhoop

Bright, lemony-green citronella smoke brings a clean outdoor feeling to a quiet corner, a terrace table, or an evening ritual at home. These citronella dhoop cones are made for moments when you want a clear, lively fragrance rather than a sweet or heavy incense.

The scent in the room

• Citronella opens sharp and citrusy, with a grassy edge that feels crisp rather than floral.
• The smoke rises in soft pale curls, turning a small pause into a more deliberate ritual.
• It suits open windows, garden rooms, balconies, and relaxed evenings after the day has slowed.
• The fragrance feels cleaner and brighter than classic resinous incense, with less sweetness.

Indian dhoop, shaped for a fuller smoulder

This incense comes from India and belongs to the Nag Champa incense range. Dhoop is a more concentrated incense format than a slim stick, made to smoulder from the cone itself. The result is a compact ritual object with a generous presence in the room.

How to burn dhoop cones

Place one cone on a flat, heat-resistant incense holder or ash catcher. Light the tip, then blow it out so the cone glows and smoulders. Keep it away from draughts, curtains, pets and children, and never leave burning incense unattended.

Citronella in context

Citronella is best known for its bright citrus-grass scent, a profile often associated with outdoor living, warm evenings and practical summer rituals. In incense form, it offers a cleaner, greener alternative to heavier temple-style fragrances. Rather than the honeyed depth of classic nag champa, this is a sharper aromatic note, useful when you want the room to feel fresh, open and lightly energised.
