About this product

What you'll notice
  • A rich, resinous aroma with a warm, balsamic depth, closer to a sheltered stone chapel than a fresh, floral room.
  • A scent that suits slow moments: meditation, prayer, yoga, or simply sitting with a book in the evening light.
  • A tall, slim hexagonal tube in deep red and gold, with the HEM name and a small ornamental motif on the front. It looks at home on a shelf or altar.
  • Sticks that rest in an ordinary incense holder, so the ritual stays simple.
An old scent, a long story

Frankincense is a resin, traditionally gathered from the bark of Boswellia trees, and it has been burned in sacred spaces for thousands of years. Its smoke is woven into the ritual life of many cultures, which is why the aroma so often feels ceremonial. The scent is an interpretation of that classic resin character, a calm, deep fragrance for quiet rituals.

How to burn it

Light the tip, let it flame for a few seconds, then blow it out so it glows and releases its smoke. Stand the plain end in a heat-resistant holder with an ash catcher beneath it. Burn in a ventilated space, keep it away from anything flammable, and never leave it unattended.

Good to know

This is a classic HEM hexagonal tube, made in India. The exact stick count and weight are best checked on the listing for the variant you choose.

A thoughtful gift

A good choice for someone who keeps a meditation corner, practises yoga, or loves a warm, grounding scent in the home. It is an easy, modest present that pairs well with a simple holder.

    Lemon Grass

    I absolutely LOVE the smell of lemon grass and these have not disappointed. I have one burning in my room and I'm sat in the garden but can still smell the lovely fragrance out here. They do burn for 30 odd minutes as described. I've bought some that burn down within minutes of lighting, so these are excellent. I would
