HEM Hexagonal Incense - Precious Chandan
Light a stick of Precious Chandan and the room begins to soften. The scent is smooth, woody and mellow, a warm sandalwood character that settles rather than announces itself. It suits the quieter moments of a day: an evening wind-down, a few minutes on the mat, a pause before prayer or meditation.

About this product
The scent
- A smooth, woody fragrance inspired by classic Indian sandalwood, warm and mellow rather than sharp or sweet.
- Calm in character, the sort of aroma that lets a space feel unhurried instead of perfumed.
- Familiar and easy to live with, so it works as a regular companion to a daily ritual.
- Described as "inspired by" sandalwood, so expect the feeling of the wood and its warmth, not a literal sandalwood-oil experience.
The making
The sticks come in a tall hexagonal tube, finished in deep red and gold with an ornate Indian architectural panel on the front. The pack names Chandan as an essence of the timeless sandal, and it is intended for pooja, samadhi and quiet moments throughout life.
Burning
Light the coated 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 or ash catcher. Burn in a ventilated room and never leave it unattended. Check the listing for pack details.
The source
Chandan is the Hindi word for sandalwood, a wood long woven into Indian worship, meditation and daily ritual. This blend takes its cue from that classic fragrance and is made in India.
What you get
A tube of HEM Precious Chandan hexagonal incense sticks, ready to burn. A holder is not included, so choose one that catches the ash, such as a simple brass or stone burner.
A considered gift
A good choice for someone who meditates, practises yoga or likes to close the evening with a small ritual. The tall red and gold tube looks lovely on a shelf, and sandalwood is a gentle, widely loved scent to give.

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.
