About this product

The scent
  • A rich, perfume-like fragrance that reads as warm and atmospheric rather than light or fresh.
  • The mood is dark, velvety and slightly mysterious, closer to a worn-in evening scent than a bright daytime one.
  • It suits quiet evenings, meditation, and spiritual routines where you want the air to feel layered and unhurried.
  • It also works as a deliberate, more sensual note in home fragrance, when you want something with presence.
The make

These are incense sticks, made in India. The scent is a perfume-style blend rather than a single raw resin or wood, so it is best thought of as a composed fragrance. The pack's box is printed in deep violet with soft pink blossom shapes, and the name appears in both English and French, Précieux Opium.

Burning

Light the tip, let it flame for a few seconds, then blow it out so it glows and the smoke begins to rise. Stand the plain end in a heat-resistant holder with an ash catcher beneath it. Burn in a ventilated room and never leave it unattended.

The pack

The sticks arrive in a slim hexagonal tube, a format that keeps them protected and makes the pack easy to store upright on a shelf or in a drawer. It is a simple, no-fuss way to keep one scent ready for the evenings you reach for it.

A considered gift

It suits anyone who likes a richer, more perfumed incense: a thoughtful addition for a friend who lights something each evening, or for someone building a small ritual of their own.

Common questions

What does Precious Opium smell like?
A deep, perfume-style fragrance, warm and mysterious, with a sensual, exotic feel. It sits at the richer end of incense scents rather than the fresh or herbal end.
Do I need a special holder?

When does it suit best?
Evenings are its natural time, along with meditation or any routine where you want a warm, atmospheric backdrop.

    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

    I was worried

    Lots of reviews saying they don't smell like real Nag Champa. Mine came cut open too so I expected the worst but as someone that's grown up with Nag Champa constantly burning in my home (34 years) They smell exactly like Nag Champa, they burn well. I can't see the issue, I've burnt Nag Champa that had been bought in In
