HEM Hexagonal Incense - Precious White Sage

Light the tip, let the flame settle, and a clean, herbal sage scent begins to drift through the room. It is crisp and green rather than sweet, the kind of fragrance that suits a quiet evening, a few minutes on the yoga mat, or the pause before a meditation sitting. This is HEM's Precious White Sage in the hexagonal box, made in India.

About this product

What you'll notice
  • The scent is herbal and fresh, closer to dried leaves than to flowers or resin, and it reads as clean rather than heavy.
  • It fits the small moments of a day: unwinding in the evening, setting up a meditation corner, or giving a room a calm, tidy-feeling backdrop.
  • The slim hexagonal box is printed in soft pearl-grey, white and purple, with a sage-leaf motif, and the name appears in both English and Spanish (Salvia Blanca).
  • It works as an everyday room fragrance as well as a ritual companion, so you don't need an occasion to burn it.
How to burn it

Light the coated tip and let it flame for a few seconds. Blow it out gently so the end glows and the smoke begins to curl up. Stand the plain end in a heat-resistant holder or ash catcher, on a stable surface away from fabric and paper.

Sticks of this kind usually burn for somewhere between thirty and sixty minutes, though this varies from one product to the next. Keep a window slightly open for fresh air and never leave burning incense unattended, especially around children and pets.

White sage and the tradition behind the scent

White sage (Salvia apiana) is a silvery-leaved plant of the American Southwest, and its leaves have long been burned in Indigenous traditions there. HEM is an Indian incense house, and this stick is a fragrance made in India with its own character. It should not be mistaken for a smudging bundle or for the practices that belong to those communities. We simply offer it as a pleasant herbal scent for your own quiet rituals.

HEM is one of India's best-known incense makers, with a long-standing range of hexagonal boxes that has become a familiar sight in shops and homes. The Precious line pairs plant-inspired scents with elegant, minimal packaging.

What's included

A hexagonal box of HEM Precious White Sage incense sticks, ready to light. You will need a holder or ash catcher to burn them safely.

A thoughtful small gift

The simple packaging and fresh, herbal character make it an easy present for someone who enjoys yoga, meditation or a calm corner at home. It also pairs well with a ceramic holder for a considered gift.

Common questions

Is this the same as a white sage smudge stick?
No. A smudge stick is a bundle of dried leaves. This is an incense stick with a white sage fragrance, made in India and burned on a holder.
Do I need a holder?
Yes. The sticks are not self-supporting, so stand them in a heat-resistant holder or ash catcher to catch the ash as they burn.
Is the scent strong?
It is a clear, herbal fragrance that fills a small room without feeling sweet or heavy. Opening a window a little keeps the air fresh while it burns.

    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

    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
