Incense Sticks – Vampire's Kiss

Strike a match, and within moments the room shifts. Vampire's Kiss is a dark, atmospheric fragrance from the darker incense range, the kind of scent that suits a quiet evening, a candlelit corner, or any moment that calls for something a little more dramatic and still.

The scent

• Rich and shadowy from the first curl of smoke, with a depth that settles into the room rather than announcing itself sharply.
• The name suggests something gothic and indulgent, expect warmth and darkness rather than sweetness, a fragrance that lingers long after the stick has finished.
• It suits an evening wind-down, a creative session, or any ritual that benefits from atmosphere and a slower pace.
• The smoke is visible and present; burn in a well-ventilated room for the best experience.

About Black

These sticks are made in India, the heartland of masala incense, a tradition in which fragrance materials are blended into a paste and rolled onto a bamboo core before drying. The Black range sits at the more dramatic, richly scented end of their catalogue. Like most commercially produced Indian incense, the fragrance includes perfume compounds alongside natural base materials, the result is a consistent, full-bodied scent rather than the subtler, more variable character of a pure resin or wood-powder stick.

Burning

Light the coated tip and let it catch for a few seconds, then blow out the flame gently so the tip glows orange. Rest the plain bamboo end in a heat-resistant incense holder or ash catcher and leave it to burn. Each stick burns for approximately 30 minutes. Never leave burning incense unattended, and always use a proper holder to catch the ash.

What you get

Each pack contains 15 sticks and weighs 40 g in total. The sticks are from the darker incense range, made in India.

A considered gift

A good choice for anyone who enjoys atmospheric fragrance at home, particularly those drawn to darker, more dramatic scents. The darker incense range makes a thoughtful addition to a gift alongside a candle, a holder, or other incense varieties.

Common questions

Do I need a special holder?
Yes, a heat-resistant incense holder or ash catcher is essential. The bamboo end sits in the holder while the coated tip burns downward, dropping ash as it goes. A simple wooden or ceramic holder works well.

How many sticks are in a pack?
Each pack contains 15 sticks.

Is this suitable for small rooms?
Incense smoke can be quite present in a small, enclosed space. A little ventilation, a slightly open window or door, gives the fragrance room to breathe and keeps the smoke from becoming overwhelming.
