{"product_id":"vedic-incense-sticks-tangerine-vanilla","title":"Vedic Incense Sticks - Tangerine Vanilla","description":"\u003cp\u003eBright tangerine lifts the air first, then softens into smooth vanilla, a scent that feels both cheerful and calming, like morning sun on warm wood. Made in India, these sticks suit the transition between tasks or the close of a busy day, when you want the room to feel lighter without losing its grounding.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe scent\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe citrus opens sharp and clean, the way a fresh peel smells when you press it between your fingers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVanilla follows underneath, rounding the brightness into something creamy and comforting rather than sweet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe two hold together in the room for a good while after the stick finishes burning, never cloying, just warm and present.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt suits spaces where you want focus without heaviness, a desk, a reading corner, the kitchen in the late afternoon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eIndian masala tradition, with natural resins and powders\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are made in the Indian masala style, where natural resins, wood powders and essential oils coat a bamboo core. The result is a denser, slower-burning stick than the dipped type, and a fragrance that builds as the ember moves along the length. The warm orange-brown colour you see in the photo is the paste itself, not a dye.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to burn them\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight the coated tip, let it catch flame for a few seconds, then blow it out so it glows. Stand the plain end upright in a holder or rest it at an angle in an ash catcher, keeping the ember away from anything flammable. Always burn in a ventilated space and never leave one alight unattended.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe Vedic line\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vedic series draws on traditional Indian scent pairings, citrus, spice, wood and flower, and grounds each fragrance in natural materials rather than synthetic bases. The name nods to the incense culture woven through Vedic ritual, where scent marked moments of prayer, transition and daily observance, though today these sit just as comfortably in a secular home as a sacred one.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne box of natural masala incense sticks from India. The stick count is not specified, so if you need to know the exact number before ordering, it's worth checking the listing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eA gift for someone who burns incense regularly\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis suits a friend who already has a holder and knows they like citrus-vanilla blends, or someone building a small collection of daily scents. The balance between bright and calming makes it an easy, optimistic choice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this scent natural or synthetic?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Vedic line uses natural resins, wood powders and essential oils in a masala base, so while the tangerine and vanilla are nature-derived, the blend itself is crafted, not a pure essential oil stick. It's honest, warm fragrance without synthetic heaviness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow strong is the scent while it burns?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nModerate. It fills a medium-sized room without overwhelming it, and the citrus fades faster than the vanilla, so the tail end of the burn leans warmer and softer. If you want something lighter, burn it in a larger or well-ventilated space.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I break a stick in half to shorten the burn?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The bamboo core snaps cleanly. Just make sure the broken end is the one you plant in the holder, so the coated section burns freely.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHAMTAM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54096023683386,"sku":"Vedic-28","price":4.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/8307\/0266\/files\/vedic-incense-sticks-tangerine-vanilla-cover.png?v=1789884624","url":"https:\/\/shamtam.com\/products\/vedic-incense-sticks-tangerine-vanilla","provider":"SHAMTAM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
