How to Use It

Light the tip, let it flame for a few seconds, then blow it out so the ember glows. Stand it in an ash catcher, or push the bare end into a bowl of sand or rice, and open a window a crack — incense is meant to drift, not fill. Never leave it burning unattended; keep it away from curtains, children and pets.

In Tradition

Sandalwood paste marks the forehead in Hindu ritual and sandalwood smoke carries prayer; it is the base note of most Indian incense and the one most worth burning on its own.

Pairs Well With

Handmade Wood Incense Burner Boat, Sandalwood Oil .5 oz, Amethyst Tumbled Pocket Stone.

Never leave burning incense unattended. Keep it away from anything that can catch, and out of reach of children and pets. For fragrance only — not for internal use.
