A sweet, warm devotional incense made by SAC for Gauchito Gil, the folk saint of Argentina — burned at his red-flagged shrines and on home altars for favours and protection.

• Stick: about 8 inches, on a bamboo core
• Burn time: roughly 30 minutes a stick
• Made in India by SAC (Sandesh Agarbathi)

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

Antonio Gil, the Gauchito, is Argentina's beloved folk saint: a gaucho-outlaw whose roadside shrines are hung with red flags. Devotees ask him for help and pay it back with red ribbons, candles and incense.
