Collection: Incense Discovery Gift Sets

Traditional Indian incense, also known as agarbatti, is typically hand-rolled using natural ingredients such as resins, woods, herbs, spices, floral extracts, and botanical materials blended into masala incense paste.

Masala incense is a traditional style of Indian incense made by blending aromatic ingredients directly into the incense mixture before hand-rolling onto bamboo sticks, creating a richer and more layered fragrance.

Hand-rolled incense contains blended aromatic materials throughout the stick itself, while dipped incense is generally coated in fragrance oils after production and may smell sharper or more synthetic.

Agarbatti is the traditional Indian word for incense sticks. Indian agarbatti is known worldwide for its handcrafted masala blends, temple incense, sandalwood incense, and resin-rich aromas.

Halmaddi adds a soft, rich, slightly sweet and resinous depth commonly associated with classic temple-style Indian incense and traditional masala blends.

Temple-style incense refers to traditional Indian incense blends with deep woody, resinous, herbal, and slightly sweet aromas inspired by classic incense used in Indian temples.

Most Indian incense sticks can be used with standard incense burners or wooden incense holders designed for bamboo-core incense sticks. Heat-resistant incense burners are recommended for safe daily use.
