The fragrance is deep, earthy and musky. This is a themed range from a UK giftware designer, made in India in the traditional way.

Burning incense is one of the oldest ritual acts: Egyptian temples burned kyphi, and frankincense and myrrh were prized trade goods across the ancient world. We share these as cultural traditions and personal beliefs only, never as health claims. ## How to use - Keep incense well away from smoke alarms, curtains and bookshelves. - Set a simple intention, then light the incense and blow out the flame. - Use a heat-proof burner or ash catcher. - Ventilate the room and never leave it unattended. - Moon idea: the new moon is the traditional time for beginnings and the full moon for gratitude and release. - Evening idea: light it as you switch off screens for the night, a simple cue to wind down. - Safety: always use a heat-proof holder on a stable surface, away from curtains, children and pets. ## Care - Store sealed in a cool, dry place to keep the fragrance fresh. ## Policies - Delivery: UK delivery £3.95, free over £40, 2–5 working days.
