Fragrances to help you concentrate.
Frankincense
An incense of biblical renown, traditionally made from a resin called 'olibanum'. For our frankincense, a little rose has been added to this resin, to create a sweet, woody fragrance that is perfectly suited to everyday use. It is grouding, calming and earthy.
Frankincense can help with depression and anxiety and is a known anti-inflammatory.
The olibanum is a resin harvested from the Boswelia tree. Overharvesting and climate change have put this tree at risk in the Horn of Africa and the Arabian peninsula, but please rest assured that we only use Indian frankincense.
If you like the resinous properties of frankincense, you might like to try 'Chandra', a distinctive and outstanding fragrance in our 'online only' range. 'Dhyana' in the same range carries a lot of frankincense too.
Musk
An earthy, woody fragrance, enhanced with a little top note of saffron, which gives it an adventurous edge.
It is an active fragrance which is said to restore balance and order. It can help you to concentrate, so it it is good for studies, for the morning and when starting a new project.
Rest assured that our musk incense is made only from plant-based ingredients, just like all our other incenses.
If you like musk, you may also like the slightly sweeter 'Cinnamon and Spice', or the stronger 'Agni'.
Patchouli
The distinctive fragrance of patchouli leaves, softened with a hint of rose and enriched with a variety of herbs. The old favourite with a modern twist.
The scent of patchouli, which is a plant closely related to our mint, is said to be uplifting and promoting of peace and calmness. Patchouli can as such help to relieve anxiety, depression, and stress.
If you like Patchouli but you are looking for something stronger, try 'Lila' or 'Aditi'. And we can also wholeheartedly recommend 'Bhakti', where patchouli plays a large supporting role to a beautiful mellow rose.
Rose

Rose incense has been used for many, many years in religious ceremonies and as medicine. The ancient Romans used it in their dedications to Venus, the goddess of beauty, love and prosperity.
