Dragon's Blood - Nag Champa | 15 g sticks
Nag Champa is widely regarded as the most famous incense in the world, known for its sweet, slightly earthy base scent that originates in India. This variant combines that classic base with a Dragon's Blood note, named after the bright red plant resin traditionally used as an incense ingredient. The result is a warm, spicy-sweet scent profile with resinous, earthy undertones, generally experienced as fuller and darker than a classic Nag Champa or sandalwood.
The sticks are made using traditional agarbatti craftsmanship, hand-rolled around a thin bamboo core. Producers in India use a blend of natural herbs, wood powder, resin and flower extracts that are rolled around the core and then left to dry. Each 15-gram box contains roughly twelve sticks, each around 13 to 15 centimetres long.
How to use them
Place a stick upright in an incense holder with an ash catcher, or lay it at an angle in a holder with a slot. Light the tip with a match or lighter, let the flame burn for about 10 seconds, then blow it out so the stick smoulders. One stick burns for roughly 30 to 45 minutes and releases its scent gradually throughout the room. Make sure there is enough ventilation and never leave burning incense unattended.
Storage
Keep the sticks dry and at room temperature, preferably in the box, to preserve the scent for as long as possible.
