Sacred Ritual - Nag Champa, 15 gram incense sticks
Nag Champa is the best-known incense base from India, originally produced in the temple city of Bangalore. A paste of wood powder, natural resins, herbs and floral extracts is rolled around a thin bamboo core for this base, after which the sticks dry until ready to burn. Sacred Ritual builds on that same base with a deeper, slightly smoky-spicy accent, which suits a calm, ritual atmosphere better than the classic sweet Nag Champa scent on its own.
A 15-gram box usually holds twelve to fifteen sticks, each burning for roughly 30 to 45 minutes depending on humidity and airflow in the room. Dutch-smart.nl stocks Sacred Ritual alongside other Nag Champa variants, so you can choose based on scent preference rather than brand alone.
Use
Place a stick upright in an incense holder with an ash tray, or lay it at an angle in a slotted holder. Light the tip with a match or lighter, let the flame burn for about 10 seconds, then blow it out so the stick smoulders and releases its scent gradually. Make sure the room is well ventilated and never leave burning incense unattended, especially near curtains or other flammable material.
Storage
Keep the sticks dry and at room temperature, preferably in the closed box. Moisture affects both burn quality and scent strength, so keep the box away from a damp bathroom or kitchen. Stored dry, the scent stays fresh for months.
Besides Sacred Ritual, Dutch-smart.nl also carries Jasmine, Californian White Sage and Sandalwood in the Nag Champa range, for anyone who wants to try a different aroma.
