Originated in Japan in the 19th Century, incense cones are the easiest and most low-maintenance to burn. Our incense cones are hand-shaped, and have a thick enough base to make them stand on their own. That makes them very easily portable and enables them to burn on any heat and fire proof surface, without the need for any special tools or dishes. You can even burn them outdoors on the ground.
Ayala Moriel makes two types of incense cones: Smudging Incense Cones, which are primarily made from herbs, with focus on a single element that is traditionally using fro smudging ceremonies and produces a similar scent for a continuous 10-15 minutes; as well as more sophisticated incense creations, as offered with our incense sticks and Agarbatti, which are simply a different shape, but produce more smoke (as cones are much thicker than sticks). These cones are a perfect solution for when you're traveling, or for beginner incense afficianado, as it does not require any special equipment to burn.
To use incense cones: Place the cone on its base, so that it stands straight on a heat-proof surface. You may use a designated vessel, or any heat-proof container that you don't mind getting a burn-mark (the cone will leave a circle of the burnt plant matter and some ash ones its been exhausted). A bowl filled with sand or earth, or a coin placed on a ceramic tile or plate will do.
Light the cone with a match or a lighter, and blow it off to allow the ember to slowly progress down the cone. Enjoy!

Newly formulated Palo Santo incense that is smooth and sweet, accentuating the soothing and warming properties of this magical wood, and highlighting its aesthetic qualities.
Palo Santo has a strong, affirmative presence, and on its own there is a certain sharpness to its resinous-woody-balsamic character. In this special incense blend, I have attempted to soften its rough edges, and bring forth a new quality I found in it while meditating on the wood alone: the thick smoke from smudging creates a feeling of being hugged from the inside, and a profound sense of being supported and cared for.
It is paired with sandalwood, vanilla, tonka bean, cinnamon and and a unique combination of wood binders that gives it a soft, sweet smoke and creates a warm, cozy feeling that will make your home feel cozy and protected.
Palo Santo is a sacred tree that grows in the Rainforests of Central and South America, where it has been used for time immemorial in smudging ceremonies and healing rituals. It is grounding, balancing, promotes mental health as it is both uplifting, energizing and protective. Palo Santo develops the essential oils and resin that give it its unique perfume only after the tree dies down, teaching us that even after death, separation and endings there is hope for beauty and strength.

The inspiration for this unique incense blend is an encounter with a Red Dragonfly that sat on my hand one morning while meditating in the creek. I always felt that dragonflies were magical creatures - catching the light with their bejeweled wings as they flutter between water and air. The red one is also fiery!
