Fête d'Hiver (Rose Amber Frankincense) Winter Solstice Incense Sticks
$39.00
Fête d'Hiver incense evokes a snow-covered rose garden, cobblestoned ancient city, blanketed with snow on the longest night of the year. Whiffs of fragrant mulled wine escape the door as someone enters it, shaking the snow off their furry coat collar. Picture yourself entering an ancient stone cathedral for Midnight Mass, lit with beeswax candles on the darkest night of the year, and shrouded in a thick cloud of frankincense smoke mingled with roses, lilies and orchard breeze from far away lands.
Fête d'Hiver incense was created especially for the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year. The fragrance is redolent of frankincense, amber, rose, jasmine, orange peel, grapefruit blossoms and spices. It is rich, dense and

To burn the incense sticks: Place the lit stick (light the tip and then blow out the flame) on a bowl full of ash (preferably rice ash). This will enable the stick to burn without any bits left off. If you have a designated incense dish with a hole you may also use that. It will leave a tiny bit of incense unused though.

Palas Atena Incense
$29.00
Visit product page →Palas Athena, the Greek Goddess of Wisdom and War may seem like a far fetched inspiration for what is a very Indian fragrance. But if you smelled Palas Athena with its rich champaca notes, you will understand why.
Both potent, powerful, gentle and warm - this perfume was such a natural fit for an incense blend that I couldn't resist the challenge of turning it into an incense. And this is my first time creating with some unusual traditional Indian materials little known in the West, and very tricky (and sticky!) to work with. It may not be perfect yet, but I'm pleased enough with the result to want to share it with you.
Palas Athena Incense cones and masala sticks are made in the traditional Indian way, and hand-rolled from unique botancials - resins, woods and spices that are unique to Indian incense crafting. This unique blend of exotic woods, spices, resins and flowers is very much an homage to the famous Nag Champa type of incense that is immensely popular but has long been tempered with synthetic additions.
from finely ground botanicals such as sandalwood, agar wood, spices, resins and herbs, and bound with natural gums or wood bark. No saltpetre or synthetic fillers are used in this incense.
Each box contains a dozen cones, or masala sticks. -

Snow on a Bough (Bois d'Hiver Winter Solstice) Incense Sticks

Visit product page →Bois d'Hiver incense evokes a snow-laden forest of ancient conifer trees. Picture in mind the towering pillars of a forest cathedral, made entirely of giant redcedars, Douglas fir trees and Hemlock Spruce, their evergreen branches laden with impeccably white snow.
Bois d'Hiver incense was created especially for Yule - the Winter Solstice. To celebrate the spirits of the forest and anticipate the return of the sun with fragrant smoke from resins and foraged botanicals carefully blended and shaped into thin sticks that produce a fine wisp of smoke, redolent of precious resins (frankincense, myrrh, sandarac, and wild harvested piñon resin and spruce pitch by my friends in Canada and the USA), mingled with and forest-foraged needles and saps from spruce, balsam fir, and juniper berries, and many other fragrant spices, and brightened by clary sage from my garden and bright grapefruit blossoms from my orchard. It is anchored in cedarwood, sandalwood, and a pinch of agarwood and snowy Borneol camphor.
