AUTHENTIC Indian Incense

Hand-rolled incense sticks, dhoop and cones sourced from artisan makers and heritage houses, delivered from the UK.

A small incense shop with a long memory

The Incense Atelier offers a carefully chosen selection of incense from artisan makers and heritage houses across India.

We make available one of the widest selections of authentic incense outside of India. Each variety is chosen for its quality and character — from deep, woody dhoop to light, floral agarbatti.

We work only with ateliers that produce hand-rolled masala incense using natural ingredients: sandalwood, resins, herbs, gums and oils.

How our incense is chosen

Most of our Incense is made in the traditional masala style: a soft paste of sandalwood, natural gums and powdered, aromatic herbs rolled by hand onto a slender bamboo stick.

We avoid harsh oils and crude, commercial blends. Instead, you’ll find Indian fragrances ranging from gentle florals to temple-quality agarbatti, alongside blends with deep notes of amber and oudh.

Alongside our own exclusive selections (Radha Krishna Temple Incense, Kannauj Supreme etc.), we choose to work with long-established companies with a reputation for producing incense of outstanding quality. You can find our entire range on the Incense Brands page.
