Dual Resin Incense
Guggal Loban brings together two of the most important resins in Indian incense tradition: guggal (Indian bdellium) and loban, also known as sambrani. Both have been used for centuries in perfumery, temple incense, and everyday household fumigation, valued as much for their aromatic character as for their practical qualities.
Guggal is a dry, balsamic resin with a warm, slightly bitter edge and a natural smokiness that forms the backbone of many traditional masala blends. Loban or sambrani, by contrast, is softer and rounder — gently sweet, resinous, and diffusive — often used to soften harsher notes and give incense a lingering presence in the air. Together, they create a fragrance that is earthy, smoky, and quietly complex rather than overtly perfumed.
This is an incense with a grounded, unadorned character. It clears and settles a space without sweetness or floral ornament, making it especially appealing to those who favour the raw honesty of resins and woods over decorative blends.
Details
• Type: Hand-rolled masala incense
