Sandalwood Discovery Set
Sandalwood is where Indian incense begins. It's both its fragrance and structure — the wood that gives a stick its body as much as its scent — and it's been at the centre of Hindu, Buddhist and Jain devotional practice for long enough that its presence in a temple or a home shrine feels less like a choice than a given.
Every serious incense house in India has its own interpretation of it. This set brings together five. Some lean toward creamy and soft; others are drier, more openly woody. The differences can be small but noticeable and it’s what makes the comparison enjoyable.
We put these careful selections together around a thread: a material, a place, a time: sandalwood is a good place to start.
This set comprises:
Shri Chandan - Baykeri’s
Royal Sandal - Manohar Sugandhi
Golden Sandalwood - Cauvery
Shahi Chandan - True Vrindavan
Ashwamedh - Manohar Sugandhi
25 sticks, 5 sticks of each variety, a total of no less than 50g of incense.
