Sandalwood Discovery Set
Sandalwood sits at the heart of traditional incense making — a material valued for its fragrance as well as the role it plays in the structure of the stick itself. Its appeal is not hard to understand: the scent is warm and deeply familiar, and across Hindu, Buddhist and Jain traditions it carries a ceremonial weight that has kept it central to devotional practice for centuries.
Nearly every Indian incense house offers its own interpretation — this selection brings together five. Some soft and creamy, others drier and more wood-forward. The differences are sometimes subtle, and that's where the interest lies; exploring what shifts and what stays constant across the family.
These sets are put together with use in mind. We follow a thread — a material, a place, a tradition — and gather what we think are the best examples we can find. We hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed putting this collection together.
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.
