Author: Incense from India

A light floral with a hint of rose.

ROSE is ruled by Venus, the planet associated with love. Rose is a very difficult fragrance to produce as it takes a ton of rose petals to produce 300 grams (about 1/2 Ib.) of oil. The fragrance brings about feelings of warmth and affection. Because of that effect, rose fragrance can be useful in relieving anger, grief, or jealousy.

COMBINATION incenses are those which we have found to have the qualities of both the Masala and the Charcoal.

It is possible to make a masala incense and then dip it into liquid perfumes, producing a very colorful and rich bouquet.

Or, semi-liquid substances such as resinoids can be added to the masala along with essential oils or liquid aromatics.

These incenses usually have a great deal of depth, and once burned, leave a lingering after fragrance.
