Author: Incense from India

This rare incense is blended using the finest quality benzoin resin available.

The combination produces a delicious aroma with a spicy resinous after scent.

BENZOIN is ruled by the sun. The effects can be healing, drying, energizing, and uplifting. It has a far-reaching, stimulation action; it is known for its ability to "melt away" blockages. Used in ancient times to drive away evil spirits, it is also used as the scent-essence in incantations at spirit-calling séances.

DURBARS (and Champas) are wet-process incenses which frequently contain ingredients entirely unfamiliar in the West.

They are usually very slow burning and quite sweet and spicy in bouquet.

They can amalgamate solid and liquid perfumes in a gummy base which never quite dries, making the sticks themselves soft to the touch. All are rich and highly ragranced.
