What the Goloka Good Earth incense is
You are holding an Indian masala incense stick whose leading note is agarwood. It is a deep, warm and earthy aroma that helps quiet the mind and create a pleasant atmosphere in the living room, in a meditation corner or in the bedroom. The pack contains 12 boxes, each box holding 15 grams, so it lasts you for a long period.
What this size gives you
The 12 boxes × 15 grams pack is a good choice if you light incense regularly. A single box can easily last several weeks, so the full pack supplies your favourite scent for many months. The burning time per stick is roughly 60–90 minutes, which suits an evening of quiet reflection, a yoga session or meditation. If you would like to give a small gift to a loved one, you can also share one of the boxes with them.
The Indian tradition of masala incense
Masala incense is made by rolling a paste of natural resins, herbs and oils onto a bamboo stick. This style of incense making has been part of Indian tradition for centuries. Masala sticks usually carry a richer scent than simple oil-dipped incense and burn slowly, so the woody note unfolds gradually in the room.
How to use it at home
Place the stick into a stable, non-flammable holder, light the tip and after a few seconds blow out the flame so that only the glowing end smoulders. Keep the holder on an open surface, away from curtains, paper or other flammable materials. Air the room regularly, and keep the burning stick away from small children and pets. One stick is usually enough to scent a medium-sized room.
Origin and quality
The incense arrives from India, where the Goloka brand has been producing natural-ingredient incense for decades. The 12 boxes × 15 grams cardboard packaging protects the aroma during transport, so you can always light a fresh stick.
