The lotus opens its petals as it rises above the water – and something of that clean, light mood carries through in the scent of this incense.
The scent of lotus
The scent of lotus is delicate, clean and softly floral – never overpowering, more translucently light, like the flower itself opening above the water. The warm masala base rounds it out, so the smoke stays full yet gentle. By tradition the lotus is a symbol of purity and unfolding, so its scent evokes for many a mood of calm and renewal.
When to reach for it
It is a wonderful companion for meditation, yoga or a quiet evening wind-down. The delicate floral scent comes through beautifully in a bathroom, bedroom or meditation corner.
Use and finish
A hand-rolled, traditional Indian masala stick, roughly 23 cm long, in a decorative hexagonal gift pack. Place it in a stable, non-flammable incense holder, light the tip, then blow out the flame so the ember glows on. Never leave burning incense unattended, and ventilate the room while it burns.
One lit stick, and the room settles within minutes – a quiet invitation to turn inward.
