The Sweet Balsam of Styrax
Styrax (Styrax calamitus) is a sweet, balsamic, slightly spicy resin with a warm, soft smoke. Tradition holds it as a scent for a calm, homely space.
Composition
Styrax resin (styrax calamitus – indonesia, sumatra).
How to Use
The resin is traditionally burned by sprinkling it onto glowing charcoal or an incense sieve; on a sieve the embers release the scent more slowly and gently. A few grains are plenty for one session. Use it in a well-ventilated room on a heatproof surface.
Good to Know
This is a natural resin, so the size, colour and shade of the grains may vary a little from piece to piece — the mark of a real, unprocessed material. Keep it well sealed in a cool, dry place and it will last a long time.
