Rope incenses (dhoop) are one of the most original forms of Himalayan and Tibetan incense tradition: they are made from hand-twisted plant materials and produce a distinctive, concentrated fragrance. This set of six Nard plant rope incenses arrives from Nepal and carries the traditional fragrance of nard (spikenard) — a herb well known in ancient Middle Eastern and Indian tradition. Size: 12 × 5 cm.
Nard Fragrance — Ancient and Deeply Rooted Aroma
Nard (Nardostachys jatamansi) is a Himalayan herb that was valued among ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Jews as a precious perfume material and ritual incense. Its fragrance is earthy, balsamic, mildly woody and deeply spiritual in character — neither light nor sweet. When heated or burnt as rope incense, it provides a slow, sustained fragrance release that is a traditional companion to meditative and ritual spaces.
Rope Incense — the Form of the Himalayan Tradition
Rope incenses are made from twisted, natural plant materials — without binder or with minimal natural binder. They burn more slowly and evenly than stick incenses, and the fragrance is released over a longer period. The 12 × 5 cm size is compact and easy to handle. Six pieces are enough for several occasions and also make an excellent gift. The product originates from Nepal, one of the most renowned centres of Himalayan incense making.
