The turquoise 22 cm box shows a small drawing of a tree and the words Tree of Life. Inside are Vedic incense sticks with a fresh, softly woody scent. They are made in India, and you receive one box.
The tree on the box
The tree of life is a familiar picture in Hungarian folk art too, often seen on embroidery and painted furniture. Its roots reach into the earth and its branches towards the sky. That makes it a kind gift for a new home, or for anyone who loves old motifs.
A fresh, woody scent for every day
The scent is neither floral nor fruity. It is softly woody with a touch of freshness, so it suits a living room, a study or a hallway. If you love the smell of a walk in the woods, it is worth a try. Where tastes differ in your family, this neutral, woody scent can be a good shared choice.
Blow out the flame once lit
The stick should glow, not flame, so blow it out after lighting. Put it in a heatproof holder away from anything flammable, and don't leave the room while it burns. Open a window so the smoke does not linger.
Ash falls along the length of the stick, so the holder's tray should run right under it. If you have a small round holder, put a ceramic saucer underneath.
Two Tree of Life scents to choose from
We also have a Satya Tree of Life incense in a 15 g pack. This Vedic version is easy to spot by its turquoise box, and the lettering on the box may be in English or Spanish.
