The Temple of Incense Incense Sticks

Say bye-bye to bad vibes. Light these white sage incense sticks to cleanse, purify and protect.

White Sage incense has an earthy, herbaceous quality. The scent is fresh and crisp, like the smell of the earth after rain, with a subtle bitterness that grounds the senses.

As it burns, the fragrance deepens into a smoky warmth, with hints of resinous sweetness and a touch of camphor, evoking a sense of cleansing and renewal. The mint brightens the whole burn leaving a pleasant after-scent that stays in the air for a long time. Overall, it’s a fragrant journey that feels spiritual and grounding, offering a peaceful yet powerful energy.

Ingredients: white sage essential oil, white sage leaves, jigat (natural wood masala base), camphor oil, mint oil, bamboo.

Hand-rolled real Mysore Sandalwood incense sticks are the perfect choice when looking for meditation and yoga incense. Known in India as ‘Chandan’, meaning golden- an emperor scent – ideal for a temple-at-home feel.

The scent of sandalwood incense is distinctively complex, starting with a warm, dry, and woody base. The initial impression is smooth and slightly resinous, offering a natural woodiness that is neither harsh nor sharp. As the incense burns, the fragrance deepens and evolves, revealing a creamy quality that gives it a soft, velvety texture. This subtle creaminess adds a comforting roundness to the scent, balancing the more earthy, woody notes.

There’s also a gentle, almost sweet undertone in the background, reminiscent of honey or vanilla, though it’s not overpowering. This sweetness blends seamlessly with the wood, adding depth without making the fragrance too sugary or floral. As the incense continues to burn, it may release hints of smokiness, though it’s not as intense as some other incense types. The overall result is a fragrance that feels rich yet smooth, earthy yet comforting, and deeply grounding, often evoking feelings of calmness and introspection.

Create such an ambience, that your prayer reaches the Divine with TOI sandalwood incense.

Jasmine is the sacred flower of the Hindu God of love, Kama. It has been used for centuries as an ingredient for love potions to capture or rekindle the affection of a loved one. Its sweet, exotic and highly floral scent works both as an aphrodisiac and an anti-depressant.
