INCENSE CATEGORIES
Our incense line has grown so much that we've split each kind (Sticks, Cones, Smudge Sticks, Resins) into their own pages for easier selection. We still carefully
choose each and every scent we carry for quality, and continually strive to bring you unique varieties that you won't find elsewhere at near-wholesale prices!

• FRED SOLL INCENSE - Fred, like a fine chef, has perfected the art of blending and preparing his
incense. The incense making process is an intricate one that can take up to two weeks for each batch. The incense is dipped, powdered, and then dried in the brilliant New Mexico sun. His incense is so rich because he uses powdered resins rather than oils which countless other incense manufacturers
utilize. The manual labor is intensive, but to him, worth it. Each stick of Fred Soll incense burns at least an hour and a half, some scents even burn up to three hours. Fred refuses to compromise his standards, gathering only
the highest quality pure resins, essential oils, and herbs. For this, we are proud to carry his line of incense sticks.

• GONESH INCENSE - In 1923, a Lithuanian immigrant named Radzukinas acquired a small company, The Hindu Incense Company. For business purposes, he changed his name to Radkins and changed the fortune of his small company by dedicating himself to the
manufacture of quality charcoal incense cones and incense burners. In the mid-sixties, the second generation of the Radkins family entered the business and Genieco, Inc. was born. Soon, the product offering was expanded to include incense sticks. The new brand name was GONESH®, named after the Hindu Elephant
Boy, the God of Luck. Not only is Gonesh known for its quality incense, it's known for its commitment to the community.

• INDIAN INCENSE - Nag Champa incense is made from fragrant champak flowers and other natural herbs from the Mysore region of South India. When burned, it creates a sweet enchanting fragrance which will linger long after the sticks have finished burning. The
champak flower is renowned for its cooling effect on the mind. It is often used along with Sandalwood in religious rituals to purify and calm the mind before worship. This is the single-most popular incense brand in the world.

• JAPANESE INCENSE - Brought to Japan in the Sixth century by Buddhist monks who used the mystical aromas in their purification rites, the delicate scents of Koh (Japanese high quality incense) became a source of amusement and entertainment with nobles in the
Imperial Court during the Heian Era 200 years later. What the Japanese call Koh-Do, or incense appreciation, has long been the spiritual nourishment of Japanese culture. Modern practitioners of this elegant art now use incense to
enhance the ambiance of their homes or offices, to entertain guests, to celebrate special occasions, to relax the body and calm the mind after a trying day and to soothe tired nerves before retiring.

• TIBETAN INCENSE - Out Tibetan incense is hand prepared by several monastic orders in Tibet according to fundamental principles of ancient traditional systems of medicine that originated from some 2500 years ago. This incense is totally absent of camphor
smells and is also non-toxic. Generally Tibetan incense is used for puja offering and purification but is is also used as air-freshener which keeps one's surrounding flavored with good scents. Of all the kinds of incense available, we love this kind the most.
