Mothers India Incense Sticks
The Mother's India Fragrances are a special and unique range of certified Fair Trade incenses, featuring beautiful, powerful blends, hand-rolled in the traditional way, with pure and natural ingredients. They are based on traditional Indian incense, with a honey and resin base called Mattipal. This resin gives the incense its full, sweet scent, and makes the sticks soft to touch. Each box contains 20 sticks, which burn for approx. 1 hour. A donation of 5p per pack is given to charities who work with some of the poorest people in the world. Available in a variety of nine beautiful aromas:
Ganesh: "Ganesh is virtually one of the finest durbars to have been created by human hand, it's a triumph of the incense making art (...) It's so rich, decadent and astonishingly good that even one stick will have one reeling in amazement that one could hit such a perfect match of ingredients. Every incense lover owes themselves a treat such as this."
This is how Mike McLatchey described Ganesh incense in his incense blog ORS...high recommendation indeed! (durbar is incense based on Mattipal).
Prem is a perfect blend of jasmine, ylang ylang and cedar with a base of woody resins, it is pure, fresh, sweet and lively. Prem means 'love', heavenly love, and this is the incense to embody it.
Sattva is a modern fragrance, bold and confident yet balanced and pure. Strong like the other India fragrances, and a worthy addition to the range. Sattva is very well suited to meditation.
Shanti Nagchampa With a woody base, and blended beautifully with rose and jasmine, this fragrance has its roots in the traditional temple fragrance of India, and is reminiscent of the classic Nag Champa incense of old. It is based on the sweet and delicate aroma of the Indian golden Champa flower, also known as the flower of paradise. Shanti Nag Champa is ideal for use in meditation or for unwinding and relaxing.
