Handmade Sandalwood Incense from Auroville, India

Discover the warm, woody and deeply comforting aroma of traditional Sandalwood incense, handcrafted in the international community of Auroville in southern India.

Each incense stick begins with a slender bamboo support, cut by hand from a bamboo stem. Around this, artisans carefully roll a natural aromatic mixture made from resins, sandalwood powders, roots, bark and flowers, bound together using an extract obtained from cinnamon tree sap.

The incense is scented exclusively with the addition of 100% certified organic essential oils, creating a naturally aromatic experience without relying on conventional synthetic fragrance.

Every stick is individually hand-rolled and left to dry naturally in the sun before being placed into beautiful artisanal packaging made from handmade paper and decorated with dried natural flowers.

The result is much more than an incense stick. It carries the craftsmanship, botanical materials and traditional incense-making techniques of India into your home.

A little history

Incense craftsmanship in Auroville

Auroville is an international community in southern India founded with the vision of bringing together people from different cultures and backgrounds.

The incense made there reflects a traditional, highly manual approach to incense production. Each bamboo support is cut by hand before artisans roll the aromatic botanical mixture around it. The finished sticks are then dried naturally in the sun.

Even the packaging continues this artisanal approach, using handmade paper decorated with dried natural flowers.

Profits from the sale of these incense sticks contribute towards the shared infrastructure of the village of Auroville, connecting each packet with the community in which it is produced.

Precautions for use

Burn incense only in a suitable incense holder on a stable, heat-resistant surface.

Never leave burning incense unattended. Keep away from flammable materials, children and animals. Use in a well-ventilated room.

Packaging & storage
