Long time fans of TRiCKETT will know that I am a huge fan of incense. More or less every day at HQ starts with me lighting some and feeling a sense of calm before 40 different couriers land with boxes of things that I had forgotten that I had ordered and I have to sort them all out. So for our new range of incense we went to one of the original birthplaces of incense, India and came up with a couple of scents that will definitely make you day smell better.
This scent is called ‘The house of incense’ as it makes me sound like I own a company which has made incense since the 1600s, when in fact this idea is, at best, 16 days old, but still looks good. The incense is a mix of geranium, vetiver, sandalwood, musk and moss, which are basically all of my favourite things in one scent. There is something super unique about this in that it smells a bit like a classy aftershave mixed with an old shop that sells sportswear… you will know what I mean when you start burning it. For some reason I like this best when burnt in the evening, just as the sun is going down.
Each pack comes with 12 sticks to burn and is hand rolled in India by a family firm that has been doing it for generations. Traditional incense can be a little bit dusty when you first get it as it doesn’t have the preservatives in it to make the stick more solid, that the more commercial sticks have. As a result, our incense is full of scent and fills a room much better, I promise you’ll notice.
The sticks come in a custom-made box with our exclusive artwork, which to be fair is probably worth paying the money for, Hindi on one side and English on the other. Maybe just show the Hindi side to friends and you can pretend to them that you can read it. So start/end your day right with some beautiful incense made the traditional way.
Incense Safety: Always use a suitable incense holder and place on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Never leave burning incense unattended. Keep out of reach of children and pets, and away from flammable materials.
