Natural resin incense is one of the oldest ways to scent a space and mark a moment: dried tree saps — Frankincense, Myrrh, Copal, Benzoin — gathered across the world and used for centuries in meditation, ritual and purification.
Resin incense from around the world – from Frankincense to rare botanical treasures
The collection brings together the great classic resins and a handful of rarer finds, for every level of practice:
Frankincense Resin incense from Oman, Somalia and Ethiopia — varying in character from resinous and rich to fresh and light depending on origin. One of the most widely used foundations for meditation and spiritual practice worldwide.
Myrrh A deep, balsamic resin from the arid regions of Africa and Arabia. Heavier and more grounding than Frankincense — well suited to moments of contemplation, stillness and inner purification.
Benzoin A warm, gently vanilla-like resin from Sumatra or Siam. Soothing and approachable — a natural starting point for anyone new to resin incense.
Copal Clear, light resins from Central America and Asia. Easy-melting and fresh in character — traditionally used for protection rituals and mental clarity.
Rare resins Dragon's blood from Socotra, Mastic from Chios, natural camphor, sal resin and monastery blends from Mount Athos. For those who want to explore further.
Liturgical blends Traditional Catholic incense compositions and orthodox monastery blends — for sacred ritual or simply for a very different kind of incense experience.
How to use resin incense – charcoal or incense warmer
Resin incense does not burn on its own and needs an external heat source. The classic method: light a charcoal tablet in a heat-resistant vessel — ceramic, stone or cast iron — let it glow fully, then place a small amount of resin on top. For a slower, lower-smoke experience, a mesh-screen warmer with a tea light preserves the more delicate aromatic notes and extends the fragrance considerably.
These resin incenses make a meaningful gift — an ancient practice, offered as a personal and unhurried invitation to wellbeing.
