Natural Dammar Resin from Indonesia
Dammar (also spelled Damar) is a natural incense resin obtained from trees of the genus Shorea. It comes from Indonesia and has long been used both as a natural raw material for varnishes and for traditional incense burning. When burned, Dammar develops a light, pleasantly fresh fragrance and is suitable for meditation, relaxation and naturally fragrancing living spaces.
In appearance, Dammar often resembles Chios mastic. Smaller, slightly powdery resin pieces in particular can easily be mistaken for mastic at first glance. The fragrances also share certain similarities, which is why Dammar is often appreciated as an interesting alternative for those who enjoy light, fresh incense resins.
In various incense traditions, Dammar is used to create a pleasant and harmonious atmosphere. Some incense practitioners use the resin symbolically to prepare for meditation or for burning incense in living spaces. These uses are based on traditional customs and personal experiences.
Dammar can be used both on glowing incense charcoal and in an incense burner with a sieve or metal plate. On incense charcoal, the resin melts slowly and releases its fragrance evenly.
Those who appreciate Dammar often combine it with frankincense, benzoin resin or mastic. Depending on the blend, different fragrance nuances can be created, ranging from fresh and light to warm and balsamic.
