Bring the grounding presence of Himalayan monasteries into your personal sanctuary. The time-honored Potala Traditional Incense by Pimco Incense has been a beloved favorite in specialty shops for decades. Named after the iconic Potala Palace, the historical heart of Tibetan Buddhism, this authentic blend is crafted without a bamboo core. It releases a dense, sacred smoke that is perfect for traditional offerings, energy clearing, or simply establishing a serene, contemplative atmosphere at home.
Fragrance Profile: A rich woody, herbal, and earthy aroma driven by warm cedar and sandalwood, layered with dried mountain herbs, resinous undertones, and warm spices like cardamom, clove, and nutmeg.
Proudly handcrafted in Nepal, this traditional incense is formulated from a precise blend of medicinal herbs, aromatic woods, resins, and spices native to the high-altitude Himalayan regions. Unlike heavily oiled Indian incense sticks, Potala delivers a raw, dry, and traditional temple fragrance. The recipe includes a creamy note of sandalwood that makes it beautifully smooth and highly accessible. Every single stick is made without bamboo sticks, synthetic dyes, or overpowering artificial fragrances, ensuring a slow, steady burn and a pure botanical experience.
Light the tip of the thick Tibetan incense stick and allow it to flame for a brief moment. Gently blow it out so that it begins to smoulder and release its aromatic smoke. Because Tibetan incense is solid and coreless, it requires a specialized burner with a wide hole, or it can be rested horizontally on a bed of ash or sand inside a heat-safe bowl. It provides an excellent ambient backdrop for meditation, yoga sessions, deep relaxation, or space clearing rituals. Always burn in a well-ventilated area and never leave it unattended.
