"Thus aloeswood, from which no fragrance came
If placed on fire, in inodorous state,
Will change, more sweet than ambergris"
Sadi, Persian Poet
Incense is the perfect way to relax, meditate or deodorise. But most people
would be surprised to learn of the inferior materials used in the majority of cheap
modern incense - ingredients such as coal powder, used motor oils & melted
tyres, and even albumen powder derived from the blood of slaughtered animals
and used as a binding agent. These inferior incense sticks also use synthetic
perfumes and fragrances, which are believed to produce harmful carbon
dioxide gas when burnt
As with all of our products, AROMA QUEEN aims to stock only the most natural of
incense, free from animal products and artificial fragrances. Choose from our
own very special imported HANDMADE HIMALAYAN stick incense (agarbatti),
imported directly from India where they are made in the holy mountains of the
Indian Himalayas following the traditional style of incense making as used by the
great Rishis (seers). We also list a selection of popular quality Indian sticks and
cones (dhoop)
For something different try Japanese MORNING STAR or KA-FUH organic koh,
delicate sticks of incense without the bamboo inner core, producing more subtle
fragrances and less smoke than Indian incense - the perfect accompaniment for
a relaxing bath. Then there is INCENSE RESIN, used since Biblical days - aromatic
gums, herbs and woods warmed over charcoal discs to release their fragrant
smoke. We also stock Smudge Sticks, as used by Native Americans to purify and
cleanse
Aroma Queen also carries a large range of incense holders, boxes and censers,
imported from all round the globe, as well as PACKS & KITS that make great gifts,
or are the perfect way to try out a new type of incense
