"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. However most people would be surprised to learn of the inferior materials used in much cheap 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 can be the cause of headaches and are also 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 handmade stick incense (agarbatti), imported directly from where they are made in the holy mountains of the Indian Himalayas following the traditional style of incense making. We also list a selection of popular quality and natural Indian sticks and cones (dhoop)

For something different try Japanese 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. Or RESIN INCENSE, used since Biblical days - aromatic gums, herbs and wood warmed over charcoal discs to release their fragrant smoke. We also stock Smudge Sticks, traditionally used by Native Americans to purify and cleanse

AROMA QUEEN 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 starting point for those wanting to try something new.
