Cedarwood Dhoop Incense Gift Set, 30 Sticks

Light a cedarwood dhoop stick when the room needs a slower edge: warm, woody smoke, a small glowing ember, and a few quiet minutes to mark the shift from busy to still.

Cedarwood brings a particularly simple character to that practice: dry, warm and woody, without the softness of rose or the sweetness of vanilla.
