Loban Dhoop Cones

The resin smoke of the evening aarti.

Loban is the oldest smoke in the Indian home: the resin burned at sandhya, carried from room to room on a small iron ladle. These cones keep that character. The smoke is thicker and more resinous than a floral, sweet at first and then dry and woody, the scent people remember from a grandparent's house.

Burn one when the day turns over. It is the most grounding fragrance in the jar range.

Every KiranDeep dhoop jar holds 100g of cones in a clear screw-top jar, so you can see how many are left and the fragrance stays sealed in between uses.
