Why is sandalwood used in incense?

Sandalwood is the fragrant heartwood of the sandalwood tree (Santalum album). Its scent is mild and long-lasting, which made it one of the oldest and most used incense materials in India, Nepal and Tibet, both on its own and as a base for other blends.

How to use

1. Light the tip and let the flame burn for a few seconds.
2. Blow out the flame so the stick glows and smoulders.
3. Place it in an incense holder, or upright in a bowl of sand or rice, on a heat-proof surface.

Burn in a ventilated room and never leave burning incense unattended. Keep away from children and pets.
