What makes Tibetan incense special
Unlike other types, Tibetan incense is usually made from blends of carefully selected plants, aromatic herbs and woods. Many of these recipes originate in traditional knowledge handed down through generations.
The aroma tends to be more herbal, earthy and natural than other varieties, giving distinctive profiles that are easy to recognise.
Natural Tibetan incense: built on tradition
Natural Tibetan incense uses plant-based ingredients present in the Tibetan aromatic tradition. These compositions tend to incorporate different aromatic plants and natural extracts that give real olfactory richness.
Thanks to that combination of ingredients, each fragrance develops facets of its own, for an aromatic experience that feels authentic and genuinely different.
