Mysore Sandal Dhoop Incense Cones come from KSDL, the same maker behind Mysore Sandal Soap and the Mysore Sandal Agarbathies sticks in our range, this time in cone form rather than a stick - twenty cones to a box, made from premium sandal oil in a traditionally blended aromatic paste.
A cone burns differently from a stick: rather than a slow burn down a bamboo core, a cone sits in a dish and releases its fragrance from a compact, self-contained shape, which tends to throw scent a bit more strongly for its size - useful for a larger room or a stronger, more immediate aroma.
The sandalwood aroma here carries the same authentic, heritage character as KSDL's other sandalwood products, which is a real point of consistency for anyone who already knows and likes their stick incense and wants the same fragrance family in cone form.
It suits pooja, meditation, yoga, or relaxation equally well, and works for auspicious or festive occasions where a stronger, longer-lingering sandalwood scent is the goal. For a larger space, use one or two cones depending on room size rather than assuming one will always be enough.
Cones also tend to leave less residue scattered around them than a stick, since the compact shape burns down contained within its dish rather than dropping ash along a stick length - a small practical advantage for anyone burning incense on a shelf or altar they would rather not sweep as often.
Light the tip, let it burn for a few seconds, then blow out the flame, and place the cone on a fire-safe dish or holder away from curtains or drafts. Explore stick and cone incense together in our Incense Sticks collection and the wider Incense collection.
