Satya is best known for Nag Champa, but its range also includes the Natural series of single scents, solid dhoop cones that have no bamboo core, and hand-rolled sticks such as Vanilla. Dhoop cones are denser and thicker than ordinary cones, so burn them on a heat-safe dish and expect a heavier smoke.
Who is Satya?
Our product pages note that Satya has been making incense in Mysore, India since long before Nag Champa became a household word outside India. If you came for the classic scent, start with our Nag Champa guide. This guide covers the rest of the range, which you can browse in the Satya collection.
The Natural series
The Natural series gives each stick a single, easy-to-recognize scent. Our range includes Jasmine, Lavender, Patchouli and Rose. These are a good fit if you want a floral or earthy scent without a complex blend.
What is a dhoop cone?
Our product pages describe dhoop cones as rolled denser and thicker than standard incense cones, with no bamboo core or stick to support them. That gives them a heavier burn. Satya dhoop cones in our store include White Sage, Rose, Sandalwood, Dragon's Blood and Palo Santo. Browse more in the Satya cone incense collection.
How to burn a dhoop cone
- Set the cone on a heat-safe dish or burner cup on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Light the tip, let it flame briefly, then blow it out so it smolders.
- Let it burn down fully, and keep the room ventilated.
- Let the ash cool before you tip it out.
Satya sticks
The Satya Vanilla Incense Sticks are described as hand-rolled for a warm, sweet fragrance. Stand them in a holder that catches ash. See how to burn incense sticks and the incense holder and burner collection.
Backflow cones
Satya also makes backflow cones for a matching burner. See the Satya backflow cone collection and read how backflow incense works.
Staying safe
Burn incense in a ventilated room, away from flammable things, and never leave it unattended. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. Smoke can irritate some people, especially anyone with breathing problems.
