About Satya Patchouli Forest Incense
We don’t keep it a secret that we are in the camp of patchouli lovers. We are aware that patchouli can be somewhat polarizing. Those that tend to dislike it describe it as smelling like dirt, dirty unwashed bodies, swampy, etc. Those that do like it describe a sweetish, earthy, spicy quality. How can we…

About Amethyst Incense
No matter how much we try, some incenses defy us to easily define them. Amethyst Incense is one of those most challenging selections to describe.

About Our Incense Sleeves
Normally, we would feel a twinge of remorse packing up all of these incenses, giving out samples and all of that and create such a mess with so many plastic sleeves. That’s one reason why we use cellophane rather than plastic. Plastic is much easier to come by, and it’s considerably less expensive, but cellophane…
