What's the difference between incense sticks, cones and dhoop?

Sticks burn slowly on a bamboo core for 30 to 60 minutes and give a steady, mid-strength aroma. Cones are denser and burn for around 20 to 25 minutes with a stronger, more concentrated scent. Dhoop is solid and rod-shaped, made entirely of compressed incense paste with no core, and produces the heaviest, most traditional Indian temple-style fragrance.

Is Satya Nag Champa good quality?

Yes. Satya is the original maker of Nag Champa, hand-rolled at their Bengaluru factory using a masala blend of resins, herbs and natural oils. It is widely regarded as the benchmark for affordable everyday incense and is a go-to for yoga studios, meditation rooms and home use across the UK. Each box gives several weeks of daily burning at a few pence per stick.

How do I choose an incense scent for meditation versus daily home use?

For meditation and focus, woody, resinous scents such as sandalwood, frankincense and Nag Champa work well because they are calming without being overpowering. For daily home use, pick lighter, sweeter blends such as vanilla, lavender or fruit-based scents that mask cooking smells without dominating the room. Start with one stick at a time and adjust if the scent feels too strong.

How long does a box of incense sticks last?

A standard 15g Satya box contains around 12 sticks. If you burn one stick a day, the box lasts roughly two weeks; one stick every other day gets you a month. Larger gift packs and bulk packs can last several months. Keep sticks sealed when not in use, as exposure to air slowly weakens the fragrance.

Are incense sticks safe to use indoors with pets?

Use sparingly and always with good ventilation. The smoke from any incense can irritate the airways of small animals, especially birds, cats and small dogs. Burn in a different room from your pets, open a window, and avoid daily multi-stick sessions in enclosed spaces. If a pet starts coughing or sneezing, switch to lighter alternatives such as a reed diffuser or wax melt.

Incense Sticks and Cones: Hand-Rolled Fragrance for UK Homes

Klevaro's incense range brings together sticks, cones and dhoop from trusted makers such as Satya, plus a steady stream of seasonal and themed gift sets. Most boxes contain enough sticks for several months of regular use, making incense one of the cheapest ways to keep a room consistently fragrant. Whether you light incense for meditation, yoga, evening relaxation or simply to mask cooking smells, the right scent shifts the feel of a space in seconds. Pair sticks with one of our wooden or brass holders from the incense holders collection.

Satya Superhit and Traditional Indian Blends

Satya is the most recognised Indian incense brand worldwide, and their Superhit, Nag Champa, Yoga Ritual and Athma lines make up a large slice of our range. These are masala-style sticks: a rolled paste of resins, herbs and natural oils on a bamboo core, which burns slowly and produces a fuller, more rounded aroma than dipped synthetic sticks. Buyers tell us Satya is a reliable choice for daily meditation, family puja and general home scenting alike. We also stock a small but growing range of niche makers for variety.

Incense Cones, Gift Sets and Seasonal Picks

Cones produce a more concentrated burst of fragrance over 20 to 25 minutes, which makes them ideal for a quick scent refresh before guests arrive or after cooking. Look out for our Carrot Cake, Dragon's Blood and Sandalwood cone sets, plus larger novelty assortments that include cones, sticks and a holder in one box, perfect as a gift. For something a little different, see the dramatic falling-smoke effect of the backflow burners and cones collection.

How to Burn Incense Safely

Always use a stable, heatproof holder that catches the ash, and place it on a non-flammable surface away from curtains, paper and pets. Light the tip of the stick or cone, let it flame for a few seconds, then gently blow it out so the ember glows. One stick typically burns for 30 to 60 minutes; air the room for 10 minutes afterwards to avoid lingering smoke. Store unused sticks in a sealed tin or zip bag to preserve the aroma.

Pairing Incense with Holders and Burners

The right holder makes everyday burning safer and easier to clean. Long wooden ash-catcher trays suit standard sticks because they collect every fleck of ash; brass bowls with a sand bed work for both sticks and cones and look stylish on a sideboard. Cone burners should have a small recessed dish to contain the dense ash a cone produces. Many UK shoppers keep two holders going: one in the living room for evening use and one in a meditation or yoga corner. Combined orders of sticks plus a holder ship together and save on postage.
