Seventeen hand-rolled incense sticks. One from every scent in the range. The complete Worldly Aromas collection in a single box — the right place to begin, and the most considered gift in the range.
Every scent in this box has been sourced from a specific place, made from a specific material, and hand-rolled using a recipe carried across generations. The Selection Box puts all seventeen together in one place, so you can work through the range at your own pace and find the scents that belong in your life.
It is also the only way to experience the full breadth of what this range does in a single purchase — from the ancient resinous weight of frankincense and myrrh to the luminous warmth of Mysore sandalwood, the dark complexity of Oud Noir, and the sacred-wood character of palo santo. Seventeen materials. Seventeen traditions. Seventeen forty-five-minute burns.
Every stick is made from pure essential oils and natural ingredients. No synthetic fragrance. No chemicals. No filler. The quality is identical to every full pack in the range — this is not a sampler made to a lower standard. It is the range itself, one stick at a time.
What is in the box
Each stick is numbered and corresponds to a menu included in the box, so you always know what you are burning. The seventeen scents are:
- Agarwood — warm, woody, and deeply resinous. One of the most valued aromatic materials in the world.
- Myrrh — bittersweet and ancient. The resin of the Commiphora tree, traded for over five thousand years.
- Frankincense — clean, resinous, and bright. The reference point for quality incense since antiquity.
- Sandalwood — warm and creamy, with the distinctive woody depth of genuine Indian sandalwood oil.
- Blue Lotus — delicate and sacred. A floral material with deep roots in Egyptian and South Asian ritual.
- Hari-Leela — a devotional blend built around the aromatic traditions of North Indian ceremony.
- Palo Santo and Oud — naturally fallen South American wood meets agarwood. Grounding, warm, and complex.
- Oud Black Absolute — the most charcoal-forward oud in the range. Defined, sharp, and precise.
- Nepal Musk — soft, warm, and animalic. A material with a long history in Himalayan aromatic tradition.
- Vrindavan Champa — a classic Indian floral blend rooted in the champa flower and its sacred associations.
- Mysore Sandalwood — single-origin from Karnataka. A richer, more concentrated expression of the world's most prized sandalwood region.
- Shiromani Chandan — a refined sandalwood blend that draws on the Indian classical tradition of chandan as a ceremonial material.
- Opium — richly complex. Floral, oriental, and dark, with layers that develop across the full burn.
- Laos Agarwood — single-origin oud from Laos, with a distinct character that differs meaningfully from other agarwood sources.
- Oud Noir — the darkest and most concentrated expression of agarwood in the range. Leathery, deep, and uncompromising.
- Cedarwood — dry, structured, and quietly authoritative. A clean woody material with a long history in ceremony and everyday use across many cultures.
- Amber — warm, sweet, and resinous. A complex blend of vanilla, tonka bean, and frankincense that builds slowly and holds long after the stick has finished.
Why start here
The Selection Box is the most efficient way to find your scents. Buying seventeen individual packs to sample the range would cost considerably more and take considerably longer. This box gives you a single stick from each — enough to experience the character of the material, understand how it burns, and decide which ones belong in your home on a regular basis.
It is also one of the most consistently reviewed products on the site, with 49 customer reviews — more than any other product in the range. The people who buy it come back to buy the full packs of the scents they have discovered. That is exactly what it is designed to do.
Why it works as a gift
The Selection Box is the single strongest gift in the range, for several reasons.
It removes the need to guess. Rather than choosing one scent for someone whose preferences you may not know precisely, you give them all seventeen and let them find their own. The numbered menu inside the box makes the experience clear and considered rather than confusing.
It introduces someone to a quality of incense most people have never experienced. The difference between a hand-rolled stick made with pure essential oils and a mass-produced synthetic alternative is immediately apparent to anyone who burns both. The Selection Box makes that introduction across seventeen materials and seventeen traditions.
It presents well. The box is packed in uncoated kraft paper in keeping with the rest of the range — understated, considered, and without the over-designed aesthetic that marks a product as having spent more on its packaging than its contents.
It is equally appropriate as a gift for someone who already burns incense and wants to explore further, and for someone who has never tried it and deserves a better starting point than a supermarket shelf.
How to use
Place the stick in a ceramic or stone holder. Light the tip and allow it to catch for thirty seconds. Blow gently until the flame subsides. Each stick will burn for approximately forty-five minutes.
Work through the box methodically if you can — burn each stick on its own, in a quiet room, without other strong scents present. This gives each material the space to be understood on its own terms before you start comparing. The numbered menu makes it easy to keep track of which scents you are returning to and which ones you want to buy in full.

Spring water, pure bamboo charcoal, sandalwood powder, vanilla powder, gum elemi, makko powder, tragacanth gum, Arabic gum, gum opoponax, gum labdanum, gum copal, mastic, gum dammar, myrrh resin, frankincense resin. Pure essential oils specific to each scent.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know which stick is which?
Each stick is numbered, and the box includes a printed menu that corresponds to each number. You always know exactly what you are burning.
Are these the same quality as the full packs?
Yes. Every stick in the Selection Box is made to exactly the same standard as the full packs sold individually. The ingredients, the grade, and the recipe are identical. This is not a lower-quality sampler — it is one stick from each full-size product in the range.
Is this suitable for someone who has never burned incense before?
Yes. It is the ideal starting point. The numbered menu makes the experience clear and easy to navigate, and the range of seventeen scents covers everything from light florals and clean woods to deep resins and complex oriental blends, so there is something in the box that will suit almost any preference.
Which scents are most popular?
Based on customer reviews and sales data, frankincense, sandalwood, oud noir, palo santo and oud, amber, and opium are consistently among the most reordered products after customers have worked through the Selection Box. That said, the materials that surprise people most are often the ones they had not considered — Nepal musk, Laos agarwood, cedarwood, and Mysore sandalwood in particular.
How long does the full box take to burn through?
At one stick per day, the box lasts seventeen days. Most customers take longer — burning one stick every few days gives each material more space and makes the experience of comparing scents considerably more considered.
Can I buy full packs of the scents I discover?
Yes. Every scent in the Selection Box is available as a full pack in the incense collection. Once you have found your favourites, buying the full pack gives you 8-20 sticks at a meaningfully lower cost per stick than the Selection Box rate.
Is it safe to burn indoors?
Yes. All sticks contain no synthetic materials, chemical accelerants, or artificial binders. Burn in a ventilated room with a proper holder placed on a heat-safe surface. Keep away from draughts, children, and pets. Never leave a burning stick unattended.
