Large spirals of incense were once hung above temple ceilings so that monks could light intense aromas to aid in meditation and prayer. The spiral shape condenses what would be a long stick of incense into a compact coil for a burning time of approximately 2 hours, much longer than ordinary incense sticks or cones. The Sonoran Desert series combines the Arizona landscape with ancient Eastern tradition. Each box contains 10 spirals for a collective 20 hours of sensory aroma.
Ocotillo Bloom: Inspired by the desert plant native to the Sonoran Desert, this fragrance is a fresh, soft scent with herbal notes of woodsy balsam.
Spring Arroyo: Named after the dry creeks of the Sonoran Desert, this fragrance contains floral notes with verdant bergamot.
Ironwood Thorn: The sturdy ironwood tree is indigenous to the Sonoran Desert. Bright notes of oud and tobacco balance out this warm, soothing scent.
