Incense sticks from India: hand-rolled fragrance

Incense sticks from India, known as agarbatti, are hand-rolled with natural resins, herbs, flowers and oils in Bengaluru, Mysuru and other fragrance centres. India is the world’s largest maker of incense, and the tradition goes back thousands of years.

When buyers ask about incense, we ask about fragrance profile, burn type and packaging. Wellness stores, gift shops and spiritual retailers each have different needs.

Questions about incense sticks from India

Yes, with a minimum per scent.

Do you offer charcoal-free incense?

Yes.

Choosing fragrances for your market

Sandalwood and nag champa are classics that sell everywhere. Floral fragrances like rose and jasmine are popular in gift shops, while lavender, sage and eucalyptus suit wellness and yoga stores. Five or six fragrances is a good starting range.

What affects the price

Ingredients, stick length, burn time and packaging matter most. Natural masala incense and charcoal-free sticks cost a little more than standard dipped incense, and gift boxes add to the cost.
