Potala Raw Tibetan Incense – thick sticks, dense smoke and woody scent
This raw Tibetan incense is made from plant powders and aromatic woods compressed into thick sticks, without a visible bamboo core.
Its dense format offers a different burn from classic thin incenses. The smoke appears gradually, with a more pronounced presence in the space and a dry, woody, sometimes earthier smell depending on the room, ventilation, and burn time.
Each bundle is hand-tied with a thin red thread and may show visible irregularities in texture, cut, and surface. These variations are part of the raw aspect of this type of incense.
INFORMATION
This incense is for people who are looking for a denser olfactory presence than a thin stick. The wider diameter changes the burn rate and produces more visible smoke.
It can accompany a moment of reading, tea, writing, or a calm break in a ventilated space. As its scent is more pronounced, it is best to start with a short burn in a small room.
The sticks may have slight differences in shape, surface, or thickness. This may slightly alter the burn from one stick to another.

🤍 Ikane workshop tip
The thicker format produces denser smoke than classic fine incense. In a small room, start with a short burn, then ventilate after use to maintain a balanced olfactory presence.
