Neroli is the scent of orange blossom, bright and clean with a subtle sweetness underneath. It smells the way a sunny kitchen feels in the morning. Light a stick while the kettle boils as you begin your day.

After a good rain on the westcoast, the whole forest smells of cedar. This one burns low and even, dry and woody, imparting a sense of groundedness. Pair it with meditation or journalling.

Suited to: Meditation, journalling, rainy days

This incense smells like hiking a trail on Mt Gardner, Bowen Island's tallest peak, cool and fresh. A single clean note of pine clears the head and leaves a room smelling freshly aired. Burn one the morning after a dinner party with the windows cracked open.

Aroma: Coniferous, fresh, green

Suited to: Mornings after guests, cleaning day, open windows

Light the tip of the incense stick and let it catch for a few seconds, then gently blow out the flame so the tip glows and releases a steady stream of smoke. Place upright in a heat-safe incense holder. Never leave burning incense unattended, and keep away from children, pets, drafts, and anything flammable.

Charcoal-free: Each stick has a bamboo core coated in natural wood powder and plant resins, with no charcoal.

Hand-dipped: Each stick is dipped by hand in fragrance oils free of parabens, alcohol and phthalates, along with botanical hydrosols and herbal infusions blended for each scent.
