Shalimar Saffron Sandal Incense sticks

Shalimar Saffron Sandal Incense Sticks from India

Shalimar Saffron Sandal combines the warm spice of saffron with the smooth, woody character of sandalwood. This well-known Indian fragrance profile brings a rich, comforting scent to the home and is a good choice for anyone who enjoys warm, woody and gently spiced incense.

These incense sticks are made in India and reflect a traditional scent combination often known as Kesar Chandan. “Kesar” means saffron, while “Chandan” means sandalwood. The result is a distinctive Indian incense fragrance with a warm, balanced character that suits everyday use as well as quieter moments.

What does Shalimar Saffron Sandal smell like?

The fragrance opens with a warm, dry saffron note. Sandalwood adds a soft, creamy woodiness that gives the scent depth and balance. Together, they create a calm, gently spiced aroma with a clear woody base.

This scent is especially suited to those who enjoy sandalwood, Indian spice fragrances and traditional incense. It is less floral than rose or jasmine incense and instead focuses on a warm, woody, and softly spiced profile.

The slim box also makes a thoughtful small gift for anyone who enjoys Indian incense, sandalwood or warm home fragrances.

Why saffron and sandalwood?

Saffron adds a warm, dry and gently spiced accent. Sandalwood contributes a soft, smooth and woody character. Together, they form a traditional fragrance style commonly found in Indian incense and often described as Kesar Chandan.

How to use

Place one incense stick securely in a suitable, heat-resistant incense holder. Light the coated tip and allow the flame to burn for a few seconds. Gently blow out the flame so that the stick continues to smoulder and release its fragrance.

Make sure the holder catches all falling ash. Use the incense in a well-ventilated room, and ventilate the space again afterwards.
