Amrita Incense

20 x 25 cm sticks in a box

The Mother's India Fragrances are made with a wide range of aromatic gums, resins, woodpowders, essential oils and perfumes. The key ingredient however, is a native Indian resin called Halmaddi (also known as Mattipal). Halmaddi is a soft, gum like resin obtained from the Ailanthus Malabarica tree by making incisions in the bark. Halmaddi is treacle-like when it is fresh and hardens to a brittle resin with a strong balsamic odour. When mixed with honey, its balsamic fragrance is sweetened further. The combination of halmaddi and honey creates the basis for the sweet, long burning incense that is The Mother's India Fragrances.
