It looks like small sticks of liquorice, but has a texture similar to slightly sticky plasticine... so you can mould it to whatever shape you like, although it burns best as a stick or thin cone. The fragrance is fresh and slightly resinous, consisting of loban (benzoin), with a touch of bergamot and lavender. It's quite distinctive and individual - the essence of summer in India! A box contains approximately 40g of dhoop, extruded as eight 3 inch (8cm) long sticks, each of which can easily burn for 90 minutes (an hour and a half), depending on conditions and the shape used.JUST £1.29 per box, plus post & packing. * FOR EVEN BETTER VALUE, ORDER 5 BOXES & GET A SIXTH BOX FREE! * OR CLICK HERE TO SAVE 25% ON A PACK OF 12 BOXES!
