Sage is the cleansing herb everyone knows; benzoin is the warm balsamic resin underneath it that keeps the whole thing from smelling like a cleaning product. Together they make an incense for the front end of something rather than the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe maker frames it plainly — light it, breathe, let the past go and leave the future open. From the Ritual line. The maker states this is the only incense line in its home country built on fruit biomass rather than charcoal — an upcycling choice that cuts the charcoal load considerably. Hand-rolled, roughly an hour per stick, made to be extinguished and relit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScent: sage and benzoin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit biomass base\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than a charcoal one\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrom the Ritual line\u003c\/strong\u003e — black and gold packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbout 60 minutes per stick\u003c\/strong\u003e — extinguish and relight for multiple sessions from one stick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandmade, hand-rolled and hand-packaged\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;\"\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight it at the start of something\u003c\/strong\u003e — a new month, a new project, a morning you want to run differently.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBreathe first, then set the intention.\u003c\/strong\u003e The maker suggests focusing on a point of light at the heart; any fixed image works.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat-proof holder on a stable surface\u003c\/strong\u003e, ventilated room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTen minutes, not sixty.\u003c\/strong\u003e Extinguish in sand and keep the rest for the next start.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWrite the intention down\u003c\/strong\u003e while it is still burning.
