At a glance
- Eight bombs per box
- About 30 minutes each
-
Big opening burst of smoke, then a steady aromatic burn
-
Lavender — sweet and herbal, the calm end of the range
-
Produces a lot of smoke — start away from smoke detectors
How to use it
-
Use a heat-proof dish or a proper burner — a bomb burns hot and sits directly on the surface.
-
Light it and let it flame for a few seconds, then blow it out and let it smoulder.
-
Open a window before you light, not after. The first burst is the whole point and it is substantial.
-
Clear the space first, then scent it. A bomb to clear, a stick to settle.
-
Never leave it unattended, and keep it well away from curtains, alarms and anything that catches.

✨ Temple Tip — the first ninety seconds are the product
Everything a bomb is good at happens at the start — the thick initial burst that a stick cannot produce. So light it in the room you actually want cleared, not in the hallway, and be standing there when it goes. Afterwards it settles into an ordinary aromatic burn that any incense could have given you.
Questions we get asked
How many are in a box?
Eight bombs, each burning around thirty minutes.
Is it really that smoky?
Yes. Smoke-cleansing products produce significant smoke while burning — that is what they are for. Ventilate, and begin your practice away from smoke detectors.
Which scent should I start with?
Lavender is the gentlest and the easiest to live with indoors. Scent options for this box appear on this page.
Do I need a special burner?
Any heat-proof dish works — a ceramic bowl, an ash catcher, a proper burner. The bomb sits directly on the surface and it gets hot, so nothing wooden or painted.
Can I return it?
No. Incense is a consumable and this item is non-returnable. If something arrives damaged, write to us and we will make it right.
Burn safely: Always burn in a heat-proof holder on a stable, non-flammable surface, in a well-ventilated room. Never leave a burning stick, bomb or disk unattended. Keep away from children, pets, curtains and anything that catches. Smoke-cleansing products give off a lot of smoke — start away from smoke detectors. Store dry and out of direct sun. A ritual object, not a remedy: traditional associations described here are traditions of association, not claims of physical or psychological effect, and nothing here is medical advice.
Clear the room first. Everything else after. #TempleOfDesire
