How to choose Damascus incense

The choice of Damascus incense can be difficult due to its wide variety. Among them, there are such flavors that are not found among analogs from other countries. Various incense from India common on the Russian market is somewhat similar in strong woody-spicy shades that cover the smell of a burnt wooden base in the frame on which the aromatic mixture is applied. 

The woody smell is enhanced if the aromatic essence is burned by charcoal applied to the wooden rod. Unlike Indian incense, Damascus incense is made without a charcoal base and emits a pure aroma without impurities when smoldering.

Incenses from Tibet and Nepal are made without a wooden base and charcoal, but, since they are overwhelmingly complex, they generally differ in grassy shades. Some samples of the economy segment have an insufficiently dense mass, the sticks break and crumble in the hands. Unlike them, stick incense from Damascus, although they are smaller in size (the length of the stick), smolder longer, their combustible mass is denser and they do not break when used.

The composition of Damascus combustible

The composition of Damascus combustible incense includes ground shells of mollusks, so when burned, they emit a minimum amount of smoke, which does not interfere with the disclosure of the main aroma. Compared to others, Damascus incense scents are more subtle, pure, and extremely natural. Trademarks of Damascus manufacturers are gaining more and more fans on the Russian market, despite the average and high price tags ─ be sure, they are worth it!

Damascus combustible incense is made in the form of sticks, cones, or spirals. The sticks smolder evenly with a moderate release of aroma, more suitable for small spaces. The cones “burn” faster and intensify smoldering from top to bottom, thus increasing the strength of aromatization. In small spaces, such as a bathroom or hallway, the concentration of the smell can be too strong, so this form is used to scent large rooms or outdoors. Spirals, like sticks, burn evenly, but are several times longer than them, and therefore are designed for long-term action. Spirals are also used in large rooms.
