Nag Champa is a blend of flowers, spices and resins which gives a sweet and flowery fragrance with a spicy note when burned. The base of Nag Champa is sandalwood and several flower oils are used including champac tree flowers. The champac tree can grow to one hundred feet (thirty metres) and is a variety of magnolia.
Each Nag Champa incense stick weighs about a gram and will burn for up to an hour. A box contains 15 grams (around 15 sticks) of incense. You can buy single boxes or packs containing twelve boxes.
We also have Nag Champa incense cones which burn for about 25 minutes and come in boxes of 12. Each box of Nag Champa incense cones comes with a small metal dish so that they may be safely burned. We also sell packs containing 12 boxes.
