How To Use
- Light a charcoal disc — place a self-lighting charcoal disc in a dhoop burner and wait until it is covered in grey ash.
- Sprinkle a pinch — add a small pinch of dhoop powder on the charcoal and let the fragrant smoke rise.
- Keep it ventilated — use in a room with some airflow.
- Add more when needed — a pinch at a time is enough; too much produces heavy smoke.
Storage
- Close the tin — keep the lid tightly closed after every use.
- Cool and dry — store away from sunlight, heat and moisture.
- Use a clean, dry spoon — damp tools can spoil the powder.
Good To Know
Colour: tin colours and powder shades may look slightly different on screen than in person, depending on your display and lighting.
Safety: never leave burning dhoop unattended and keep it away from children, pets and flammable items. Use only on a heat-safe surface.
Sensitivities: aromatic smoke may bother people with breathing conditions. If you feel discomfort, stop use and ventilate the room.
