Frequently asked questions

What does it smell like?
How many sticks are in a box, and how long does each one burn?
What’s in your incense, and where is it made?
Our incense is hand-dipped and packed in Australia. Our scents are created using a combination of essential oils, natural fragrance ingredients and, in most blends, a small amount of phthalate-free parfum. Every scent contains essential oils - some blends contain just a few, while others, such as Grounded or Bali Hai, contain more than 15 essential oils.
We don't claim that every scent is 100% natural, because some of our blends contain parfum. Instead, our focus is on creating beautiful, considered fragrances using quality ingredients and avoiding unnecessary additives.
Our fragrance blends are created with our perfumer and blended here in Australia, with each scent developed by Sophie to evoke a particular place, feeling or ritual.
All of our fragrance blends have supporting IFRA safety documentation.
You can explore individual ingredients and learn more in our Ingredients Glossary.
Our incense is made using joss wood powder sticks, which are locally dipped in Australia in our custom fragrance blends and ethanol, which helps the incense burn.
Is it gentle enough for sensitive noses?
Everyone responds to scent differently, and some people are sensitive to certain fragrances or essential oils. If you’re pregnant, we recommend checking with your healthcare provider before burning incense. Our furry and feathered friends have sensitive noses too, so make sure pets can move to another room, and check with your vet if you have any concerns. Always burn incense in a well-ventilated space, and stop using it if you feel any discomfort.
