Noor Oud Topaz Incense Sticks

Noor Oud Topaz Incense Sticks are great to use before, during a Yoga class, or in your home or office. NOOR, Oud Incense Collection is an invitation to discover the olfactive charm of the Orient. Oud (in Arabic ‘oudh’) is an extremely rare and precious oil found in agarwood, the resinous heartwood of the aquilaria tree from Southeast Asia. One of the most expensive perfume ingredients in the world, often described as ‘liquid gold’, is highly valued for its very aromatic and complex scent, a warm sweetness mixed with woody, smoky, animalic, and balsamic notes. Prized for centuries in the Middle East particularly where its smoke has been used during opulent beauty rituals, Oud has now conquered the fragrance world, leading to a bounty of scents based on this compelling note.

Place incense away from flammable materials. Use outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.

Incense comes in different shapes and sizes. The shapes change depending on the cultural origin.  The change in manufacturing technology also has a great impact on the shape of incense. Incense is made from natural plant materials and essential oils, and these materials release fragrant smoke when you burn it. Oud Topaz Incense Sticks are made from a bamboo core that is coated with incense material.

“Resin balls were found in many prehistoric Egyptian tombs in El Mahasna, giving evidence for the prominence of incense and related compounds in Egyptian antiquity. One of the oldest extant incense burners originates from the 5th dynasty. The Temple of Deir-el-Bahari in Egypt contains a series of carvings that depict an expedition for incense.”
