Best Incense sticks DIYs to make your home smell amazing – Explore the many benefits of agarbatti or a dhoop incense, a fragrance pot or a scented candle

After many hours of lazing around in various spas around many countries, I learnt something about myself; and also about the ‘spa’ environment. My best moment in a spa is when I step inside one. Then I also learnt that the calm and quiet, the loosen up feel of a spa is my favourite; and it comes from one thing – the incense sticks.

Dhoop incense

Dhoop comes as dhoop cones, coins and soft mushy dough that can be rolled into any shape or form. Sandalwood or Chandan dhoop cones are the best of the lot for the subtle woody aroma. The scent of sandalwood blends in any style and décor, making it perfect for all your rooms and moods.


Scented candles

Soak up all the sophistication there ever is with scented candles. The great part about scented candles are the range of fragrance choices; the bad part is they look good only after sunset.

Burn the oil

Essential oils are most popular in spa environments for their long-lasting fragrance. Also, the oil diffuser with a small tealight candle and slow fusing oil makes for an earthy grounded décor style.
