Balance | Botanical Incense Blend

Balance Botanical Incense Blend — benzoin, lavender, rose and jasmine

Balance is a Mundo Mondo blend of benzoin, lavender, rose and jasmine, mixed and hand-packed in our atelier in Anatolia. A small pinch on charcoal is enough to soften the feel of a room.

Scent and character

The smoke is floral and resinous at once. Benzoin gives a warm, sweet, vanilla-like base, lavender a soft floral freshness, and rose and jasmine a rounded, romantic sweetness. It is a calm, gentle scent for unwinding in the evening or for a quiet meditation.

In tradition

Each ingredient carries its own place in folklore. Benzoin has accompanied prayer and meditation for centuries and is associated with vitality and balance; lavender has long been linked with serenity; rose symbolizes love, compassion, devotion and trust; and jasmine is associated with peace. The blend is traditionally used in smoke cleansing rituals and for setting positive intentions. We share this as culture.

What’s inside

• Lavender
• Rose
• Jasmine
• Loose blend; incense charcoal and a heat-resistant bowl are needed to burn it

How to use

• Place a heat-resistant bowl (ceramic or copper) on a stable surface.
• Light a piece of incense charcoal, holding it with tongs, and let it turn red-hot.
• Sprinkle a small amount of the Balance blend onto the charcoal.

Burn in a well-ventilated room on a heat-proof surface. Never leave burning incense or charcoal unattended, and keep it away from children and pets. If you are sensitive to smoke, use sparingly.
