Amber Dhoop Cones carry the warm, resinous sweetness that sits underneath so much Indian and Middle Eastern perfumery — honeyed and slightly powdery, with a depth closer to resin than to flowers. Amber is a fragrance that rewards concentration, which is exactly what the cone shape provides: pressed dense, it reads fuller and rounder than the same paste drawn out along a stick. It suits evenings, colder months and rooms with soft furnishing that hold onto scent. Bamboo-free and charcoal-free, so nothing sharp cuts across the warmth. Supplied in a resealable 100g jar. Burn on a metal plate or ceramic holder — the base gets hot as it works down.
