Balaji Chandan

Chandan is Paul's personal favorite! This is a super fine quality Mysore Yellow Chandan sandalwood. Cheap sandalwood just smells like wood, fine sandalwood smells like a French perfume. Paul first came across it in Glastonbury at Labyrinth Books where the late and great Jake Stratton Kent was launching one of his books and burning Chandan, Paul fell in love with it! It is SO strong that half a stick can still be smelled in the room 48 hours later - its that intoxicating. GORGEOUS!

15 gram box containing approximately 15 sticks.

Balaji is one of Paul’s preferred brands that he has insisted on in his own ritual magick practice long before Artes And Craft came into being. High quality and very strong. Exotic and heady, the smell of even half a stick can last for days. This is NOT one of those cheap brands where you can smell the base oil underneath or that smell samey. These are very much WOW and in your face. Perfect for the witch, wiccan or ritual worker who believes that the gods and goddesses deserve a rich and powerful offering.

With over 500 products being exported to over 30 countries as of 2021, Balaji Agarbatti Company was originally established in 1957 as a maker and seller of incense sticks. A name that is today, synonymous with high quality products and patronage that has lasted for more than seven decades.

An additional matter of pride for all of us at Balaji, lies in the fact that our workforce largely comprises of women, who make up almost 70% of the number. Not only are these wonderful women the real back-bone of Balaji as a business, their livelihood is also a source of income, stability and status for them – with most of them being from rural regions – and most importantly, earns them dignity and respect, wherever they go.
