Incense has been a part of Cambodian life for centuries, offering more than fragrance—it creates moments of reflection, calm, and cultural connection. At Senteurs d’Angkor, our incense cones made from Kapok tree bark bring this tradition into your home, combining craftsmanship, heritage, and sensory delight.

Crafted with Care

The journey of our Kapok tree incense begins in the heart of Cambodia, where artisans harvest the bark sustainably. The bark is carefully processed and blended with natural resins and essential oils, then hand-rolled into cones. This meticulous process preserves the rich aroma and ensures a slow, even burn, releasing the distinctive sweet, woody fragrance that Kapok tree incense is known for. Each cone is a product of patience, skill, and generations of traditional knowledge.

A Connection to Cambodian Culture

In Cambodian culture, incense is more than a scent; it is a symbol of mindfulness, respect, and spiritual practice. Kapok tree incense is often used in temples, ceremonies, and daily rituals to purify spaces and invite tranquility. Lighting an incense cone from Senteurs d’Angkor is a way to connect with this cultural heritage, inviting calm, focus, and reflection into your daily life.

Tips to Enjoy Your Incense

To make the most of your Kapok tree incense cones, place them on a heat-resistant holder in a well-ventilated space. Light the tip, let it glow, and gently blow out the flame to release a slow, steady aroma. Use them during meditation, yoga, or quiet moments at home to enhance mindfulness. You can also mix scents by placing cones from different natural sources nearby for a layered aromatic experience. Always store your incense in a dry, cool place to preserve its fragrance and quality.
