Dipuo Emmerencia Mfetane, Google ReviewWhat is Ullas Organico Sandalwood incense? Ullas Organico Sandalwood is a hand-rolled masala incense stick with a warm, creamy, woody sandalwood scent, made by ULLAS Incense (formerly Sri Durga Perfumery) in Bengaluru, India. It comes in 25g packs, with a full box holding 12 packs, and is traditionally burned for meditation and temple ritual.
Sandalwood: India's Classic Temple and Meditation Scent
Its aroma opens warm, dry, and woody, then deepens into a creamy, almost milky character with a soft honey-like undertone as it burns — smoother and less sharp than a resin incense, and one of the most recognisably temple-like scents. Sandalwood (chandan) has been used in Indian tradition for centuries for its calming, purifying qualities. ULLAS Incense (formerly Sri Durga Perfumery), made by Patil Parimala Works, is one of the leading incense manufacturers in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.
At Secret Sense, we stock this as the Organico single-note line — currently the only pure sandalwood incense stick in our range, distinct from our sandalwood-and-palo-santo blend and sandalwood incense bricks.
- Hand-rolled masala construction — sandalwood-infused paste pressed onto a bamboo core, not dipped.
- Established Bengaluru manufacturer — ULLAS Incense (formerly Sri Durga Perfumery), Patil Parimala Works.
- Generous pack sizing — 25g single packs, or a box of 12 packs for regular use or gifting.
- Warm, creamy, woody scent — traditionally linked to meditation and temple ritual.
- First pure sandalwood stick in our range — previously only available blended with palo santo.
- Works with tools you already own — burns cleanly in any standard upright incense holder or ash catcher.
How do you burn sandalwood masala incense sticks? Light the tip of an Ullas Organico Sandalwood stick, let it catch for a few seconds, then wave the flame out so it smoulders and releases smoke steadily. Stand it upright in a heatproof holder or ash catcher, away from drafts, curtains, and anything flammable.
Sandalwood's smooth, even burn suits meditation, longer ritual, or simply as a background scent for a study or work space — it rarely overwhelms a room the way a heavier resin can.
How to Use Ullas Organico Sandalwood
- Stand the stick upright in a heatproof incense holder or ash catcher.
- Light the tip and let it burn with a flame for 5–10 seconds.
- Wave the flame out so the tip glows and smoulders.
- Set the holder on a stable, heatproof surface away from drafts and flammable material.
- Let the stick burn down fully, or extinguish early by gently pressing the ember into sand or ash.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does sandalwood incense smell like? +
Warm, dry, and woody at first, deepening into a creamy, almost milky character with a soft honey-like undertone as it burns — smoother and less sharp than a resin incense, and one of the most recognisably temple-like scents.
What is sandalwood incense traditionally used for? +
Sandalwood (chandan) has been used in Indian tradition for centuries for its calming, purifying qualities, and is one of the most common scents burned in temples and meditation spaces to support spiritual focus. These are traditional associations, not medical claims.
Is this the same as Secret Sense's other sandalwood products? +
No — Secret Sense also stocks sandalwood paired with palo santo in a blended incense stick, and sandalwood in incense bricks and sprays. This Ullas Organico Sandalwood is a pure, single-note sandalwood stick — currently the only one of its kind in the range.
Is sandalwood incense good for meditation? +
Sandalwood is one of the most traditional meditation and temple incenses in Indian practice, valued for its calm, grounding scent that doesn't overpower a quiet space. This is a traditional association rather than a clinical claim.
How long does each stick burn for? +
Burn time varies with stick thickness, airflow, and storage, so we don't quote an exact figure for this pack — as a general guide, standard-length masala incense sticks typically burn for 30–45 minutes in still air, longer in a very draft-free room.
Is sandalwood incense safe to burn indoors, including around pets? +
Sandalwood incense is intended for spiritual and ritual use in a ventilated space, the same as any other incense — burn it away from pets, children, and anyone with respiratory sensitivity, and always in a well-aired room rather than a closed one. It isn't intended to treat or affect any medical condition in a person or animal.
