Garuda

Himalayan Scents: Offering Series 2 grams per tube: approx 25 min burn time per stick (March 2024 batch) During my trip to Taiwan I was fortunate to find some really excellent materials here and there.  One was a special little container of blended incense powder from the Himalayas.  I recognized the character and qualities of these and proceeded to make this unique incense.  There are quite a few ingredients, specially processed and blended, such as camphor, our "Stanford" Himalayan cedar, and aloeswood. Garuda is a category of great winged Dharma protector in East Asian Buddhism and Hinduism and so an incense like this has an "offering" like resonance.   This unique blend has a lot of projection & dimensionality in larger spaces, with its spicy woody herbaceous, sweet undertones.  Really a unique aromatic experience.
