“Masala” agarbatti and ordinary “dipped” agarbatti are made very differently. Masala agarbatti is hand-rolled with a wet paste of herbs, resins and natural ingredients; regular agarbatti is a plain stick dipped in fragrance oil. The difference shows in the aroma.
What is masala agarbatti?
Masala agarbatti is made by hand-rolling a fragrant paste of herbs, gugal, camphor and natural ingredients onto the stick. The scent is built in, giving a richer, longer aroma. Explore Surbhika’s Masala Agarbatti and hand-rolled range.
What is regular (dipped) agarbatti?
Regular agarbatti is a plain blank stick dipped in perfume oils. It is cheaper but the fragrance is surface-level and often synthetic.
Which should you choose?
For a fuller, more natural aroma — especially charcoal-free masala agarbatti — masala is the richer choice for pooja and gifting.
