A dhoop cone packs a lot of fragrance into a small shape. A good cone is made from natural herbs, wood powders, resins and essential oils bound on a charcoal-free base — no bamboo stick inside. Here is what goes in.
The ingredients
Natural wood and herb powders, aromatic resins like gugal or loban, essential oils, and a natural binder — shaped into a self-standing cone. A charcoal-free cone skips the black filler.
Why the cone shape burns strong
The wide base and narrow tip make cones burn hotter and release fragrance quickly — great to freshen a room fast.
Charcoal-free and bamboo-less
Surbhika cones have no bamboo core and no charcoal, so only the fragrant material burns. See the dhoop cones.
