Products & Fragrances

How do masala incense and Flora bathi differ?

Flora bathi is a specific fragrance within the Gold Medal Brand masala incense range — a warm, earthy floral character on a classic aromatic masala base. Masala refers to the manufacturing method: natural botanicals blended into a paste and rolled onto bamboo without charcoal or synthetic binders. All Gold Medal variants (Flora, Javadhu, Parijatak, Sandalwood, Sugandh Gold, Rose) share the same traditional masala process — Flora is simply one of six fragrance expressions within that range.

What are masala incense sticks?

Masala incense sticks are made by blending natural ingredients — resins, herbs, spices and botanical powders — into a fragrant paste, then hand-rolling the paste onto a thin bamboo stick. Unlike charcoal-based sticks (which use a charcoal core dipped in fragrance oil), masala sticks contain no charcoal and no synthetic binders. They burn slower, produce a richer and more complex smoke, and are considered the premium traditional form of Indian incense.

What are the benefits of burning masala incense?

Burning natural masala incense purifies and fragrances the air, supports relaxation and stress reduction through aromatherapy, creates a focused atmosphere for meditation, yoga and prayer, and connects you to centuries of Indian craft and ritual tradition. Certain botanical compounds — such as incensole acetate in frankincense — have been studied for their anxiolytic properties. Always burn in a well-ventilated space.

What are the benefits of using handrolled masala incense sticks?

Handrolled masala sticks use natural botanical ingredients without synthetic chemicals, burn slower and more evenly for a longer-lasting fragrance experience, and produce a more complex, authentic aroma. They support traditional Indian artisan craft and are generally gentler on the respiratory system than charcoal-based incense. Skilled hands can adjust each batch to optimise the fragrance and burn quality in ways machines cannot.

What makes palo santo different from other incense types?

Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens) is a sacred wood from South America, used for centuries by indigenous communities for purification, energy clearing and spiritual ceremony. Unlike Indian resins or masala sticks, palo santo is burned as a wood stick or shaving — or in cone form as in our Herbs & Spices / Palo Santo range. Its smoke has a distinctive warm, woody, slightly citrusy and sweet character, widely used in meditation, yoga and space-clearing practices.

How is temple-grade dhoop made traditionally in South India?

Traditional South Indian temple dhoop is hand-pressed by artisans who blend halmaddi resin (from the Ailanthus Malabarica tree), sandalwood powder, aromatic herbs, flowers, spices and natural resins into a dough — without bamboo cores or charcoal binders. The cones are shade-dried to preserve fragrance integrity. Our Jaygee Divine Handmade Cones — Tanjore Special are made by cottage industry artisan families near Thanjavur using this exact centuries-old method.

Incense Knowledge

What is the history of incense making in Bangalore?

Bangalore and the broader Mysore region have been the epicentre of Indian incense production since the early 20th century, building on centuries of South Indian temple incense traditions. The industry scaled significantly in the 1960s–1980s as artisan workshops grew into commercial units. Today Bangalore accounts for over 80% of India's agarbathi (incense stick) production. The regional climate is ideal for drying incense, bamboo comes from Karnataka and Assam, and fragrance raw materials are sourced from Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Generations of skilled artisan families have kept the craft alive — Jaygee Industries has been part of this tradition since 1972.

How do you use essential oils for relaxation and spiritual healing?

Essential and fragrance oils can be used in several ways: in an oil burner or tea-light diffuser (a few drops in water), in an electric ultrasonic diffuser for continuous diffusion, added to bathwater for an aromatic soak, blended with a carrier oil for massage, or used to scent candles or potpourri. For spiritual practice, grounding oils (sandalwood, patchouli), clarity oils (frankincense, rosemary) and purification oils (palo santo, white sage) are traditionally used. Browse the Jaygee Fragrance Oils range for options.
