By the editors · 2 min readJaisalmer opens with a wave of dry, ceremonial incense—not church frankincense, but something closer to the thick, resinous smoke of a desert temple. There's an immediate austerity here, a bone-dry quality that feels ancient and unadorned. Amber glows faintly beneath the smoke, less like sweetness and more like sun-warmed stone.
As it develops, the composition reveals subtle spice and a waxy, balsamic undertone that never softens the incense's stark core. This is not meditative in the peaceful sense—it's austere, almost ascetic, with a ceremonial weight that keeps a certain distance from the wearer.
It suits those who want incense stripped of decoration, who prefer their fragrance angular rather than comforting. The name references a fortress city in Rajasthan, and that sense of weathered sandstone and ritualistic gravity carries through from first spray to final fade.
