Incense Basilica 500gms

René Schönefeld’s (formerly 3 Kings) incense, Basilica, is made of a mixture of black and clear glazed siftings. Basilica has a spicy, balsamic fragrance with a hint of spring flowers. When burned it gives off a very rich, but soft fragrance.

The incense siftings are obtained from different gum trees, in particular the African Boswellia Papyrifera and Commiphora Myrrha, as well as the Asian Styrax Benzoin and Agathis Dammara. The siftings have been washed in perfume oils and coloured with pigments that are all EU-approved.

Basilica is an incense designed for use in religious ceremonies, prayers and meditation. Burning natural resin is a rich sensory experience. It burns on charcoal discs specifically designed for natural resin burning. These special charcoal discs are available here at Gloria Online. The natural resin should not be used as a food additive or for pharmaceutical purposes.

It is simple to use at home: In a fire proof container place a small amount of sand in the bottom. Light a charcoal disc and place on the sand. When the disc is burning well sprinkle half a teaspoon of incense on. The incense will combust and let off it’s scent. Container may get hot. Do not leave unattended.
