The O to Y Selection Box · 14 Premium Hand-Rolled Incense Sticks
Fourteen hand-rolled incense sticks, one from each scent running O to Y in the Worldly Aromas range. Pure essential oils, natural ingredients, and a recipe carried across generations — in a single box. This box brings together fourteen of the most significant scents in the Worldly Aromas collection, ordered alphabetically from Oud Noor to Yellow Rose. Each one has been sourced from a specific material, made with pure essential oils, and hand-rolled in small batches. No synthetic fragrance. No chemicals. No filler. The range moves across three distinct territories. The oud family — Oud Noor, Oud Al Misir, Oud Al Arab, Oud Black, and Oud Noir — brings five distinct expressions of agarwood together in one box, from the warm and luminous to the dark and uncompromising. The sacred and devotional blends — Pure Palo Santo, Palo Santo and Oud, Opium, Shiromani Chandan, and Vrindavan Champa — carry the aromatic traditions of South Asia and South America into a quiet room. And the floral expressions — Persian Rose, Wild Rose, and Yellow Rose — complete the collection with three distinct readings of the same foundational material, showing exactly what grade and concentration mean in practice. Fourteen materials. Fourteen traditions. Fourteen forty-five-minute burns. What is in the box Each stick is numbered and corresponds to a menu included in the box, so you always know what you are burning. Oud Noor — pure agarwood oil at Grade 1.2. Warm, woody, and luminous — the light side of oud. Fuller and more refined than an entry-level stick, with the warmth and openness that distinguishes it from the darker grades above it. Oud Al Misir — agarwood, warm amber, and Cairo jasmine at Grade 1.3. An Egyptian-inspired blend that is the most floral and honeyed expression of oud in the range. Deep, warm, and quietly opulent. Oud Al Arab — agarwood layered with amber, cinnamon, clove, rose, and jasmine at Grade 1.3. The most orientally complex and spiced oud blend in the collection. Rich, layered, and deeply considered. Oud Black — the most charcoal-forward oud in the range at Grade 1.2. Defined, sharp, and precise — a different character from Oud Noor at the same grade. The wood without warmth or softening. Oud Noir — pure agarwood at Grade 1.3. The darkest and most concentrated expression of the material in the range. Leathery, deep, and uncompromising. The natural endpoint of the oud family. Opium — richly complex at Grade 1.3. Floral, oriental, and dark, with layers that develop steadily across the full forty-five minute burn. One of the most consistently reordered scents in the entire range. Pure Palo Santo — the purest expression of palo santo in the range at Grade 1.3. Naturally fallen wood from South America. Warm, woody, and gently resinous, with a clean citrus lift and a mintiness underneath that keeps the smoke open and fresh. Palo Santo and Oud — naturally fallen South American palo santo wood meets agarwood in a single blend. Warm, grounding, and complex — two of the world's most valued aromatic woods in one stick. Persian Rose — rose absolute at Grade 1.3. The most concentrated and refined floral in the entire range. Deep, rich, and persistent — the rose at its most serious and most rewarding. Sandalwood — pure sandalwood essential oil. Warm, creamy, and quietly persistent. Sourced from India, with the distinctive woody depth of genuine sandalwood oil rather than any synthetic approximation. Shiromani Chandan — a refined sandalwood blend that draws on the Indian classical tradition of chandan as a ceremonial and devotional material. Complex, warm, and rooted in a living aromatic tradition. Vrindavan Champa — a classic Indian floral blend rooted in the champa flower and its sacred associations with the devotional traditions of North India. Rich, warm, and instantly transportive. Wild Rose — a lighter, fresher rose expression. Natural and open in character, with the clean brightness of a rose that has not been amplified or concentrated. The most accessible of the three rose expressions in this box. Yellow Rose — pure rose essential oil at Grade 1.1. Bright and slightly honeyed, with a freshness that distinguishes it clearly from the deeper and more concentrated rose expressions above it in the collection. Why this box exists The O to Y Selection Box gives you the chance to experience fourteen of the most significant scents in the Worldly Aromas range in a single purchase — at a fraction of the cost of buying each full pack separately. It is also the most efficient way to understand how differently the same foundational material can behave depending on grade, composition, and origin. Burning all five oud expressions across five consecutive evenings — Oud Noor, Oud Black, Oud Al Arab, Oud Al Misir, and Oud Noir — reveals the full range of what agarwood can do and makes the differences between them immediately clear. Burning Persian Rose, Wild Rose, and Yellow Rose in sequence shows exactly what concentration and grade mean in practice for a floral material. No description of these differences is as useful as experiencing them directly. Why it works as a gift This box is a considered gift for someone who already knows the Worldly Aromas range and wants to go deeper, and an equally strong introduction for someone new to natural incense who deserves better than anything available on the high street. The oud family alone makes this box exceptional as a gift for anyone with an interest in Arabic, Persian, or South Asian fragrance traditions. Five distinct expressions of agarwood in a single box is not something available anywhere else at this quality or price point. The addition of Persian Rose at Grade 1.3, Opium, and Pure Palo Santo at Grade 1.3 gives the box a depth and range that makes it genuinely worth exploring over several weeks. Packed in uncoated kraft paper. Understated, fully compostable, and without the over-designed aesthetic that signals a product has spent more on its packaging than its contents. How to use Place the stick in a ceramic or stone holder. Light the tip and allow it to catch for thirty seconds. Blow gently until the flame subsides. Each stick will burn for approximately forty-five minutes. Burn each stick on its own in a quiet room without other strong scents present. This gives each material the space to be understood on its own terms. The oud expressions and Persian Rose at Grade 1.3 in particular take fifteen to twenty minutes to open fully — allow the smoke to settle before forming a judgment. The rose expressions and Vrindavan Champa are more immediate and reveal their character within the first few minutes of burn. What is in every stick Spring water, pure bamboo charcoal, sandalwood powder, vanilla powder, gum elemi, makko powder, tragacanth gum, Arabic gum, gum opoponax, gum labdanum, gum copal, mastic, gum dammar, myrrh resin, frankincense resin. Pure essential oils specific to each scent. No synthetic fragrance. No chemicals. No animal products. Vegan. Allergen free. Product details 14 sticks, one from each scent running O to Y in the range. Length: 21cm per stick. Burn time: approximately 45 minutes per stick. Numbered menu included. Packed in uncoated kraft paper. Fully compostable packaging. Frequently asked questions How do I know which stick is which? Each stick is numbered, and the box includes a printed menu that corresponds to each number. You will always know exactly what you are burning. How does this differ from the A to N Selection Box and the original Selection Box? The original Selection Box contains 17 sticks from the core Worldly Aromas range. The A to N Selection Box contains 15 sticks running alphabetically from Agarwood to Nepal Musk. The O to Y Selection Box brings together 14 sticks running alphabetically from Oud Noor to Yellow Rose. Between the A to N and O to Y boxes you have the complete current range covered across 29 sticks. All three boxes can be purchased together for a full exploration of everything Worldly Aromas makes. Which scents in this box are the most complex? The five oud expressions — particularly Oud Al Arab, Oud Al Misir, and Oud Noir at Grade 1.3 — and Opium and Persian Rose at Grade 1.3 are the most layered and developed scents in the box. These take the longest to open and reward the most patience. Wild Rose and Yellow Rose are the cleanest and most immediate. Pure Palo Santo, Sandalwood, and Vrindavan Champa sit between the two in terms of depth and complexity. Why are there five different oud expressions in one box? Because agarwood is one of the most complex and varied aromatic materials in the world, and the differences between a warm and luminous Grade 1.2 expression like Oud Noor and a dark and leathery Grade 1.3 expression like Oud Noir are significant enough to make experiencing them side by side genuinely illuminating. The oud family in this range was built specifically to show the full range of what this material can do — this box is the most efficient way to understand that. Can I buy full packs of the scents I discover? Yes. Every scent in this box is available as a full pack in the incense collection. Once you have found your favourites, the full pack gives you 18 to 20 sticks at a meaningfully lower cost per stick than the Selection Box rate. Is it safe to burn indoors? Yes. All sticks contain no synthetic materials, chemical accelerants, or artificial binders. Burn in a ventilated room with a proper holder placed on a heat-safe surface. Keep away from draughts, children, and pets. Never leave a burning stick unattended.
