The Finest Natural Ingredients

Auroshikha's quality is based, first and foremost, on the selection of the finest natural ingredients to create the finest incense anywhere in the world. These ingredients are carefully sourced by the master French Perfumer who has been in charge of quality control for more than 25 years.

Whether using Mysore Sandalwood, or Pine from the Himalayas, Lavender from France or the finest Patchouli from Singapore, he has worked hard to locate the best sources from the best locations around the world to create an extraordinary fragrance in each case.

Hand rolled in small batches for quality control
Auroshikha incense is made using a natural bamboo stick onto which a paste made of jeegat (a natural bark), Sandalwood powder and charcoal is then hand-rolled. The fragrances, after being carefully blended to achieve just the right note, are then either mixed into the paste for the masala fragrances, or are impregnated into the paste through a hand-dipping process.

Auroshikha uses no glue in its incense paste, and no cow dung, making it different in this regard than many incense varieties from around the world.

The real secret to achieving the consistent quality that has made Auroshikha incense world famous is the careful blending of the fragrances personally carried out and overseen constantly by the master French perfumer, who brings his long experience and background and combines it with the ultimate "art" of quality fragrance-crafting. Other than Auroshikha, very few in the world have actually developed to this level of perfection.

Guaranteed Non-Toxic
The use of natural fragrances and the avoidance of using glue or cow dung has helped Auroshikha create non-toxic fragrances suitable for use as incense sticks in enclosed spaces. Auroshikha has had its products tested by an independent testing laboratory in India, and another in Europe, to ensure that they do not contain any heavy metals and are certified non-toxic. No other incense manufacturer we know of goes to this length to ensure the safety of its product. Auroshikha is proud to stand behind its products as being guaranteed non-toxic based on these test results.

Village Cottage Industry
The incense sticks are hand-rolled in the traditional manner and then packaged by Indian villagers, who have developed a real cottage industry in South India to support the world-wide demand for the Auroshikha products. Auroshikha has helped the villagers succeed in improving their quality of life through their high local wage standards, as well as their financial support which enables a school for the village children, medical support as well as water and food. Auroshikha does not permit child labor in the production of its products; rather it has taken great pains to ensure that the children receive a regular education so they are prepared to live in the modern world as it is developing in India today.

Aromatherapy Quality Fragrances

Many people are discovering the benefits of aromatherapy, essentially, the use of fragrance to create an uplifting or enhancing mood or environmental effect. Studies have shown that fragrance reaches the deepest part of the mind where the ancient memories are stored, and can unlock the deeply seated and forgotten feelings and emotions tied to those memories. This process has been found to have a therapeutic and beneficial effect in a wide range of circumstances.
There are fragrances that are useful for stress reduction, such as lavender; or for deep internalization useful for meditation such as frankincense. Others are purifying to the atmosphere and help remove unwanted thoughts such as sandalwood, or evoke the feelings of love and gratitude such as rose. Others such as geranium can uplift the spirits and invigorate the mind.

The entire range of Auroshikha incense products is designed to provide the scent that is
True to Nature™ and therefore suitable for various aromatherapy applications.

Auroshikha uses fragrant woods, barks, herbs, and essential oils to create the most extraordinary range of True to Nature™ fragrances you will find anywhere in the world.

All ingredients also meet the stringent guidelines established by the International Fragrance Association, Geneva, Switzerland.
Even items such as the bamboo sticks on which the incense is rolled are subjected to the careful scrutiny of the Auroshikha quality control team.
