The incense seal ritual — six steps
1. Loosen the ash： stir the ash clockwise with the incense chopstick until even and airy.
2. Level the ash： press it flat with the ash tamper (灰押).
3. Place the mould：set the seal mould (香篆) in the centre of the censer.
4. Fill with powder： fill the mould evenly with the spade (香铲).
5. Lift the mould： lift it gently; the powder keeps its seal shape.
6. Light & enjoy： light the end and let the seal burn slowly, filling the room with sandalwood.
Five ways to use fragrance powder
1. Incense seal (xiāng zhuàn / 印香)： press the powder into a seal mould and light it slowly.
2. DIY incense sticks & cones： blend with a natural binder (try 90g powder to 10g binder) and shape.
3. Electric incense warmer： gentle low-temperature warming releases the aroma without smoke.
4. Indirect heating (隔火空熏)： warm a small pile over an ash bed for a clean, subtle scent.
5. Everyday space & car： a pinch in a burner fills a room or a car with quiet calm.
FAQ
What does cinnamon twig powder smell like?
Warm, sweet and gently spicy — a comforting cinnamon note that adds warmth to blended incense.
What is an incense seal (xiang zhan)?
An incense seal (香篆, xiāng zhuàn) is a traditional Chinese way of burning loose incense powder: the powder is pressed into a mould in the shape of a seal or pattern, then lit at one end so it burns slowly and evenly.
Can I make my own incense sticks or cones with this powder?
Yes. Blend about 90g of sandalwood powder with 10g of a natural binder (such as makko or joss powder), add water drop by drop until it forms a clay-like dough, then shape into sticks or cones and dry them in a warm, airy place.
Is this powder scented or synthetic?
No. It is 100% natural Australian sandalwood, ground into a fine powder with no synthetic fragrance and no fillers added.
How should I store the powder?
Keep the jar sealed in a cool, dry place away from moisture. Natural incense powder keeps well and its aroma deepens over time.
Can I use it with an electric incense warmer?
Yes. A low-temperature electric warmer releases the sandalwood aroma gently without open flame or smoke, which is convenient for desks, meditation and travel.
How long does a pressed incense seal burn?
Depending on the powder and mould size, a pressed seal usually burns slowly for roughly 15 to 30 minutes.
