Devdar is the Himalayan cedar, Cedrus deodara, the great cedar of the western Himalaya and the source of the English name deodar. The wood is warm, dry and sweet, the full, rounded cedar note. The workshop grinds it with natural binders and rolls it by hand into a solid stick, with no bamboo core.

Common questions

Is this real cedar?
Yes, the Himalayan cedar, Cedrus deodara, in stick form, not a cedar-scented oil. It is a single-note stick.

What does it smell like?
Warm, dry and sweet, the full, rounded cedar note.

Does it have a bamboo core?
No. It is a solid hand-rolled stick.

How long does each stick burn, and how many in a box?
About 20 minutes per stick, 40 sticks per box.

1. Hold the tip to a flame until it catches (5–10 seconds).
2. Blow the flame out so the stick smoulders.
3. Place in an incense holder on a heat-safe surface.
4. Allow the ash to cool fully before clearing.

The warm, dry cedar opens steadily and holds across the burn.

Burns approximately 20 minutes per stick. Burn on a heat-safe surface, away from anything that can catch, and never leave unattended.
