Black Copal from Peru is the rainforest cousin of Mexican copal - a different genus, Protium copal, with a deeper and slower character than the Bursera copals of the north. Andean and Amazonian cultures have burned it independently of Mesoamerica for centuries.

On charcoal the piece softens slowly, releasing earthy resin and sweet pine before deepening into amber and dry wood. Slower than White Copal, less linear than Hojari - the kind of session that asks for an hour, not a half-hour.

The resin for the longer working evening, the rainy afternoon, the room held quiet through a long task. The South American register, kept by the cooperative in Loreto.

A contemporary house of ancient materials

Maison Éthérique brings together incense, aromatic resins, botanical bundles, crystals and the objects used with them. From our house in Dubai, we explore their aromas, stories and traditions - a collection for personal rituals, familiar favourites and gifts with meaning.

For the meaning it holds

A familiar aroma can become part of a daily ritual. A stone can be kept as a symbol of protection; a botanical chosen for a practice of purification. Across the collection, scent, beauty and personal meaning offer different reasons to choose.

superior quality and effective

This copal has become my favourite incense after white copal. I instantly connected with it as soon as i burned. I am definitely going to stack up more.
