Mogra Dhoop Sticks

Mogra is the evening smell — jasmine, heavier than agarbatti, the one that comes off a garland rather than a stick. This is that, in dhoop form.

Bamboo-less sticks in a screw-top jar. Thicker than agarbatti, so they throw far more fragrance, and without a bamboo core there's no charcoal note underneath. The jar matters more than it sounds: an open pack leaves your whole cupboard smelling of mogra within a week.

Use it for

• Evening aarti and the shaam ka diya
• Freshening a room fast, before guests arrive
• Anyone who finds chandan too dry and wants something floral
• Bedrooms and pooja corners where you want the scent to linger

Good to know

• 100g jar, screw-top — the fragrance stays in the jar, not the cupboard
• Bamboo-free, so no charcoal smell under the jasmine
• Thicker than agarbatti; use a dhoop stand or a steel plate
• Burns cleaner and longer than a comparable stick
