Holy basil is an aromatic plant native to India, where it is commonly known as tulsi. It is a sacred plant for Hindus, often planted in the courtyard of traditional homes and used in religious and cultural practice. The lush botanical fragrance is said to relax the mind and body while decreasing stress and anxiety, and Ayurvedic properties include improved memory and focus. A modern take on a spiritual scent tradition.
At Studio Kahaani we believe in the power of scent to transport us - to a treasured moment in time, a dream destination, or simply to a feeling of calm reflection. In India and many other parts of the world, incense has been used for thousands of years to purify spaces, create positive energy, and encourage mental focus. Building on these traditions, our distinct yet subtle fragrances have been thoughtfully curated to help you create your own scent stories at home.
Our artisanal incense is produced using sustainable, slow, and traditional methods. All natural botanical resins and essential oils are individually rolled by hand to form delicate sticks, which are then dried in the sun. Our certified fair-trade partner in southern India employs local marginalized women, providing them with a dignified and reliable source of income to support their families. We are proud to help uplift these communities while keeping traditional incense production alive for future generations.
