Thirty years on, home fragrancing company Heaven Scent has seen a major renaissance of incense sticks this year, confirms founder and managing director Daniel Pettit. “We started our business selling incense, creating alternative home fragrance scents to the niche Indian Incense market at the time.”
“We introduced fragrances such as French Vanilla and Strawberry Fields – believe it or not no one was doing these fragrances at the time. Fast forward 30 years and our best sellers include fragrances such as Lime Basil and Mandarin, Sea Salt and Black Pomegranate,’ says Daniel.
The company currently offers over 90 incense fragrances, in a bundle of 100 sticks or incense packs and glass tubes. ‘Since lockdown, people seemed to have rediscovered the intensity incense can offer when burning them at home,” Daniel continues. “They also offer a cheaper alternative to burning a candle, and fragrance the home easily. Lots of people mention the attraction of the ritualistic element to burning incense too,” states Daniel.
The company creates its own fragrances and hand dips the incense in their factory in Wiltshire so that everything is fully traceable and safe. “We have designed some beautiful new incense stands, making it easy for shops to display the incense,” highlights Daniel. “New deals are currently on offer for retailers purchasing a certain amount of Incense, and they will also receive a free stand.”
