For those who love incense and wonder, "Can I make incense myself?" As you get more familiar with incense, you might feel the urge to try making it. You may also think about giving it as a gift to friends if it turns out well.
Incense sticks, kneaded incense, and scented sachets can all be made easily if you have the ingredients! On this page, we introduce the materials (fragrant ingredients) and instructions needed to make your own incense.
Tips for Making Incense
One key point in making incense is the final scent (blend). Scented sachets release fragrance at room temperature, so you can easily check the scent as you go. However, with incense sticks and kneaded incense, it’s not possible to check the scent during the process. The final scent for incense sticks comes after drying and lighting, and for kneaded incense after warming. Professional incense makers always imagine the final scent while blending the ingredients.
If you’re someone who just wants to try making incense, it’s perfectly fine to start by mixing various materials for fun.
Mixing, kneading, cutting with molds, or rolling it up… it’s like making sweets, so even small children can enjoy it.
If you’re new and want to make a proper fragrance from the start, try using our original "Handmade Incense Kit" where you only need to mix pre-measured ingredients. You don’t need to worry about how much of each ingredient to use. All materials in the kit are already measured, and when you mix them all, you’ll achieve the exact scent blended by our shop owner. You can calmly go step by step while checking the fragrance of each ingredient.
