I've never burned resin before

This is the set for you. Light the charcoal, wait until it turns ashy grey, lay a small piece of resin on top. You almost can't get it wrong, and the resin keeps for years.

The scent of the frankincense is fantastic even without burning it.

Małgorzata, Wrocław

On the mica plate there is no smoke; the resin simply simmers gently.

Grzegorz, Lublin

When I waited until the charcoal was completely white, the smoke rose much more calmly and majestically.

The ritual

Simpler than it looks.

Three honest steps. Light the coal, wait for grey-white, lay on one small tear of resin. The smoke teaches you the rest.

Lighting the charcoal in the burner
Step one · 2 minutes

Light the coal

Place the charcoal in the burner and touch a match or lighter to one edge. It will spark and crackle.

With the tongs, never your fingers.
Charcoal turned ashy grey-white
Step two · a moment

Wait for grey-white

Wait until the charcoal turns grey-white all over. Then it's ready, and only then does the resin go on.

Never on a live flame.
Laying one small tear of resin on the glowing coal
Step three · 5 seconds

Lay on one small tear

Place a small piece of resin on the glowing coal. Start with less than you think. You can always add more.

Then the room changes.

These three steps are all there is to it. Most people find their rhythm on the first evening.

The Trinity

When one resin becomes three.

Hojari to ground. Amber to warm the room. Dragon's Blood to clear the air. Three resins on one shelf, and the evening decides which one burns.

Meet the Trinity

Start with the first fire. When you're ready for the full range, the Trinity is waiting.

Good to know

Before your first fire.

I've never burned resin before. Is this really everything I need?

Yes. Resin, burner, tongs, charcoal. Nothing else to buy, nothing else to figure out. Open it and begin.

What does the Hojari Blend smell like?

Nothing like the heavy church incense you might remember. The white Hojari is bright and citrus, it lifts. The black is warm and balsamic, it grounds. Together they open and settle the room at the same time.

How long will everything last?

The 60g of resin lasts many weeks of regular burning. The two rolls of charcoal give you plenty of evenings. The burner and tongs stay with you for years.

What's the difference between First Flame and Trinity?

First Flame is one blend and everything you need to start. Trinity is three distinct resins for the full range. If you're beginning, start here. If you want range, go there.

What if I do it wrong?

You almost can't. Light the charcoal, wait until it turns ashy grey, lay a small piece of resin on top. If the smoke is faint, add a little more; if it's strong, take some off. There's no ruining it, and nothing is wasted. The resin keeps for years.

Is this a good gift?

Yes. It arrives complete and beautiful, ready to use, nothing else to buy. A set you can give exactly as it comes.

How soon will it arrive?

From our warehouse in Poland, usually the next working day. Order over a weekend and it leaves Monday. If it's a gift with a date to meet, just tell us.
