Product Overview
Mattipal is the name used in South India for halmaddi, a honey-like tree resin, and it is the heart of this blend from Indus Treasures. The hand-rolled sticks burn with a warm, resinous scent, slightly sweet, with gentle woody and spicy notes. Each 15g pack holds around 12 sticks and is made by hand in India from resins, aromatic woods and oils.
The Story Behind It
Halmaddi is the resin of the Ailanthus tree, known in parts of South India as mattipal. It has long been used in Indian masala incense, where it gives sticks their soft, slightly tacky texture and honeyed sweetness.

FAQ
What does mattipal smell like?
Warm, resinous and slightly sweet, with gentle woody and spicy notes beneath the honeyed halmaddi.
Why are the sticks slightly soft or tacky?
Halmaddi resin naturally gives incense a slightly soft, sticky feel. Store the pack somewhere cool and dry.
How should I burn incense sticks safely?
Use a holder that catches falling ash and stand it on a heat-resistant surface, away from curtains and anything flammable. Never leave a lit stick unattended, keep it out of reach of children and pets, and air the room afterwards.
