10 pieces. 1 ritual. Zero noise.

Temple No. 84 contains ten Palo Santo incense sticks, housed in a minimalist glass vial with a cork seal. Each stick is pressed from ethically sourced wood, ground and cured in Hong Kong with ancestral techniques rarely spoken of. The scent—soft resin, sacred smoke, memory of rain on warm stone.

These aren’t for daily use. They’re for doorway moments: before a departure, after a decision, during an arrival.

  • Origin: Hong Kong
  • Contents: 10 hand-rolled Palo Santo incense sticks
  • Burn time: ~25 minutes per stick
  • Packaging: Plastic cylinder with cork

The Story: “Temple No. 84”

In the northern district of Kowloon, there once stood a private temple with no official name—only a number carved into stone: 84. It was small. Hidden between shuttered herbal shops and neon reflections. Inside, there was no altar—only a narrow table, a book with no title, and a single vial of incense labeled in brushstroke.

Those who burned a stick were told only this:
“You are not summoning anything. You are returning to it.”

The recipe traveled, sealed in wax, to a craftsman in Hong Kong who still presses the incense by hand, following proportions passed from monk to architect to exile.

Today, the temple is gone. But the ritual remains—sealed in glass, labeled without flair, waiting to be burned not in haste, but in knowing.

Using Incense Safely Indoors

Recommendations for Palo Santo and Other Dense-Smoke Incense

Palo Santo incense creates a rich, aromatic smoke that adds depth to any ritual or space. However, due to its thicker smoke compared to conventional incense sticks, it’s important to burn it responsibly—especially indoors.

Safety Guidelines
  • Ventilation is Key
    Always burn incense in a well-ventilated area. Open a window or door slightly to allow fresh air to circulate and let the smoke disperse naturally.
  • Use a Stable, Heat-Resistant Surface
    Place your incense in a fireproof holder or dish—ideally ceramic, stone, or metal. Ensure it is positioned on a stable surface, away from flammable objects such as curtains, papers, or fabric.
  • Never Leave Burning Incense Unattended
    Just like candles, incense should always be monitored while lit. If you’re stepping away, extinguish it fully and safely.
  • Keep Away from Children and Pets
    Curious hands and paws can easily knock over burning incense or inhale more smoke than is safe.
  • Burn in Moderation
    For Palo Santo in particular, shorter sessions are ideal. Start with 10–15 minutes at a time and evaluate how the space (and your body) reacts to the smoke.
  • Be Mindful of Allergies or Respiratory Conditions
    If you or someone in your home has asthma, allergies, or respiratory sensitivity, it’s best to use incense sparingly or opt for smokeless alternatives.
After Use
  • Allow ashes to cool completely before disposal.
  • Gently air out the room if the scent or smoke feels too heavy.
  • Store Palo Santo sticks in a dry, dark place to maintain their natural oils and fragrance.
