Benzoin of Sumatra Incense Box | Little Comforts – Burn & Keep

A little box of warmth, ready to bring a sense of calm to your everyday moments…

For centuries, incense has traveled the well-worn roads of trade and tradition, woven into daily life, ceremonies, and quiet moments of reflection. From ancient temples to rustic farmhouses, wooden boxes like this one have long been used to store resins, herbs, and treasured aromatics.

There’s something timeless about reaching for a small wooden box, lifting the lid, and breathing in the rich scent of incense, a simple ritual that connects us to the past while grounding us in the present.

A Beautiful, Functional Keepsake

This petite brass-inlaid wooden box isn’t just a way to store your resin—it’s a little piece of history. Traditionally used for keeping incense and herbs close at hand, it’s perfect for everyday rituals, travel, or simply adding a touch of beauty to your space.

• Size: approx. 2" wide × 3" long × 1.5" tall
• Inlaid celestial patterns may vary slightly
• Contains a small portion of Benzoin of Sumatra resin
• Note: Mini resin spoon not included, but available in our shop

Small enough to carry with you, lovely enough to keep on a stillroom shelf.

The Scent

Benzoin of Sumatra carries a rich, balsamic warmth with hints of vanilla and soft florals. It lingers in the air, creating a peaceful atmosphere that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and be present in the moment.

How to Use

Burn this resin on a charcoal disc or use with our brass adjustable resin burner. You can also blend it into your own incense mixtures.

For charcoal burning:

• Fill a heatproof bowl with an inch of sand, salt, or ash.
• Hold the charcoal disc with tongs and light it until it sparks.
• Let it heat for a few minutes.
• Sprinkle a small pinch of resin onto the disc.
• Add more as needed and clear used resin with tongs.
• Let cool fully before discarding.

Why This Matters

In a world that rushes from one thing to the next, small rituals help us pause. Lighting incense while making coffee, setting the tone for the day, or ending the evening with a familiar scent—it’s all about creating moments of presence.

This little box is more than just storage; it’s a reminder to slow down, savor the moment, and make space for quiet joy.

Special Touches

May contain resins, tea lights, burnable herbs, or charcoal discs, depending on the season and what’s on hand. Wrapped up just the way we like it—sealed in a clear inner pouch, then tucked into kraft paper and fastened with a brass paper clasp, just like the old dry goods shop down the road.

A little something extra, just because — there’s always something to discover from the farm.
