Our Ingredients
Pure botanicals. Transparent craft. Nothing unnecessary.
At Senlë, every stick begins with nature.
We work only with raw plant materials — woods, herbs, resins, and flowers — blended in small batches with no synthetics, no perfumes, and no hidden additives. Each ingredient is chosen for the way it burns, the atmosphere it creates, and how gently it sits in your space.
Below is a look into some of the materials that are commonly used in incense making.
