Royal Chola
Six fragrances, hand-rolled in the spirit of South India’s temples and carried on a thread of smoke.
Since 1949
A legacy of fragrance
Royal Chola takes its name from one of South India’s greatest dynasties, a civilisation remembered for towering temples, fine artistry and a deep devotion to ritual.
For seventy-five years our incense has been made in that same spirit: natural aromatics rolled onto slender bamboo and blended into fragrances meant to mark a moment: a prayer, a celebration, a quiet evening at home.

How to light it
i.
Light the tip
Hold a flame to the coated end until it catches, then gently blow it out so it glows.
ii.
Set it to rest
Place the stick in a holder on a heat-safe surface, away from anything that can catch.
iii.
Let it unfold
A slow ribbon of scented smoke fills the room. Enjoy in good ventilation.
