There's something almost magical about the waft of incense as it dances through the air, carrying with it the power to transform our spaces, our mood, and our well-being. That's the allure of incense, a simple pleasure that's been around for centuries, quietly carrying a legacy of peace and mindfulness.
Here at Faerly, we're all about finding those special somethings that make your heart smile, without costing the Earth. And we think we've found just the thing with the 'Be Kind' range, a line of natural, premium incense that's big on aroma and light on environmental impact.
Kylie and Mark are the brains behind 'Be Kind'. They are based in Wicklow and we’ve loved seeing how they have created their fantastic young brand. We love what they are about and their incense is really special. Each stick is rolled by hand, not in the green hills of Wicklow, but by skilled artisans in Mysore, India. These are the folks who've mastered the art of creating temple-grade incense, carrying forward a 200-year-old tradition that's been part of their culture and heritage.
What's special about 'Be Kind' incense sticks?
They're crafted with a conscience. From the selection of herbs, woods, resins, and flowers, to the careful drying and grounding, each step is done by hand with the utmost respect for nature. They are chemical free but it’s not just about avoiding chemicals — it's also about honouring an age-old craft and delivering a pure, unadulterated fragrance experience.
With 'Be Kind', it's not just about lighting a stick and walking away. It's about engaging with a ritual that promotes clarity, relaxation, and a deeper connection with oneself. Whether you’re winding down after a long day or seeking a moment of stillness, these sticks are your companions for a retreat into mindfulness. Each stick burns for around 40 minutes but the fragrances linger for much longer.
The hardest part is choosing your scent but don't worry. We've got you covered with a fragrance guide to help you navigate the evocative world of 'Be Kind' incense.
