Choosing an Incense Holder

The right incense holder makes burning your favourite incense simpler, cleaner and more intentional. Our collection includes incense stick holders, incense trays, ash catchers and cone incense holders, with designs suited to everyday fragrance, meditation, ritual and creating atmosphere within your home.

When choosing a holder, first consider the type of incense you use. Incense sticks require a secure opening or support to hold the stick upright or at the intended angle while providing enough space to catch falling ash. Incense cones need a stable, heat-resistant surface designed to accommodate the heat generated as the cone burns.

Incense Trays & Ash Catchers

Longer incense trays and ash catchers are particularly useful for incense sticks because they provide space beneath the burning stick to collect ash as it falls. Beyond their practical purpose, they can also become part of your altar, meditation space or everyday home ritual.

Incense Cone Holders

Incense cones burn differently from sticks and should always be placed on a suitable heat-resistant holder. Some incense holders are designed for both sticks and cones, making them a versatile choice if you enjoy using different forms of incense.

Burning Incense Safely

Always place your incense holder on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from curtains, paper and other flammable materials. Position incense securely so that hot ash or embers fall within the holder rather than onto surrounding surfaces.

Burn incense in a well-ventilated area with good airflow. Never leave burning or smouldering incense unattended, and keep incense and hot holders away from children and pets. Allow ash and the holder to cool completely before handling or cleaning.

Complete Your Ritual

Pair your new holder with your favourite incense sticks or cones from our Herbs, Resins & Incense collection and create a simple ritual that brings fragrance and intention into your space.
