Vanilla & Sandalwood - Àwò Igi Incense
£16.00
Vanilla & Sandalwood incense smells of dominant aromatic woodsy Sandalwood notes supported by cedarwood nuances and finally blended with a substantive base of vanilla pods.
Igi (ig-ee) means tree but when joined with the word Àwò (Ah-woh) it can be used to refer to the colour brown in Yoruba.
This incense is hand-dipped in London and placed into recyclable Kraft envelopes.
Each set includes 10 incense sticks and each stick burns for up to 35-40 minutes.
This brand's scents all evoke memories, written by the creator of Ore Mi:
'When we would visit my parents’ home in Ibadan, in Nigeria, I’d sit out in our compound and watch my mum and my aunties cook Puff Puff, a sweet doughy treat, using a huge wok-like pan over an open flame.'
