Aavyaa

 

The Indian incense store aavyaa.com has a great range of incense, such as Balaji, Misbah, Phool, Forest, Vedamrut, Cycle, Kailapira, etc, at only slightly higher than average domestic Indian prices, but well below Western prices, and even cow dung incense for those brave enough to try it.  is offering free international shipping for "orders above a certain amount", in response to my mentioning them in a review for Cycle Pushkarini. See the discussion after the review: Ranga Rao Cycle Pushkarini.  [2025: No more free international shipping, and orders need to go through on WhatsApp: +91 9710009184] 

Prices are around 10% of what you would normally pay in the UK. I'm seeing Phool Tuberose for £29 on eBay, while Aavyaa are selling the same for £2.90.

Have fun, and let me know how you get on. There's some great incense to discover at fair prices. Incense that is rarely, if ever, sold in the UK. And even well known incense, such as Sai Flora, for 88p

After further discussion with Vishesh, the co-founder, he decided to skip the requirement to order via WhatsApp, and though he originally intended the free shipping offer to start at ₹10k (approx £98), he's brought it down, and agreed to have an incremental shipping offer, so the more you spend, the less the shipping costs.

International orders up to £9.99 cost £10 in shipping.
Orders between £10 and £29.99 cost £5 in shipping.
Orders between £30 and £49.99 cost £2.50 in shipping.
Orders over £50 are shipped for free.

But the costs are, obviously, given in Rupees - I've just translated into sterling. So £9.99 would be 999 Rupees. And £50 would be 5,000 Rupees.

The shipping page has been updated: https://aavyaa.com/policies/shipping-policy
In addition to the shipping discounts (which are done automatically on the website), there are also automatic discounts on purchases over a certain amount.

I think the new shipping prices are an incentive, and I may just add a bit more incense to my legendary backlog.


As of 2025 there is no longer free international shipping, and international customers have to order via email:  connect@aavyaa.com, or WhatsApp: +91 9710009184
