Koh-Do Elbenzauber Incense



Elbenzauber (Elven magic) is the brand name of Indian incense imported, rebranded, and sold by a German couple who have an Indian goods shop, Koh-Do, in Berlin. They don't sell online themselves, but their incense is available from a handful of German webstores such as Sensatonics and HouseOfHealing, and eBay (which don't sell to the UK or USA). The prices tend to be €4.50 for 15gm. In their history, they tell the familiar story of being in India and encountering a pleasant scent, and then doing a deal to import the incense they encountered into their home country under their own brand name. And the incense is the typical decent masala style incense that is good enough to import and sell under your own name. It is a decent and attractive incense. Solid stuff. 

More interestingly, they have a Ritual range, which they make themselves in Berlin, buying the recipes and the equipment from an incense maker who appears to have stopped making incense.
