Dragon’s Blood Fragrance Oil has been a beloved staple in spiritual rituals, meditation practices, and incense traditions for centuries — and in recent years it has firmly secured its place in the home-fragrance world. If you’ve ever stepped into a temple, yoga studio, or meditation space and breathed in the smoky, resinous aroma of traditional Indian incense sticks (Agarbatti), then you already know the atmosphere this fragrance creates: warm, grounding, ancient and mystical.
At House of Scent, we’ve bottled that very essence. Our Dragon’s Blood has been carefully crafted to capture the deep, resinous beauty of this timeless aroma while adding subtle layers that make it even more captivating and true-to-life. Whether you use fragrance oils in candles, wax melts, soaps, diffusers or spiritual rituals, this scent offers something truly special — a blend that feels both ancient and modern, earthy yet refined.
But what exactly makes our Dragon’s Blood stand out? And how does it compare to the well-loved incense sticks used in Indian homes and temples? Let’s explore the history, scent profile, and best uses of this mystical fragrance.
What Is Dragon’s Blood?
Despite its dramatic name, Dragon’s Blood has nothing to do with mythical creatures. The original Dragon’s Blood resin comes from trees in the Dracaena and Daemonorops families, which produce a rich, red sap. This resin has been used for thousands of years in:
spiritual and religious rituals
incense making
traditional medicine
dyes and varnishes
cleansing and protection rituals across multiple cultures
Our Dragon’s Blood is inspired by this ancient tradition. While it’s not made from pure resin (which cannot be used directly in candles or cosmetics), it replicates the experience beautifully through expertly layered fragrance notes. It captures the resinous, smoky essence of the original material while adding gentle enhancements that make the scent more complex, smoother, and longer-lasting.
Much like hand-rolled incense sticks crafted in India, the aroma feels warm, meditative, slightly sweet, and deeply grounding. It transforms any space into a peaceful sanctuary.
Scent Profile: Like Smouldering Indian Incense
If you love the calming, spiritual atmosphere of burning incense sticks, you will adore our Dragon’s Blood fragrance oil. It’s rich and multi-layered, echoing the depth and warmth of traditional Agarbatti used in temples and meditation spaces.
Scent Notes
✔ Top Notes: Soft citrus + subtle spice — similar to that first breath of freshly lit incense.
✔ Middle Notes: Jasmine + rose — adding a sweet floral lift reminiscent of temple offerings.
✔ Base Notes: Resinous amber, patchouli, musk & sandalwood — earthy, grounding, long-lasting.
This fragrance doesn’t just smell like burning incense — it captures the entire experience. Imagine a dimly lit meditation room, a single stick of Dragon’s Blood incense glowing at its tip, and the slow curl of smoke filling the space with warmth and mystery. That’s the feeling this scent recreates.
