BLACKBIRD INCENSE PYRES REDUX



A pyre is a structure used for cremating bodies in funeral rites. In many religions, death is seen as the time when the individual soul rejoins the universal soul, and the pyre is a vessel to aid in this process. We chose to name our incense cones pyres not intending to convey the literal meaning of the term, but to evoke a connection to the spiritual and an exit from the material. We hope that burning one of our scented pyres will aid in this process.

After introducing our incense pyres to the Blackbird customer, we were shocked at how quickly we sold out of them again and again. We thought it was just going to be a limited, small-run item mostly for fun, but it turns out that they're extremely popular! With that in mind, we've created two new fragrances, Muru and Nahk, and are reintroducing the public to the predecessor to room spray and even to candles: incense.


Blackbird Incense Pyres serve to provide a pleasant and unique aroma to any space. Our cones are black, have a very high concentration of fragrance, burn evenly and consistently, and produce less smoke and more scent. All scents are original and are designed based on perfume concepts, resulting in exceptional fragrances not often found in incense. The small package is very easy to travel with, and also looks fantastic left on display anywhere in the home or office. The lid is intended to be turned over and placed on a surface as the base on which to burn the pyre. This way, you will not spill the ash. Each package contains twenty scented pyres, and each scented pyre, when burnt, will fragrance a small-to-medium sized space for several hours. Each pyre is made and packaged by hand in Ballard, WA.
