Phool is known for its exquisite range of incense sticks that are not only made from natural and sustainable ingredients but also promote social responsibility.

He created a sustainable solution by recycling these flowers and transforming them into incense sticks and cones. The brand’s mission is to reduce temple waste, provide sustainable employment opportunities, and promote responsible consumerism.
