Growing up, incense was always part of how my family prayed — a calming presence in our home. Turning back to incense as an adult is how I discovered the beautiful ancient art of incense sealing.
WHY WE EXIST
For everyone searching for the way back.
I was blessed to have access to something that helped me out of a difficult time — and I realised most people in this part of the world had never even heard of incense sealing. Because of how it had changed my life, I wanted the people who needed it, like I did, to experience it too.
Before Peoni & Stone existed — when it was still just an idea — more than 700 people joined the waitlist. That was when I knew Peoni & Stone had to exist: for the 700 and counting who were looking for a way to reconnect with themselves, and to feel worthy of receiving self-love again.
Peoni & Stone launched in February 2026, as Australia's first brand dedicated to incense sealing. We hand-blend our incense powders, bloom aromatherapy and floral teas in our small Sydney studio, using locally sourced, sustainable Australian agarwood and sandalwood.
THE NAME
WHY PEONI & STONE
Peoni represents the delicate peony flower — beautiful, yet vulnerable. Stone represents stability and strength. Together they symbolise yin and yang: the fragility and vulnerability we feel as people, and the inner strength and courage we build to overcome adversity. It's a name that speaks to what we stand for — and to the people we built this for.
THE WAY WE WORK
What we stand for
Premium ingredients, thoughtfully sourced
Our agarwood comes from CITES-certified, sustainably grown plantations in Queensland and the Northern Territory. Our sandalwood is Santalum spicatum — the prized Western Australian variety, one of the most sacred botanicals in the world. Every blend is entirely natural, with no synthetic substitutes.
Slow self-care
Self-care has become a noisy industry. We believe the most powerful versions are rooted in ancient wisdom, proven over centuries, made with the best ingredients, and chosen because they work for you.
Authenticity
Incense sealing has been practised for over a thousand years. We're not here to reinvent it — we honour it for what it is, translating it for a modern audience.
Made by hand, not drop-shipped
We are not a drop-shipping business. Every product is either specially curated or made by hand in our Sydney studio. When you place an order, it's packed here — often by me.
Quality & craftsmanship
Every blend is made by hand, in small batches, using the finest natural ingredients. The shortcuts normalised across the wellness industry are not part of our process.
Intention over perfection
Your ritual doesn't need to look a certain way. What matters is the few quiet minutes you give yourself.
What began as a personal practice has grown into a cherished name within Australia's wellness community.
If you've found your way here, you're most likely looking for the same thing I was.
I hope you've found it here with us.
Welcome to Peoni & Stone.
Restore with ritual.
