FOUNDER

My name is Dewan, and I am thrilled that you're here. My journey with incense began in my childhood, where my grandmother introduced me incense and I was immediately captivated by the beauty of the plumes of smoke carrying it's aroma.

​

As the world stood still during the lockdown, my passion for the luxurious charm of incense was reignited. However, I was disappointed to not find the perfect scent that reminded me of my grandmother's tuberose incense. That's when I decided to craft it myself, perfecting the art of creating incense without any lingering unpleasant odors.

​

I named my incense Alpana, inspired by the Bengali folk art made with rice paste. The tradition of Alpana is passed down, and I feel privileged to continue my grandmother's legacy of incense as home fragrance through my creation. My incense is a reflection of my passion, and I am honored to share it with you.

If you have made it this far, I would love to hear from you. Drop me a line at info@alpana.la to say hello!
