The Twentynine Palms Book Festival returns November 13-15 2025
You know that moment when the sun goes down, the air cools, and the desert takes on a whole new personality? This is the scent for that moment.
We love Desert Kush for its unexpected mix of bright citrus and smoky, earthy warmth. Juicy yuzu and grapefruit bring a fresh, lively opening, while a distinctly hempy, kushy heart settles into smoky teakwood. The result is bold but laid-back, earthy but refined — a little mysterious, without taking itself too seriously.
And what exactly is kush? The word is commonly associated with a family of cannabis strains named after the Hindu Kush mountain range, between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Here, it evokes that distinctive earthy, herbal, slightly resinous scent — without needing to go anywhere near the mountains.
A little atmosphere, wherever you are. The handy tin holds 25 incense cones, ready to slip into your travel bag or suitcase. Take them on a desert road trip, to a weekend cabin, or simply use them at home when you want to turn an ordinary evening into something a little more special.

Why it's here
We like products that create a mood, not just fill a space. dilo founder Dave DiLorenzo believes fragrance can change how a moment feels, and Desert Kush captures something we love about life out here: the contrast between bright desert days and smoky, slow-moving evenings.
Light a cone. Let the citrus fade into the woodsmoke. Consider your evening plans officially sorted.
