Church Frankincense and Myrrh Incense Sticks Oliban- 80 Pack, Charcoal Free

Ok. This incense is the real deal and seriously good. I started with a single scent, the Cedarwood &Fir, which we liked very much, so decided to try more varieties and this pack of 12 different scents was perfect for that purpose. While floral, they are not overpoweringly so. They are pleasant and not cloying as some I have tried. They burn very clean and are really long lasting in their burn time. The cost per stick is great and make them a real value. I can highly recommend this variety pack as it will give a fantastic introduction to this unique product. :)

I ADORE this incense. The smell is so warm and cozy. It’s spicy, but not too heavy on the cinnamon. It’s got lovely, warm dark undertones that are so strong and linger for awhile. Even the day after, the room I burned it in smells so inviting and warm. No, it doesn’t smell like “pumpkin,” but Pumpkin Spice anything isn’t meant to smell like pumpkin! (I also would not label it as ‘fruity,’ as the title of the item describes.) Also, the price is amazing for the number of sticks you get. - I tried out a few Amazon pumpkin spice incenses to replace a pack I had bought at a specialty shop, which no longer exists. This is the clear winner out of all the Amazon Pumpkin Spice incenses I tried!

Genuinely the BEST smelling incense ever!!! I grew up going to the D.C Basilica as a kid and it has the PERFECT cathedral authenticity that you're looking for. It lasts about 15-20 minutes for me, and doesn't have an overwhelming, headache scent that some incense has.

I bought the frankincense and myrrh incense. It smelled soo good. There was also a nice note. I wish this young man the best and I appreciate the work that went into making these wonderful sticks. A friend came by, he liked them so much he took some for himself. Buy these, you'll be amazed at the scent, very pleasant and relaxing. You get alot of them for the money as well.

I really like the scent of these incense sticks. I've lived for over 50 years and have smelled a lot of incense. This brand is quite pleasant. There is this cloying soapy odor, however each scent is distinct and has individual characteristics where I know I'm burning something which doesn't smell like every other incense. The "soap" aroma is not bad, it was just not expected and is not offensive, just different. Hands down, Raajsee brand is now my all time favorite. The reason for four stars: Some of the sticks seem to have been mishandled and have cracked the incense from the main stick. Most sticks are 100% intact to be honest. The handling of the sticks could use more care. I would love to get a sample of the Lemon Grass. So far we've used: Japanese Rose, Frank/Myrrh, White Sage, Patchouli, Nagchampa (which was not at all like that cheap Nagchampa I've smelled, much more pleasant), French Vanilla, Jasmine, Sandalwood (again this one was much better than other sandalwoods I've experienced) and Lavender. I'm also interested in a sample of "Ancient Yoga" as it contains clove and I love the scent of cloves.

Love this incense! Smells divine and burns well, definitely recommend!

I was looking for a nice Catholic Church smell for home prayer, and I found it: frankincense & myrrh. It smells exactly how I’d hoped it would.

This product's aroma is too powerful and doesn't smell natural. I've a lot of experience with incense, and I believe that the fact this product claims to contain "IFRA compliant fragrances oil" means that it's got an artificial fragrance. If it weren't, they'd just say what the oil is. And there'd be no need, in my opinion, to mention IFRA. There's no need to be vague if you can proudly say your product contains all natural, organic substances properly extracted from plants. Since I have sensitivies to artificial chemicals, and I reacted as I do with artficial fragrances otherwise, I suggest it is artificial and wonder why the company seems to disguise the fact. UPDATE The maker of this product reached out to me to offer a refund, and commented to me that only the high priced incense products are without artificial ingredients. I did a little reserach, and this seems to be true, from what I can find, which is not as much at all as I'd hoped to find. It's almost as though there is a kind of "don't ask don't tell" in the perfumery world about artificial compounds, so much so that the trade organization that reviews artificial perfume oils was perhaps created to give the sense that some care is made to make the products safe. But there's no way I can confirm the sincerity and efficacy of that group, except personal experience. I've tested some of my incense products, many of which I bought on a whim, some of which are items I tend to keep in stock. I can, after careful testing, detect there are almost certainly some artificially stimulating qualities in some of these products. I have sensitivities to artificail volitile compounds. So, after being very cautious in smelling these incenses again and again, I feel I can detect these in most of them. Other's online confirm a similar experience, but usually, the reaction to anything artificial is more severe than mine. For me, if a product is natural, its fragrance carresses the senses. If it is artificial, it's like a shout. I think that's because the scent is unnaturally amplified by the artificial perfume, losing its naturalness (if there's anything natural present at all). I'm appreciative that this incense maker prompted me to look more deeply into this. I do think some unnatural enhancements are worse than others. Online, many have violent reactions to even those which for me are less intense. It appears to be difficult to find out though what are the ingredients of any product, and that's an enormous disapointment, at least to me. The incense industry should do better, much as the food industry has learned, to make it clear what's in their products. While somewhat obscure, at least this maker included their ingredients in their product. But I believe it would have been better if they stated what the actual ingredients are, specifically, rather than refer to a trade organization. But at least they made some effort.

I burn incense to make my host smell nice. I love the nag Champa scent. It's my most favorite, and I came across this brand that's made with no charcoal which is better for everything. And I can tell the difference, there's more of a fragrance rather than a smoke fragrance. I will certainly buy this instead of other brands. And especially that it helps women in the world. Thank you for your product!

Me ha gustado mucho este incienso pero tengo una pequeña advertencia que darte sobre su aroma. Se describe como "Pine Forest" pero tienes que tener en cuenta que los bosques de pinos no huelen igual en todas las partes del mundo. Como buena gallega, tengo una impresión muy fuerte en mi memoria olfativa y afectiva de cómo huelen nuestros bosques de pinos. Es el olor de un paseo por el monte a finales de otoño, con frío en el aire y agujas de pino en el suelo bajo los pies, con la tierra mojada y el olor a ozono y a sal que trae el viento desde el mar (porque en Galicia, días después de una tormenta, podemos oler el aire de mar incluso kilómetros tierra adentro). Nuestro pino es el pino atlántico, que huele a resina, acre y a la vez muy fresco, con un toque cítrico. Pero como decía, los bosques huelen diferente en diferentes partes del mundo porque cambia el tipo de pino, cambia el suelo, cambia el clima... En la caja de este incienso dice que recrea la experiencia de una acampada en el parque Yosemite y es algo que me encaja completamente: el pino californiano huele más dulce, más a madera seca y a nueces. Una experiencia de acampada siempre incluye una pequeña fogata, así que no es de extrañar que este incienso tenga un toque de aroma a leña muy seca ardiendo en una hoguera. Combina eso con el aroma de las flores de las ofrendas de los templos, que es lo que esta marca usa en lugar de carbón como base para elaborar el incienso, y el resultado es un olor muy agradable. A mi me encanta. Solo que no puede estar más alejado del olor de un bosque de pinos atlánticos o de el olor de un abeto en invierno. Así que si tu expectativa es que huela fresco, verde, ácido, a resina y a lluvia, que sepas que es justo lo contrario: cálido, seco, amaderado, tostado y también ligeramente floral. 😊 ARDE MUY BIEN Cada varilla da un poquito menos de una hora de encendido. Arden muy bien, con un humo blanco que hace un cordón denso y muy visible. Dejan trozos de ceniza compacta, con muy poco polvo, fáciles de limpiar. Me ha gustado mucho la presentación en el interior de la caja, con una hoja en la que te cuentan la historia de la marca y una fotografía de uno de los grupos comunitarios de mujeres que hacen las varillas y conos de incienso de forma artesanal. Muy recomendable.

I recently purchased a pack of white sage incense sticks, and I must say, they have transformed my relaxation and meditation routine. As someone who values the benefits of aromatherapy, I was eager to try these out. Here’s my detailed review based on my experience: **Aroma:** The first thing that struck me when I lit the white sage incense stick was the refreshing, earthy scent that filled the room. The fragrance is both cleansing and invigorating, creating a serene atmosphere that is perfect for meditation, yoga, or simply unwinding after a long day. Unlike some incense that can be overpowering, the aroma of white sage is subtle yet distinct, offering a balanced scent that is pleasing to the senses. **Purifying Properties:** Traditionally, white sage is known for its purifying qualities, often used in smudging rituals to cleanse spaces and promote positive energy. I felt a noticeable difference in the ambiance of my home when I burned these incense sticks. The scent seemed to lift any stagnant energy, leaving behind a sense of calm and clarity. It’s an excellent addition to any space where you want to create a peaceful environment. **Burn Quality:** The burn quality of these incense sticks is impressive. They ignite easily and burn steadily, producing a consistent stream of smoke without going out mid-burn. Each stick lasts a considerable amount of time—approximately 30 to 45 minutes—allowing me to fully enjoy the experience without needing to relight them frequently. **Packaging:** The packaging is simple yet elegant, with a design that reflects the natural essence of the product. The incense sticks are neatly arranged and well-protected, which ensures they arrive in perfect condition. Additionally, the packaging provides helpful information about the benefits of white sage, enhancing the overall experience. **Versatility:** I appreciate the versatility of these incense sticks. They are perfect for various occasions, whether I’m meditating, practicing yoga, or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home. They also serve as a wonderful backdrop during gatherings or rituals, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere for guests. **Affordability:** Considering the quality and experience these white sage incense sticks provide, they are very reasonably priced. A single pack contains a generous number of sticks, making it an affordable choice for those who incorporate incense into their daily routine. **Conclusion:** In summary, white sage incense sticks are a delightful addition to any aromatherapy collection. Their calming aroma, purifying properties, and excellent burn quality make them stand out from other incense options. I highly recommend these to anyone looking to enhance their meditation practice, create a peaceful home environment, or simply enjoy the soothing benefits of white sage. You won’t be disappointed with this purchase!
