I have sampled real rolled resin frankincense incense sticks from a reputable brand, I absolutely smell it in this. I can also tell by the grey color of the stick and the longer burn time (in comparison to ordinary incense) that there is real resin in these. This is wonderful stuff, very high quality. No charcoal BBQ odor to it, just pure resins and something sweetly aromatic. I don’t know why people compare this to Nag Champa, it does NOT smell like that, and yes it contains actual church resins- I smell them in it. As for the reviews saying this doesn’t smell like their church’s incense, Eastern Orthodox churches use many different scents for different occasions. There isn’t one deinitive “church smell”. This is authentic and lovely and it lasts longer than most sticks do, so you get great value for the price. I adore frankincense and this is IT.

I purchased these because an entertainer mentioned on TV recently that he burned the scent Palo Santo, and how it was good for meditation, spiritual cleansing etc. Good scent. I think the price is good but the sticks are very thin and extremely short. I thought it was a bargain for 120 sticks but I’ve already burned one box in a couple of days. There are 6 boxes 20 sticks in each box. I went to a local large flea mkt yesterday and because I just purchased these I paid attention to those being sold there. What I noticed and confirmed is what I thought that I remembered from burning incense many.. many years ago that is that they were long and thick and would last along time in comparison to these they are short and thin and burn very fast. I don’t normally burn incense, I prefer oils and candles. Incense are messy. That being said the fragrance is nice, price is right. I take it that this fragrance may be difficult to find. I only asked one vendor at the flea mkt if he carried it in an oil, he Saud no but he was familiar. The origin is South America. There are at least another 10 vendors there that have oils & incense. I will continue to search around for it, not sure I will order the incense again. I’m considering the oil but like with everything on this platform it’s challenging ordering many times based on reviews. I did order an incense tray that came with a brush which is nice to get these messy ashes up.

These lavender incense sticks burn beautifully and smell amazing. They create a calming atmosphere with a delightful lavender scent. Highly recommend for a soothing and aromatic experience!

I love HEM lavender. It’s a very soft, perfume-like smell not floral or pungent as lavender should be.

The amount for the money is spot on and they last for months even for avid burners like me. Burn time is the one thing that isn’t good-it’s very short so I end up lighting about four per day. Sometimes you get some that aren’t rolled well and appear far too thin.

They’re black incense so very easy to light. I keep these in stock for aroma therapy & meditation.

Me encanta el aroma, muy relajante. 😎

HEM is always a great smelling product with great intensity. The quality is nice and the variety of smells is great. It burns as it should
