24-Ingredient Traditional Chinese Incense Sticks

These traditional Chinese incense sticks blend 24 botanical ingredients, including Tibetan cypress, white sandalwood, agarwood, saffron, spikenard, rhodiola, frankincense, benzoin and osmanthus. Elm bark powder binds the kneaded mixture.

The fragrance opens with wood and herbs, followed by warm resins, saffron and soft floral notes. Sandalwood, agarwood and a lingering herbal note form the finish. You might enjoy it while reading, drinking tea or meditating.

The sticks come together in an orange-red textured box with a natural cork base, for personal use or gifting.

Use and care

Place one stick securely in a compatible incense holder on a heat-resistant, ash-catching tray. Light the tip, gently extinguish the flame and allow the incense to smoulder. Use in a ventilated space. Keep away from children, pets and flammable objects, and never leave burning incense unattended. Store unused sticks in a dry place.

For fragrance enjoyment. Traditional botanical ingredients describe the composition; this product is not sold as a medical treatment.
