These are very good quality incense. The variety pack I purchased (The Magic Hour) is not "incense-y" necessarily in the traditional sense of incense. It is clean burning (no black smoke) and the way it diffuses and smells in the air is almost reed diffuser like. It's a more even distribution of scent in the air that has a lightness to it. It isn't in any way subtle, the scent of one incense will fill up a medium size room adequately. But it will not put you in a choke hold as with masala hand rolls or punched you in the face with overly synthetic fragrance as with cheaper synthetic oil dipped incense. The scent of these are not fully natural like Japanese or Tibetan incense. They seem to be a cross between them all, reed diffusers, hand dips and all naturals. But they are very well blended and each scent has its own vibe. They are also thoughtfully packaged (plastic in individual cardboards) so that the scents don't bleed into eachother while packed in the same box. That's an issue I've experienced with purchasing so many variety packs over the years. And of course, the packaging is super cute, so, Plus+Plus. There's room enough in my mood and personality for all the incense mentioned above, so this is a "no hate" review. Pixie Island smells like mens cologne out the package and changes a bit in the air. But it isn't offensive. It's like mens blue fragrances if anyone is into the fragrance world. It's more of a masculine vibe then a neutral ocean type scent. But good. Mystic Sea gives off a scented sachet vibe out the box but becomes a bit more ozone-niactic in the air. It's a little complex to discribe accurately but It's a light fragrance, breezy almosts, compared to the others, but it's pleasant. Enchanted Forest is the heaviest punch of the bunch. If you like masala hand rolls and powdery rose scents, this has more of that robust feel. The rose signature in this scent is very pronounced and this scent will hang around awhile. Tree of life has a tad bit of an astringent almost citrus and a very light herbal smell out the box. In the air it gives off more of a green vibe. (again, if you're into the world of fragrances) It's like picking a fresh tea leaf and crushing it between your fingers and getting a whiff of that fragrance while burning one twig of the tea bush itself. This flavor is also on the lighter side in the air. Boho Escape is almost sunscreen-y out the box. I actually like this scent. In the air it's almost lactonic with a pinch of cocoa butter vibe. Like condensing heavy cream with a touch of cocoa powder on the stove that's just on the verge of burning, scorching the bottom and sides of the pan. The steam and smell hangs in the air and as it hits the nostils and lands at the back of the tongue you get an almost burnt taste, but also, ya kinda like it. There is definitely a fruity undertone there, but for me, I get more of that milkness. It's a cozy feel. Free Spirit out the box smells like when you peel an fresh orange, that initial burst when your nails break through the peel, that citrus tang with the slightest undertone of the bitter from the rind. In the air you still get the citrus but with a bit of spiciness that may scratch you softly at the back of your throat. Could be from the natural woods of the base of the incense itself mixed with the essential oils of this particular scent as it burns. Anyways, this brand seems to have many many flavor options and I've already ordered 2 more variety packs. I love fragrances and incense and have been using incense since my mid-teens. I've tried so many types and flavors over the years including burning straight-up herbs and woods. I just love letting my nose send happy signals to my brain. I would recommend this brand for the sheer variety they offer at a fair price point, but also for the quality of the clean burning sticks and well blended scents. Have fun lightin'up peeps!

I already ran out and have been chasing all the aqua tones from this brand, including the cones on the trippie hippie. LOVE THE ORIENTAL AQUA SO MUCH! The smells linger 24 hrs. It makes me happy. Can we please have a box of this on its own? Note: the rest on this set might be an acquired smell for some as it is for me… they smelled burnt but probably just me. Review below is also a review on the rest. My daughter bought this brand (A fresh Start) and I was hooked. I decided to buy my own along with the magic hour set. I went through Palo Alto/Sandalwood quickly. I love rose & geranium smell on the fresh start but the ones on the magic hour set smells different. I was hoping Ocean Salt is better but they smelled burnt when lit. I was so addicted I bought the sleep set, moonshine and the magic hour incense along with the Hippie Cones. Sleep Sets- I love them all! Only set that I probably love em all. Aqua Oud is my fave on this set. (Similar to Oriental Aqua which I rave and my go to daily) Moonshine - I love the Palo Alto/Sandalwood. Subtle relaxing smell. (I had to buy The Palo Alto Cedar on its own set) Magic Hour- Pixie Island is the only thing I liked so far- the rest smells like burnt. Suffocating. There are similar scent from the Fresh Start but they don’t smelled burnt when burning them. They smell so good prior to burning them though. I guess it’s production issue- not consistent on mixing. I’ve been chasing all the aqua tones! Please make oriental aqua (Pixie Island), Aqua Oud (Sleep), Aqua Cedar (Trippie Hippie Cones) on its own box along with the Palo Alto/Sandalwood. Palo Alto Cedar is good too but slightly different. I ran out of them already. I have some in my office, kitchen, living room and my bedroom. 5 stars all the way even with then inconsistencies…

First time trying incense and this brand looked good. Overall the sticks burn nice and linger for about 2-3 hours afterwards. I like to use these after making dinner and there is a strong leftover food odor in the air. These work great for clearing out the smell. I did not like the orange or pineapple scents at all, but could just be my preference. I liked smelling them in the package, but they had a completely different, almost bad burning smell when I was burning them. The other 4 scents I really enjoy and plan to try other varieties from this company after I finish this set.

Great smell! Definitely can tell it was made with quality ingredients! Love all the smells

I am really impressed with these insence, they smell amazing!

Packaging was great- the reviews bought me in as well, and I was so disappointed to realize how horrible these smelled. They burn really quickly and they're REALLY strong. Usually, my incense does travel throughout the house, but it didn't even take a few minutes before I could smell these from another room. That isn't really my worst complaint though. The scents were fine when I smelled them before I burned them, but once I did, they all smelled the same and really bad. I'm not sure what happened here, but the smell before burning smells nothing like how it's burned- which is unusual to me. They all smell like wood with a little bit of rose, but in a weird way. I tried to see if more ventilation would make it smell better, but it didn't. Won't be getting this product in the future

I originally bought these about a year ago and when I went to replace them I tried to save $2 and went with a different brand… boy did I regret it! These are so good, I don’t find them too fast burning but I do wish it would linger longer. The smells are lovely, clean, and exactly what I didn’t expect incense to smell like which is more fresh than Smokey and thick. I’ll keep using this brand from now on and won’t even because out to others anymore. Worth the money for sure.

Beautifully blended high quality incense. This is charcoal free and has a nice burn time. They are my favourite brand of incense because of the lovely varied fragrances they bring. Check out their other incense sets, well worth the cost.

Has taken as present to friends and family. Everyone loved it, since each box has got multiple scents. Also they are hand made and ecologically friendly.

Sehr schöne düfte...

My friend recommended me this aroma sticks and since that time they are my favorite 😍!

I've never used incense sticks before, so I didn't really know what to expect but I'm so glad I chose this brand for my first! They smell a-m-a-z-i-n-g! I've only used the "Ocean Salt" and the "Maple Leaves" so far, but I'm so excited to try the rest. They burn for a long time and leave a lovely lingering smell afterwards. The holder that comes with it is great as well and catches the ash. The holder stains your fingers a little bit so just be careful!
