FAQ
What makes this incense suitable for relaxation?+
The blend of sandalwood, lavender, and chamomile has been specifically chosen for their known calming properties. These scents are traditionally used to reduce anxiety and promote a sense of peace.
How long does one stick of incense burn?+
Each stick typically burns for approximately 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of your room and how high you light it. We recommend placing a heat-resistant coaster underneath.
Can I use this incense with an essential oil diffuser?+
While not specifically designed for that purpose, you can experiment! Adding a few drops of lavender or chamomile essential oil to the burning stick might intensify the fragrance – just be cautious and monitor closely.
Is this incense safe for use around pets?+
Generally, yes, but it's always best to supervise your pet when burning incense. Some animals may be sensitive to strong scents; ensure adequate ventilation.
What is the burn quality like?+
Our relaxation incense is formulated for a clean and consistent burn. You should experience minimal soot or ash production, creating a beautiful and fragrant smoke plume.
How do I properly light the incense stick?+
Use a lighter or match to gently ignite the tip of the incense stick. Allow it to catch flame for a few seconds before blowing out any excess flames for a steady burn.
What is the scent throw like?+
The scent throw is medium-strong, providing a noticeable fragrance in rooms up to 200 square feet. Adjusting the number of sticks used can alter the intensity.
Are there any allergens present in this incense?+
While we take precautions, trace amounts of natural ingredients may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. We recommend testing a small amount first.
How should I store the incense sticks to maintain their quality?+
Store your incense sticks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. This will help preserve their fragrance and burn quality for longer.
What is the packaging like?+
The incense comes packaged in a sealed, airtight pouch to protect the fragrance and ensure freshness until you open it. We recommend checking the ‘best by’ date on the packaging.
