Hosley 480-Pack Assorted Incense Sticks, 12 Scents Incl. Nag Champa, Lavender, Dragon’s Blood, Grab Bag, Ideal for Meditation, Aromatherapy, Home, Gifts

This is nearly the finest incense I have ever owned. I have really bad allergies, so, I have to be careful not to burn too much incense, especially without opening my windows to my apartment with the fan blowing for a bit (I have really, really sensitive allergies). I've also been pretty busy in... the last .. jeez, I just got these three days ago! I have to say, the scent is so sublime, it is like entering a higher plane of existence, almost. This is just incredible incense. If you've admitted to yourself that you are a hedonist, this is something you HAVE to buy!! Yes, it's a bit steep for price up front, but you're buying yourself Paradise for a paltry 3 cents a stick! It is sooo good. Matter of fact, I didn't 'identify' as a hedonist, to use the in-vogue phrasing, until after buying this. I now have no doubt. I very seldom type reviews; but this one demanded it. Ohhhhh.... it is solidly nearly the best incense I have ever bought. I actually was thinking about getting the chance to burn some more on and off for the entire day, today. Also, as a Natural Healer, I can say, eucalyptus and mint are an ideal mix for if you have mental health problems for mood. Technically speaking, I think the whole box may as well be ,though. I haven't sampled any where near half the flavors yet, but, this is the good stuff, make no mistake. Do not buy the stuff from the local drug store/ gas station /Fireworks shop; buy this instead-- or both, but, regardless, you want this. Also if you have sleeping problems, and you're playing around with your doctor/shrink about taking a sleeping pill, but the side effects scare you-- some of this, plus binaural beats relaxation music on YouTube, and make sure you do all the commonly-understood stuff about not eating right before bed, too--- I don't know how well it will work for you, but, honestly ,when I'm tired, it's hard to keep at my desk or cleaning my place up, if I light this stuff up. (not intended as a replacement of medical advice; i have zero medical qualifications, to be clear!) This incense is WONDERFUL. Thank you to the people who made it. It's just so incredibly good. If you're a fellow Occultist, and you need advice on incense, this is a pretty darn good buy! It comes with Sandalwood, Frankincense, and Myrrh, which are great general-purpose incenses for Occult workings, not to mention Lavender, which is specifically good for calming your mind (Frankincense and Myrrh are great for altered state work /meditation, too.) Also, there's a good bit of variety, and most of these incenses are "real" incenses, so you're not left asking yourself what herbs went into "Fresh Rain" or "Spiritual Healing" incense. This is probably one of my top fave aromatherapy buys in years, if not ever. A DELIGHT FOR THE SENSES! And I really do want to light the one I already have at my desk, in the burner/boat, even if I'm not done with evyerthing I needed to do, to properly enjoy it. As they say, you only live once... if you're not sure what incense to buy.... like I said, I don't usually bother typing reviews, even if I should more often... but if it means anything to you, this is not an endorsed review xD. Incense is one of those things we often tell ourselves we can do without. If you're new to incense, or if you've used it for years, I highly recommend this value pack. I cannot guarantee, but, I mean, yes, it's a bit pricey to spend on something you can't eat or sleep on or fix something with; ah, but it is actually very, very cheap, per stick of incense, if you noticed that detail in the product details: 3 cents per stick. This is terrific stuff. Terrific. As I was saying, I really seriously doubt anyone would actually regret buying this. These are hard times for us all; but do yourself a favor, and burn a stick of incense daily from this; I might very well take my own advice, since, after all ,there's literally 40 sticks per type of incense in these packs. I mean, I have horrible allergy problems, and have to be careful not to burn too much incense; but i've begun burning another stick, writing this, and... I need bagpipes, fiddles and flutes... enjoy.

I use to get my incense from the Dollar Store. They seem to frequently be out of stock. Took a gamble and Purchased this. I can not over state my satisfaction. Things like the strawberry scent actually smells like STRAWBERRIES!!!! My dollar Store purchases generally have a defect or won't burn about 1 out of 10 or 15 sticks. These ALL burn wonderfully.

The Majority of these have a pleasnt scent. If you light these and let them burn for 5-10 seconds before extinguishing them, they keep burning until depleted. I really like the Strawberry (It really has a strawberry scent). I'm burning a Sage & Citrus stick now, and it's nice, albeit smells a little like scented soap, but pleasant. The coconut was okay, but had a burned Coconut scent, a little too burnt perhaps! Wife loved the sandlewood. I use them in my open garage to mask some of the less pleasant garage odors.

Hosley's 480 Pack Assorted Incense Sticks offer a delightful journey through a spectrum of scents, from the invigorating Wind to the mystical Dragon's Blood, and the soothing Nag Champa and Lavender Fields, alongside eight additional surprise fragrances. Ideal for home use, meditation, and aromatherapy, the assortment promises a rich aromatic experience. The packaging is pristine yet beautiful, adding a touch of elegance to the product. However, despite the variety and the lovely scents, some packets struggle to maintain a consistent burn, which might indicate a quality control issue. An intriguing feature is that the ash retains the color of the original sticks, a rarity that adds to the charm of these incense sticks. At $15 for 480 sticks, this product provides great value, despite the occasional burn inconsistency. Overall, it’s a worthy purchase for those seeking an extensive and diverse incense collection. Makes a wonderful gift option due to the variety and lovely packaging.

Good price, if you like variety, go for it. Pros: *Variety *Price *Strong fragrance *A few packages came with off-center drilled soapstone stick holders. Only I would notice they're drilled by hand, but they're neat to have. *The packs that came with holders were 50 packs, and the others were 40 packs, so to ensure I got 300 total, they threw in an extra set! Cons: *I have not lit many so far, but some have had difficulty staying lit. *Some have no fragrance, just burnt wood as other reviews have said. *Wide variation of stick diameters may not fit in all holders. *I did not get one of each scent listed, but "assorted" in the title does not mean "1 of each" so it's reasonable. Price is good for variety. Some may not work, may not stay lit or smell like anything, but if the ratio of bad ones remains small to the good ones, it's still a good deal. Some packs included stone stick holders which are neat and probably better as paperweights or decorations, honestly. Free extra stuff is always a plus. 1 star removed because of the quality control. 1 star added because you can't beat the price, and it's expected, and they went a little extra to make sure we got enough of them, maybe to cover the expected bad sticks.

I received my order last week, and upon opening it, I was blown away by the packaging. I immediately started taking pictures, ready to write a glowing 5-star review. The box is very sturdy, everything looked beautiful, and there was even a little card included, perfect for gift-giving. But something told me this might be too good to be true. So, I decided to wait and try them out first. I put all the scents up to my nose, and the fragrance was strong. Some I loved, a couple I didn't care for, but I figured maybe after lighting them, I'd change my mind. I went around to each room, placing and lighting incense sticks. My excitement was sky-high because it seemed like such a good deal—but that faded fast! After lighting them, I noticed oil pooling up on the sticks. I didn't think much of it at first, figuring it was just the scent from dipping. But then, I noticed that some of them wouldn't stay lit—they kept going out. Over the course of a week, I tried different scents, and it was always the same issue. I'm so glad I didn't jump the gun and immediately write a review! Honestly, for the packaging, I'd give 5 stars! I was blown away by the presentation. But I didn't buy them for the packaging; I bought them for the scent, which just isn't there. If you're looking for a gift for someone who loves incense but you're not exactly on "good terms," I'd recommend sending them these. They'll open it and fall in love, but I promise you, they'll be disappointed once they light them!

Great product ! Nice assortment, well pkg'd indiv. boxes ! High quality! + like the free holder!

The fragrances are good, but approximately half of the sticks do not burn completely. The low price, quantity and packaging are attractive. Be prepared to continually re-light or dispose of unburned sticks.
