Okay, let me start by saying I'm *that* person who lights incense before morning coffee. These Simply Vedic sticks? Total game-changer. The first whiff of the Root Chakra variant (earthy patchouli with a hint of cinnamon) literally made me pause mid-yawn – it’s like aromatherapy with a PhD in vibes.

What surprised me most was how each chakra scent has its own personality. The Heart Chakra (rose + vanilla) turns my chaotic living room into a hygge haven, while Third Eye (frankincense + something mysteriously herbal) is my WFH focus booster. Pro tip: Burn Solar Plexus (citrusy-clove) when you need to adult harder.

The 60+ minute burn time is no joke – I timed it during yoga sessions. Unlike cheaper sticks that either vanish in 20 minutes or smell like burnt plastic, these leave this delicate scent trail that lingers like good gossip. Found myself sniffing the air hours later like some incense bloodhound.

Major bonus: They arrive in these cute individual pouches that make me feel like I’m unpacking tiny spiritual care packages. Gifted a set to my meditation-obsessed sister who now texts me things like 'Crown Chakra saved my Zoom meeting.'

Fair warning – the Throat Chakra (eucalyptus heavy) might overwhelm small spaces, but that’s what windows are for. After cycling through all seven variants twice now, my only complaint is needing to resist the urge to hoard them like a dragon with scented treasure.
