I was excited to try the Mecka Chill Out Aromatherapy Incense Sticks Gift Set, especially with its promise of seven unique scents for different moods. The packaging is eye-catching, and the idea of having 140 sticks for various purposes—like relaxation, meditation, and stress relief—was appealing.
First, the positives: the scents are indeed diverse. I loved the 'Refreshing' and 'Relaxing' blends—they filled my room with a subtle, calming aroma perfect for my evening yoga sessions. The sticks burn slowly, lasting longer than most incense I’ve tried, which is great for stretching out those moments of zen.
However, not all scents lived up to expectations. The 'Energizing' one had a weird after-smell that lingered uncomfortably, almost like burnt plastic. It didn’t energize me—just made me want to open a window. I also noticed that some sticks barely emitted any fragrance, which was disappointing when I was hoping for a stronger aromatic presence during meditation.
The gift-ready packaging is nice, but the box is bulky and awkward to store. And while the e-learning guide about incense history is a cool bonus, I wish there were clearer instructions on which scents align with specific intentions (like protection or positivity).
Overall, it’s a decent set for the price, especially if you’re experimenting with aromatherapy. But if you’re sensitive to strong or inconsistent smells, you might want to proceed with caution—or skip certain scents altogether.
