First impression? The box arrived with a faint woody scent already leaking through – promising start! The 12-variety pack feels like a treasure hunt for your nostrils.

Burn test: Nag Champa and Dragon’s Blood are absolute stars – complex, earthy, and lingers for hours. But Patchouli? Still smells like hippie regret (sorry not sorry).

Watch out for: 1) Powder fallout when opening packs – wear black pants at your own risk. 2) Burn time averages 25 mins, not the claimed 45. Great for quick meditation sessions though!

Weirdest win: My cat usually hates scents but didn’t flee from White Sage. Meanwhile, the Palo Santo made my minimalist apartment suddenly feel like a mystic’s den.

Final verdict: At $0.20/stick, it’s a solid gateway into premium incense. Just don’t burn Super Hit in small rooms – you’ve been warned!
