Incense Sticks

Shop incense sticks in a range of fragrances, lengths and pack sizes. Use a holder designed for the stick's construction and dimensions, with room to catch falling ash. Compare the selected variant and pack details to find an option that suits your setup.

Compare length, fragrance and quantity

Start with the detail that matters to your order: a fixed count, a count range or a stated stick length.

• 40 sticks, in two inner boxes: Tibet Manna Incense Sticks contains two boxes of 20. It has one purchase option and a listed earthy, herbal scent. Stick dimensions are not specified.
• 120 sticks, with a fragrance choice: 120/Box handmade incense sticks offers Wu Chen, Wormwood, Sandalwood, Agilawood, Cedar and Old Sandalwood. Select one option; the pack is not listed as a six-scent assortment. Stick dimensions are not specified.
• Approximately 150–170 short sticks: Natural Short Stick Incense offers Sandalwood, Thuja, Wormwood or Agarwood. The count is a range, and an exact stick length is not supplied. Confirm measurements before choosing it for a small holder.
• A stated 21 cm length: 21cm Sandalwood Incense Sticks offers Australia Sandalwood, Indonesian Agarwood or Taiwan Herbal. The pack count is not specified, so ask before comparing cost per stick.

For a fixed quantity, compare the 40- and 120-stick packs. For the short-stick range, allow for the lower stated count when planning an order. None of these counts establishes total burning hours.

Length alone does not establish holder compatibility. Check thickness and whether the stick has an exposed bamboo stem or is coreless; the support must suit that construction. Fragrance names describe the listed option and do not establish a complete ingredient list.

Choose a holder that fits

• Secure support: a small opening for a bamboo stem may not fit a thicker coreless stick. Follow the holder's stated uses.
• Ash collection: the holder should collect ash along the stick's burning length.
• Stable placement: put the holder on a heat-resistant surface away from anything that can burn. Do not balance a loose burning stick on a plate or furniture.

Browse incense holders and confirm the dimensions and supported format. If fit is unclear, ask about the specific stick and holder before ordering.

Burn time and first use

Use the duration listed for the particular product, if provided. Size, formulation and conditions affect burning time and fragrance strength. Neither a long stick nor a “natural” label makes it suitable to leave unattended.

Follow the instructions supplied with the incense and holder, including which end to light. Keep the room ventilated and the setup away from children and pets. Stay with burning incense, extinguish it before leaving or sleeping, and let the stick, ash and holder cool completely before cleaning.
