Natural Resin ~ Gum Benzoin ~ Loban - Sambrani Incense Sticks (5 Pack Total of 50 Sticks)

I’m an incense snob and typically only buy pure resins or work with herbs and oils but for work I prefer a nice stick incense to burn in my space as it’s less smoke and lasts a bit longer. This incense did NOT disappoint. It has a very rich fragrance and actually *is* ground resin on the stick -not- oil dipped scent sticks. The benzoin is rich and sweet and I am in love. Just made my third order and can’t get enough. Excellent product at an excellent price. Highly recommend.

The scent is as described - and what I was looking for. Thick sticks burn a little more slowly, so they last. They arrived packed well and in time.

I purchased the gum benzoin variety. I am glad finally got a product that smells like the exotic jhuna smell used back home(India). No essential oil dipped floral fragrance. Just the fragrance of the resin. The stick is longer and thicker than regular sticks. Burns fully. Lighting takes 2 secs extra since it is thicker. The only reason I deducted a star is the smell of jhuna(benzoin) is not strongest as found in sticks purchased in India. However the smell lingers even after it done burning. If used in smaller space it might enhance the fragrance around. Since my puja mandir is in a huge, high ceiling area, the fragrance tends to diffuse. Definitely not value for money. Could have benefitted if they sold 10 packets instead of 5 for that price.

Burn time is at least 30 minutes. Has that very pleasant, slightly sharp benzoin fragrance without being sweet or overpowering. Nice lingering presence after done burning.

I was looking forward to this product. When i open the package, got little scent but it smelled good, so had lot's of hope, when i burned it, tge only thing i could smell was smoke and like something is burning. To the point my nose hurt, again like when smelling a fire or something. Horrible product, is supposed to be natural they may just be using essential oils instead of the resin or something that the scent evaporated because even the other sticks in the open bix have lost their scent

The filler overpowers the benzoin. It's recommended to buy authentic resin and place over camphor instead of charcoal which is toxic. I received a fast refund.

Best smell, I order this again and again

Loban/ Sambrani , a variety of benzoin, as resin crystals over burning coal has been used for centuries in India not just for rituals but also for extensive fumigation during times of epidemics. To find this in the form of convenient incense sticks is great. Most brands I have used so far lack the purity of this product that Auroshika makes. I am glad that I can avail of this product during the Covid pandemic period in the US.
