Top 5 Incense Sticks Variety Set Bulk 500 Pack - 11" Sticks, 5 Bundles of 100 Sticks Per Bundle - Dragons Blood, Frankincense and Myrrh, Lavender, Nag Champa, and Sandalwood.

This collection of incense is really quite impressive and it's a lot of bang for your buck. I will be honest and say that when I saw that the sticks were supposed to total 425-500 sticks I thought "yeah, right. probably a typo". What made me buy it was the amazing scents that were featured and the price. I figured it would be an awesome deal should the amount of incense be truth. When I received the shipment it was a pretty decent weight. When I pulled the packages out I thought holy mother of scents this is a lot of incense! I completely believe that there are at least well over 400 in those packages, combined, and I am completely thrilled.The FragrancesDragons Blood: This scent was a reason why I purchased. I had been eyeing dragon blood for a while now but was always afraid to pull the trigger on purchasing it. Some people hate the fragrance, citing that it smells like old ladies; others swear by it while citing that it has a somewhat floral fragrance; unique but special. This was the first one I lit and I was blown away at how sharp and strong the fragrance was, very heady. I think that it smells a lot like flowers, spice and something else mixed in there that I can't quite put my finger on. I absolutely love it and I'm glad that I have many sticks of it.Frankincense and Myrrh: Not too long ago I actually had frankinscense incense. I ended up throwing in the towel no more than 1/4th into the first stick because it was just too harsh and smelled a lot like dirt which I didn't like. I then read up on frankinscense to see what the general consensus was on that fragrance and I found that most opinions I read only liked it when mixed in with myrrh. Myrrh adds a sweet dimension to the fragrance and makes it very pleasant to smell. The earthy undertone is still there but it's like magic when paired and I'm thrilled with the result.Nag Champa: I have tried a couple different types of nag. The most known, Satya Sai Baba, which is my ultimate favorite. Another brand being Shanthimalai (the red box) but I really wasn't fond of that (there's a review on that somewhere on this account) and the last being Blue Pearl champa with vanilla. The reason why I love the Satya Sai Baba is because it's just the right amount of sweetness which is offset by woody undertones. It's very pleasant. This brand of nag smelled fine but what I was missing was the woody fragrance. Ideally that's not going to be present due to the sticks being made of coal so what you get is just the incense in which might be more recognizable by those who burn resin. The fragrance isn't bad but it does overwhelm me just a little. I still love the scent all the same, it's just best burned in small spades for me.Opium: The only opium incense I have ever smelled was Spiritual Sky's rendition which smelled like the opium oil that my mom used to wear but had a somewhat uncomfortable feeling to it, like there was too much coal fragrance burning with it which made my stomach hurt. I don't really burn it much. My mom used to wear an oil called opium #40 and this smells almost completely the same and for that reason I am very greatful for this pack. I normally burn the opium incense when I want to feel close to her and the fragrance is really on point.Jasmine: The jasmine fragrance is very fresh smelling, almost as if you are smelling a fresh bouquet of flowers. It's a lovely scent that reminds me of a warm summer night. The fragrance is very warm and exciting, which balances this set out nicely.When lighting the incense sticks please take note that there are some sparks that may shoot from the stick. I don't advise that you light this close to furniture, your clothes or too close to the floor as a safety precaution. If you are used to lighting incense then there should be no issues but for the newbies please take note as these do spark more than normal. Don't catch yourselves on fire, promise? If you do don't forget to stop, drop and roll. No running around, don't try to be a hero. Collectively this selection is wonderful and the quality is top notch. If you're on the fence about purchasing allow me to nudge you off. You won't be sorry!

Plant Guru incense is now one of my go-to brands. The sticks are of high quality - easy to light, stays lit, consistent burn, and good strong scents.Opium - This is the only Opium I have tried. I find it sweet and inviting. Can be overpowering in a small room.Nag Champa - Of the 4 different nag champa brands that I have tried, this is tied for the lead.Dragon's Blood - This is the first time I have tried a Dragon's Blood. Apparently it is not for me - or I need a larger space to burn it in.Jasmine - Exactly what you would expect from a quality jasmine incense stick. Softer scent than the others in this pack.Frankincense & Myrrh - Definitely head and shoulders above the other brands of frankincense & myrrh that I have tried (Bless, HEM). Well balanced.EDIT. After spending more time with the above scents and trying a couple of other Plant Guru incenses (Vanilla Fantasy and Coco Mango), I've been overwhelmed by the perfuminess of most of their offerings. I still do find that the Frankincense & Myrrh and Nag Champa are still among my favorites, and the others are decent with enough ventilation (or large enough room), so I won't lower the stars I gave them.

These incense sticks smell great and each one lasts just as long as advertised. Each fragrance comes in it's own zip-lock bag as seen in their picture. They are great to help make a stinky room smell nice, or just to have a little extra fragrance in the air.They are easily turned off by crushing the orange-lit part off on an incense stand, and the remaining stick can then be re-lit later. However, if left outside of the zip-lock bag too long the fragrance of the stick will dissipate and have little to no smell when you get around to burning it. With 500 sticks you can give some away to a friend or just have a lot to last for a long time.One thing that I did not like is that some of the sticks appear to be fused together. That is there are some jumbo fragrance sticks with two wooden sticks at the bottom. They can be torn apart easily enough but doing so makes a little bit of a mess, and they seem to not have enough fragrance individually at that point (or one gets the majority of the fragrance and the other is left with an inadequate amount). This however is not that big of a deal to me, maybe there are extra sticks in the packages to compensate for this. I did not go through each one counting to check that there are 100 exactly.With all that said, I would recommend these for someone looking to get a great deal on a lot of Incense sticks!

Updated 03/27/2020: Purchased these incense back in January....... I think personally that they are worth the asking price. The burn time for these are between 50 and 60 minutes which is great. They are strong enough for me. I expect to have a couple of chipped sticks, but I haven't found any thus far. These are quality sticks, in fact better than the ones I can find at Walmart or a discount mall. I would and will buy these again. I would also recommend these incense. I am very particular about the things I buy and I have no problems with these. You can definitely smell these through their packaging and that's a good thing!!! Great products!!!!
