Far better than hoped for, finally.
I have to say this was an impressive incense order. I love natural scents and yet have tried a few in this arena, listed as Tibetan and been disappointed. This one however, smells great.Sage-like in some sense, spicy from nutmeg, soft and forest like as well with a possible undertone of vanilla. The blend of herbs softens the sage type aroma and the spices keep it uplifting in a gentle way. I truly enjoy this one. It does relax me and my husband even likes it, stating it reminds him of his grandfathers house as a kid.Too many times recently, I have purchased this type of incense and been inundated by a horrifying pot-like cloud rather than incense of a high grade and great aroma.However, hands down will buy this again, as it exceeded my expectations and is an actual incense with a nice blend of plant scents that produced a pleasant smell. Completely enjoyable.Scent compared to: Sage, spices, vanilla, fire.Pros: Smells natural. Relaxing. A lot of standard Tibetan sized sticks. Brass burner included. Sturdy and well done packaging. AAA ingredients. Nice burn time. Around 40 minutes to an hour.Cons: Honestly, nothing in my opinion, other than my husband says it reminds him of his grandfathers cigars. Some people may not care for that comparison, if true in the least. To me this smells good and it is nostalgic for my husband.

Nice Scent, Attentive Company, Difficult to Insert Into an Incense Holder
It's a very subtle, but soothing and meditative scent. The sticks are thick and so the scent lasts a good 30-40 minutes, which is perfect for doing yoga or just unwinding. This company was very understanding and generous when I told them they had shipped my pack to the wrong address and had essentially lost the order and they quickly shipped me a new pack of incense sticks to my new address. The ONLY thing I'm not crazy about is that the incense is not adhered to a thin wood stick, so you can't fit it in traditional incense burners. When you order from them, they will send you 2 custom sized incense burners that fit their wood-less sticks, but it's still difficult to fit the incense into those. And when it burns out, you have to scoop the ashes out before you can use it again. All in all, this brand of incense would be perfect if they used traditional thin wooden sticks that fit into any incense burner. I do appreciate their willingness to improve however and the fact that they value customer feedback. Thank you PHILOGOD for allowing me to enjoy your product and leave an honest review. Too many companies simply seek praise and not constructive feedback from their customers.

Man new “go to” brand of incense for sure
I meditate every morning at sunrise and incense are part of my ritual. I primarily have used Tibetan incense over the years as they generally provide a natural, earthy aroma. Even so, I have hit and missed with several brands. These are definitely a hit. Featuring a gentle, aroma with hints of cinnamon, sandalwood, pepper and just a touch of floral for good measure. I think these are pretty much what I have been searching for and will certainly be my go to, first choice moving forward. Even better, these incense come well packaged in an attractive cylinder that protects the incense sticks very well. Not one stick was broken! I have found broken sticks to be a major issue with many brands which are packed in boxes. As an added bonus, two small brass burner stands were included as well. My new “go to” brand for sure.

no burner and smells foul
The entire reason I ordered this was for the ceramic burner. I actually wanted the burner and it was like this came free with it. I did not receive a burner. Also, this smells nothing like regular incense. It smells like burning paper or cardboard. No herbal or sweet scent. When you open the cylinder, it kind of smells nice, but it smells foul when burning and I love incense. Something is not right with this. Disappointed :(

A little disappointed
I was looking forward to enjoying all the benefits listed for this incense. It was shipped promptly and arrived well packaged. The cardboard holder itself is beautiful and well made, and the two little brass burners included are of great quality. However, the incense is smoky and the smell is just not good. It only smells of smoke. None of the aromatherapy scents are identifiable or can be appreciated. I cannot stress enough how smoky these are. We were not able to use these for migraine relief which was our intention.

Awesome results!
When I first opened the box I did not like the smell. It smells of wet hemp. The beifits listed seemed so enticing I gave it a try. Buy the end of my first stick I was hooked. I suffer from a variety of things: migraines, intense stress attacks, trouble sleeping etc. All of these have improved in 5 days at 4 sticks per day. It is a very unusual aroma but it grows on you. I am now a lifetime customer. Note: these are the kind of sticks without the wood extension handle. You need a special holder that will hold the stick in place as it entirely burns to ash. Give it a try! Glad I did.********************Addendum: I see many comments that the box did not contain holders (as bonus)I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THIS....SO...pls place the open end of the box and gently shake...voila! OUT CAME TWO SMALL HOLDERS FOR THESE WONDERFUL LITTLE STICKS! You may want to check. I already have holders for every type of incense but I chagemy rating to 10+ now. You will either like or hate the smell. But you will get used to it and they help all stress related issues for me. I love this stuff. Will always have on hand for life. Excellent packaging bonus gifts and product not to mention value for how many sticks you get. Give it a try for 3 to four days then you will see what I mean. LOVE THIS PRODUCT!********************Addendum #2: dont throw away the small portion of stick (still good) that is left from being inside of holder. Put them all in one holder and enjoy! Note I always use the long tip lighters for all incense candles etc. Really not safe with the small regular lighters. You can get these lighters almost everywhere for about $5 or two pack. Be safe be well and enjoy!

False Advertisement; No holder and short burn time
The quality and smell of the sticks are okay, However the adversitement was false in stating that there was a holder included (which there was not) and the burn time would make it lucky to last 15 minutes. I wouldn't buy again

Absolutely wonderful & my personal favorite🧡
This is absolutely my favorite, most relaxing and also coincides with my Canadian Jade 108 bead Mala which I use for prayer & meditation. I will continue purchasing this natural Tibetan Incence under the 'Philogod' name. Highly recommend!!🧡👍👍☯️

A genuine product
I loved that my order arrived on time and was well packed. You get 2 lovely brass incense holders in the the pretty tin. The tin is a eco-friendly tube.The smell is great for meditation, grounding and it leaves a lingering earthy, and rather herbal scent in the room/home. Very lovely. I haven’t tried for a headache yet.
