Incense is a plant/wood derived material that is made to be burned with the purpose of perfuming the surrounding area with its fragrance. This can be used for aesthetic, medical, religious, aromatherapeutic, or meditation purposes. Occasionally, it is used to ward off insects, or for deodorant. This product is a direct burn type of incense, meaning you light the stick with fire and then blow the flame out, allowing the embers to slowly eat away the material and release its fragrances in the form of smoke. These Incenses are stored in paper tubes. It is sold as a pack of 5, containing 5 different scents: Himalayan Spice (purple), Sandalwood (yellow), Lemongrass (green), Agar Wood (brown), and Spikenard (red).
