Fragrance of the Forest - 24 Balsam Sticks and Holder - Paine's Fir Balsam Incense

Value for money:Good

Disappointed with this product. They smell great up close, but we couldn't get them to burn. The one we did get to burn just smelled like smoke and we worried it would set off our smoke detector. One stick broke off in the cheap piece of wood they drilled a hole in to burn so we had to throw that away. Overall, unfortunately all junk we will have to throw away.

This is a slightly smoky sent (not unexpected from insense I guess!), but it is a very authentic Christmas tree sent, as if you were standing next to a tree! Wanted to leave a review to help anybody who might have trouble getting to light and stay lit - you really need to get it burning much more than a smaller stick of incense since it’s so thick. Don’t give up on it!

When burning these do not leave unattended these are not typical incense sticks they are what I believe called jos sticks. They come with a wooden base to insert these, but you will have to make the whole bigger.

These were very popular in the 50s and 60s to use along with the log cabin . I remember them well. A good friend bought me a cabin but could not find the balsam cones. My only comment is that they don't work well in the cabin since they scorched the roof and also no smoke comes out the chimney like it should. I ended up using the cones separately by burning them on a saucer next to the little cabin. Love the scent of fresh balsam and it brings back lovely memories.

I really wanted to like this product- the scent, the simplicity of the packaging and the incense holder. And it smelled really great, for about 2 of the sticks. Since then, I cannot get the incense to burn despite holding the flame on it for a prolonged period. And then doing it again. It just will not ignite. And I live in Albuquerque- it doesn't get drier than here, in the desert!!!So, I do not recommend this product- there is something seriously lacking in a stick of incense that will not burn! sorry.

I hate incense and fake scent of any kind. It usually makes me sick.These little sticks are *so* amazing. Your room will smell like a cabin with a wood burning stove in a pine forest instantly which is synonymous with total relaxation for me.I sometimes feel like a whole stick smokes me out where as half a stick creates the ambiance with less ingredient.Regardless these are the best "incense" on the market.

What a disappointment. It didn't fill my living room with the scent of balsam, it smelled like burning paper and started giving me a headache. Returned.
