    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I burn incense safely?

    Place the stick securely in a heat-safe holder, away from anything flammable, curtains, pets or draughts. Light the tip, let it burn for a few seconds, then blow out the flame so it smoulders and releases fragrance. Never leave burning incense unattended.

    How long does one stick burn for?

    Each stick burns for approximately 20-30 minutes, and a box of 60 sticks gives you roughly 20-30 hours of total burn time, depending on the scent.

    How do I put the incense out?

    Dip the smouldering tip in water, or press it firmly against a hard, heat-resistant surface until the ember is fully extinguished.

    Will the scent be too strong for a small room?

    Our incense is designed to be long-lasting without being overpowering — a gentle background scent rather than a headache-inducing one. If a room is small, crack a window or door for airflow.

    What are the incense sticks made from?

    Each stick is hand-dipped in Victoria, Australia, using a blend of essential oils and phthalate-free fragrance blends — no harsh synthetic shortcuts.

    Is it safe to burn incense around pets or children?

    Treat it the same as any open flame or smoke source — burn in a well-ventilated space, out of reach of children and pets, and never leave it unattended. If anyone in the home has respiratory sensitivities, ventilate well or consider our alcohol-free perfume oils or diffuser oils instead.
