    Great value for money & lasting smell.

    I was surprised with how many incense come in this packet. It would actually make a great gift because they are individually boxed. They smell lovely when you open the packet. I am not normally a fan of incense fragrance because I don't like the potent aroma. I chose vanilla I thought it would be a…

    Long lasting authentic scent. Really like this product.

    I have always bought and used sandalwood incense sticks over the years but by far the Stamford product is easily my best buy. This is the second time I've purchased this product and have to say I'm really happy with it. The smell is authentic sandalwood and not overly strong like some other incense…

    From Bombay with love

    Love the smell of these sticks. It took me a while to find them, but I first came across them when visiting the restaurant Dishoom in Manchester. The scene struck me as soon as I walked into the restaurant - now I have the same effect in my home. Horses for courses and all that, but a big thumbs up…

    Best incense Sticks ever

    I decided to spend quite a lumpy sum on this box and I don't regret it. The great thing is that I can give away a few small packs as gifts to my family + have plenty left for myself (the packs are sealed). The smell is delicious, yet not overwhelming and it leaves the room smelling nice for several…

    I was worried

    Lots of reviews saying they don't smell like real Nag Champa. Mine came cut open too so I expected the worst but as someone that's grown up with Nag Champa constantly burning in my home (34 years) They smell exactly like Nag Champa, they burn well. I can't see the issue, I've burnt Nag Champa that…

    The aroma from these are Lush!

    From Stanford, these incense sticks last around 35 minutes per burn. The aroma is relaxing and a lot less stringent than other scents. I've used Nag Champa Sticks before but these beat them hands down. There are 20 sticks per box and the 6 pack box contains 120 Sticks and cost less than £7 whereas…

    Stamford Floral incense

    Back in the late 70s/early 80s, I was a huge fan of Spiritual Sky incense. Sadly, they became more difficult to find in the UK. Govinda were another reliable brand, but more recently, the joss sticks on offer have been pretty mediocre, all smelling quite samey, and being quite smoky. I tried Satya…

About this product

The lotus scent in the room
  • The fragrance is floral and steady, made for background atmosphere rather than a sharp burst of perfume.
  • As the smoke rises, it gives a room a more ceremonial feeling, especially beside a candle, journal or meditation cushion.
  • The black and gold box brings a more dramatic note to a shelf, with lotus artwork and a Buddha image visible on the pack.
  • The sticks themselves are warm brown in tone, with pale uncoated ends for placing in a holder.
Incense from India

This incense comes from India and sits within the Banjara Buddha Incense range. The presentation is richly detailed, with gold accents against a black background, echoing the lotus motif carried through the design.

How to burn it safely

Light the coated tip, then gently blow it out so the end glows. Place the plain end in a heat-resistant incense holder or ash catcher, keeping it away from draughts, fabrics and anything flammable.

Burn incense in a ventilated room and never leave it unattended.

The lotus and Buddha imagery

In Buddhist tradition, the lotus is closely associated with awakening, clarity and rising through difficulty while remaining unstained by the mud it grows from. Paired here with Buddha imagery, the design gives the incense a contemplative mood without needing to say much. Many people use incense like this to open a meditation space, mark the start of an evening practice, or bring a sense of ceremony to a quiet corner at home.

Common questions

Do I need a separate holder?
Use these incense sticks with a heat-resistant incense holder or ash catcher, so the stick stays upright and the ash falls safely.
