    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…

A few things often kept alongside this piece.

About this product

A clean herbal trail
  • The scent stays fresh rather than heavy, with a lightly green character that suits unhurried breathing and stillness.
  • It works well before a meditation session, when you want the room to feel settled and intentional.
  • The herbal profile feels simple and uncluttered, so it will not crowd a quiet corner or small home ritual.
  • Use it as a gentle marker for transition: morning practice, evening reading, or time away from a screen.
  • The Buddha-inspired theme gives the fragrance a contemplative mood without needing a formal practice.
Incense made in India

This incense is made in India. The scent profile is clean and lightly herbal.

How to burn it safely

Light the incense-coated end, let it catch briefly, then blow out the flame so the tip glows. Place the plain end in a heat-resistant holder or ash catcher, away from fabrics, draughts and open windows.

Burn in a ventilated space and never leave incense unattended. Let the ash fall onto a safe surface, then allow the stick to cool fully before clearing it away.

Why it suits meditation

In Buddhist practice, incense is often used to mark a shift in attention, its rising smoke making the present moment visible for a short while. In contemporary yoga and meditation spaces, that same simple act can create a clear beginning and ending to practice. This Buddha-inspired incense sits in that tradition softly, as a sensory cue for introspection, quietness and returning to what feels essential.

Pack details

Each pack includes around 12 incense sticks. The listed weight is 330 g.

Common questions

Why does the pack say ‘around’ 12 sticks?
The supplied count is approximate, so the number of sticks may vary slightly from pack to pack.
Can I burn it outdoors?
Yes, but use a sheltered, heat-resistant holder. Wind can make incense burn unevenly and carry the fragrance away quickly.
