What you need with it

What it is

An incense stick is a fine bamboo stick coated in a paste of woods, resins and scent. Light the tip, let the flame go out, and it glows slowly for half an hour or more, scenting the room.

Why people choose it

  • A scent that stays Each stick glows for half an hour or more and leaves the room scented after it has gone out.
  • Many scents to keep Woods, resins, flowers and spices: easy to keep a few for different moods and seasons.
  • Many evenings in a pack One stick an evening, and a pack lasts for weeks.
  • Gentle smoke Lit in an airy room, the scent stays and the smoke clears.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Light the tip, let it catch for a few seconds

  2. 2

    Blow the flame out. It should glow, not burn

  3. 3

    Stand it in a holder on a heat-safe surface; let it burn down or press the tip into sand to stop it

Care: Ventilate the room. Never leave it burning unattended. Ash on a heat-safe holder.

    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.

    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 bright citronella scent
  • The fragrance opens sharp and clean, with the fresh citrus character citronella is known for.
  • It suits kitchens, garden rooms and summer evenings, especially when you want the air to feel lighter.
  • The brown coated sticks and red plain ends give the set a simple, traditional incense look.
  • Citronella is widely associated with outdoor living and is often chosen when insects are around.
  • The white box, green leaf pattern and soft yellow fruit illustrations echo the crisp, botanical feel of the scent.
Hand-rolled masala, plant based

These are hand-rolled masala incense sticks made with resins and plant material. Masala incense is valued for its textured, blended style.

How to burn them safely

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

Burn in a ventilated room and never leave lit incense unattended. Allow the ash to cool fully before clearing it away.

From Karnataka, India

Indian masala incense has a long place in home ritual, meditation spaces and everyday scenting. This plant-based range is ethically produced in Karnataka, India. Citronella itself is a practical, fresh fragrance, often linked with veranda evenings, garden doors left ajar and the small rituals of warm-weather living.

Box details

Each box contains 15 sticks and weighs 43 g. Made in India as part of the Plant Based Masala Incense Sticks range.

A fresh little gift

A thoughtful choice for someone who enjoys incense but prefers clean, citrus-led scents. It suits housewarmings, summer gatherings, garden-room corners and anyone building a small scent ritual at home.

Common questions

Does citronella incense smell sweet?
Citronella is more fresh and citrusy than sugary. Expect a bright, clean scent rather than a soft floral or dessert-like fragrance.
Can I use it outside?
Yes, it can be used outdoors in a stable, heat-resistant holder. Keep it sheltered from wind, and make sure falling ash cannot touch plants, fabrics or furniture.
