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…

A few things often kept alongside this piece.

About this product

The sandalwood and palo santo scent
  • Sandalwood brings a smooth, creamy wood note that settles gently rather than taking over.
  • Palo santo adds a warmer, sacred-wood character, giving the blend a softly resinous edge.
  • The fragrance suits slow evenings, yoga spaces, reading corners and moments between one part of the day and the next.
  • It is a quieter choice for anyone who prefers wood-led incense over sharp, spicy or heavily sweet scents.
  • As the stick catches, the first smoke feels warm and dry, then softens into a steady woody trail.
Handcrafted incense from India

These Banjara incense sticks are handcrafted in India from natural ingredients using traditional techniques. The blend is designed for a slow, even burn, with sandalwood and palo santo at the centre of the fragrance.

How to burn it safely

Place the plain end in a heat-resistant incense holder or ash catcher. Light the coated tip, let it flame briefly, then blow it out so the end glows and releases smoke.

Burn in a well-ventilated room, away from curtains, pets and children. Never leave burning incense unattended, and allow the ash to fall onto a fire-safe surface.

The meaning behind the woods

Sandalwood has a long place in Indian incense and ritual fragrance, valued for its creamy, meditative wood scent. Palo santo, whose name means ‘holy wood’ in Spanish, is associated with South American aromatic wood traditions and is often chosen for reflective, ceremonial moments. Here, the two are brought together in an Indian incense style: soft sandalwood underneath, warmer palo santo above, creating a grounded fragrance without needing to feel heavy.

Weight and details

This pack weighs 46 g. It is from the Banjara Palo Santo Smudge Sticks range and is made in India.

A thoughtful gift for quiet rituals

A gentle choice for someone who enjoys incense, yoga, meditation or a calmer home routine. The wood-led scent makes it especially suited to people who like earthy fragrance rather than bright florals or sweet perfume.

Common questions

Is this the same as burning a loose palo santo wood stick?
No. This is an incense stick blend featuring palo santo and sandalwood, not a loose piece of palo santo wood.
Does it need a special burner?
Use any stable, heat-resistant incense holder or ash catcher that supports the stick securely and catches falling ash.
How long will one stick burn?
Burn time varies by stick style, room conditions and how it is used.
