HEM Hexagonal Incense - Smudge - Frank Myrrh

Made in India Ships from the UK

Light the tip and let the first ribbon of smoke rise. The room fills slowly with something warm and resinous: frankincense and myrrh together, deep and a little dry, familiar in the way old churches and quiet temples are familiar. It is an incense for the moment you want the day to slow down, whether that is a few minutes of reflection, a meditation sitting, or an evening that needs a calmer atmosphere.

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

  • 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

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. 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 scent
  • Frankincense and myrrh are blended into a single warm, traditional fragrance, resinous and rounded rather than sharp or sweet.
  • The character is deep and settled, closer to a sacred-space scent than a bright, floral one.
  • It sits comfortably in the background, adding atmosphere without crowding a room.
  • It suits morning stillness, an unhurried evening, or the quiet routine you keep for yourself.
Frankincense and myrrh in context

Both are aromatic tree resins with a long history in incense across many cultures. Frankincense is the lighter, brighter partner, with a clean, slightly lemony resin note. Myrrh is darker and more bitter-sweet, with an earthy depth. Burned together, they have been paired for centuries in ceremonial and devotional settings, which is why the combination feels so recognisably traditional. Here they come as an easy everyday stick. The stick's origin country is listed as India.

How to burn it

These are self-lighting sticks. Light the coated tip, let it flame for a few seconds, then blow it out so it glows and releases smoke. Stand the plain end in a heat-resistant holder with an ash catcher beneath it. Burn in a ventilated space and never leave it unattended. To put it out early, press the tip into sand or ash rather than using water.

The pack

The sticks come in a slim hexagonal box. The gold packaging is printed with a soft floral design and the words 'Ritual Botanica', and it carries the 'Smudge incense sticks' label. It is a tidy, slender pack that stores easily on a shelf or in a drawer alongside your holder, and keeps the sticks protected until you are ready to use them.

A considered gift

The golden box and the timeless scent make it an easy gift for someone who enjoys quiet rituals, meditation, or a thoughtfully scented home. Pair it with a simple ceramic or wooden holder for a complete little present.

Common questions

What does frankincense and myrrh incense smell like?
Warm, resinous and deep. Frankincense brings a clean, slightly bright resin note, and myrrh adds an earthy, bitter-sweet richness underneath.
Do I need a special holder?
Any heat-resistant holder that catches the ash will do. Stand the plain end of the stick upright in it and keep it on a stable, non-flammable surface.
Is this a smudge stick I wave around the room?
No. These are standard incense sticks that sit in a holder and burn steadily, rather than a bundle of herbs that is carried and waved.
