★★★★★ A.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…

★★★★★ B.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…

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…

★★★★★ R.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
- Sandalwood opens with its classic woody depth, then softens into something rounder and gentler as it burns, no sharp edges, just a low, grounding presence.
- It sits in the background rather than filling every corner, so you can burn it in a bedroom or a workspace without it becoming overwhelming.
- Each stick is paired in tradition with smoky quartz, a stone long associated with calm and mental clarity, the Cristal Gemas range links each fragrance to a mineral as a quiet nod to focus and grounding.
The scent tradition
Sandalwood has been central to Indian incense-making for centuries, prized for its slow-burning, grounding aroma and its long use in meditation and temple ritual. The wood itself, harvested from Santalum album trees, was traditionally ground into a fine powder and blended with resins and oils. Today, most commercial sandalwood incense uses sandalwood oil or synthetic sandalwood fragrance due to the rarity of the raw wood, blended to echo the classic scent without depleting wild stocks.
How to burn them
Light the coated tip, let it flame for a few seconds, then blow it out so it glows. Stand the plain end in an ash catcher or holder, ceramic, wood, brass, anything heat-resistant. Always burn in a ventilated room and never leave it unattended.
What you get
One pack of incense sticks, made in India. The pack shows the Cristal Gemas branding with a smoky quartz crystal motif and lists the sandalwood scent clearly on the front.
A thoughtful gift
It suits someone who meditates, journals in the evening, or simply wants their bedroom to smell like something other than the day's washing. The mineral pairing and the ritual of lighting a stick make it feel a little more considered than a standard home-fragrance product.
