About this product
What you'll notice
- The scent is sweet and floral, with a warm, uplifting character rather than anything sharp or heavy.
- The fragrance has a soft, exotic quality, the sort that fills a small room gently instead of announcing itself.
- The hexagonal pack is a deep magenta pink, printed with small yellow blossoms and "Ylang Ylang" running down its length.
- The slim, tall box stands neatly on a shelf or sits in a drawer beside your holder and matches.
The scent: ylang ylang
Ylang ylang takes its name from a tropical flowering tree, and its blossoms are long associated with perfumery. Here that floral sweetness is carried into incense form. HEM, an Indian incense maker with a long-standing following, packs it in its familiar hexagonal tube.
How to burn
Light the tip of a stick, let it flame for a few seconds, then blow it out so it glows and releases a thin ribbon of smoke. Stand the plain end in a heat-resistant holder or ash catcher. Sticks like these typically burn for somewhere between half an hour and an hour, though this varies, so it is worth checking the pack. Burn in a ventilated room, keep it away from anything flammable, and never leave it unattended.
Where it fits in your day
A sweet floral like this suits slower moments: the hour after work, a quiet evening, a few minutes of stillness before meditation or reading. Light one stick and let the room fill gradually. When it finishes, the scent fades gently rather than leaving a hard edge.
What you get
A hexagonal pack of HEM Ylang Ylang incense sticks, made in India. You will need a holder and a way to light them; both are easy to find, and a simple ceramic or brass dish works well.
A small, easy gift
It is an inexpensive way to give someone a calm evening: a thoughtful addition to a gift of candles or a ceramic holder, or a little something for a friend who likes to scent their home.

★★★★★ M.Lemon Grass
I absolutely LOVE the smell of lemon grass and these have not disappointed. I have one burning in my room and I'm sat in the garden but can still smell the lovely fragrance out here. They do burn for 30 odd minutes as described. I've bought some that burn down within minutes of lighting, so these are excellent. I would

★★★★★ F.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 had been bought in In
