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…

    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

Bright, green citronella scent
  • The fragrance has a crisp citrus edge, more herbal than sugary.
  • It suits kitchens, hallways and living spaces where a clean, fresh atmosphere feels welcome.
  • The smudge-inspired style gives the scent a more grounded character than a simple citrus stick.
  • Light one when you want a clear break between the busyness of the day and a quieter evening.
  • The blue and natural kraft presentation feels simple and earthy, with the sticks visible through the front window.
Made in India, with a rustic smudge-inspired style

This incense comes from India, a country with a long incense-making tradition for home fragrance, temple use and daily ritual. The style is rustic rather than polished, with a fresh citronella aroma at its centre.

How to burn it safely

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

Burn in a ventilated room and keep it away from curtains, papers, children and pets. Never leave burning incense unattended, and let the ash fall onto a safe, heat-resistant surface.

Citronella in scent tradition

Citronella is loved in fragrance for its bright, lemony-green character. In incense, it gives a room a freshly aired feeling, with a sharper edge than floral or resinous blends. The word is often associated with the clean aromatic profile of citronella grasses, but here the important thing is the experience: a direct, lively citrus scent that works well when the home needs a simple reset, not a heavy perfume.

Size and details

Each pack measures 4.5 × 2 × 23 cm and weighs 370 g. This is Earth-Inspired Smudge Incense in the Citronella scent, made in India.

A thoughtful everyday gift

A good choice for someone who enjoys home fragrance with a fresh, earthy character. It suits housewarmings, care parcels, or a small ritual gift for someone making their space feel more settled.

Common questions

Does citronella incense smell like lemon?
Citronella has a lemony character, but it is usually greener and more herbal than a sweet citrus fragrance.
Can I use it without a special incense holder?
Use a proper heat-resistant holder or ash catcher so the stick stays upright and the ash falls safely.
Is this a subtle or strong scent?
Citronella is generally bright and noticeable, with a clean herbal-citrus profile rather than a soft floral one.
