Tibetan Herbal Incense Cones - Natural Organic Meditation Incense Cones - Composition of 25 Natural Plants for Eliminating Odors and Dispelling Negative Energy

Product smells great.package arrived broken

It is a small package but the incense cones are great. It came will a good amount of cones The smell is like an herbal/earthy fragrance. I like that it is made with natural ingredients. It's made in Tibet, so it does not smell like the ones from India. I like this incense, it is more earthy. I burn it for relaxation and to relieve stress.

I love incense, all kinds. Sticks, cones- all of it. These are no exception. The cones burn well, last a long time, and fill the house with scent. The scent is a bit strong-smelling (which I like), but if you’re looking for something light, this isn’t it. I love that it says it’s for negative energy, I absolutely feel like it lifts the energy in the house, similar to sage. Big fan, I would buy these again.

This one really smells bad to me. It’s not what it stated.. because I used it I’m not going to return it. I’ll use it at my backyard I noticed no dog poop smell after….

Like Gump's chocolates you never know what you're going to get when you order incense. Some brands are overpowering headache fodder with an odor reminiscent of the quick turnaround shower of your average curbside date while others offer barely anything at all. Neither of these two opposites are a problem you will have with this brand of incense. I've had the pleasure of being exposed to different kinds of incense from many different cultures and I couldn't quite peg this one. It's not like any Tibetan incense I've had before. It doesn't have the warmth that a good Buddhist incense has. It lacks the fullness of Chinese incense. The cones don't have the full rich warm pungent atmosphere of Christian or North African incense. My favorite incense is from India and while this is nothing like it this product does share it's ability to linger without getting stale. This incense is subtle but builds up as it burns and sticks around long after it's done and that's the way it should be. The package I received had twenty cones that were presented in a folded cardboard hexagonal box. Unfortunately it was shipped using a standard flat plastic blue and white Amazon shipping envelope and by the time it reached me it had been somewhat flattened and roughly one third of the cones were broken into smaller pieces. For its relatively high price point I would have expected it to be shipped in a way that could withstand the rigors of shipping such a fragile container. Each cone that I used burned equally and all of them lasted the twenty minutes burn time that was noted in the initial product description. The odor was quite mellow and pleasing without being overbearing and lasted well beyond the initial burning. After several days of burning two or three a day the scent still lingered nearly five days after burning the last one. A good incense should do that and you shouldn't have to burn them constantly in order to maintain a pleasant atmosphere in your home. I gave this incense only a three star rating when it deserved five stars as the quality is up to the expected standard and then some. It lost one star for the state that I received it in. No product should come with inadequate shipping particularly if it destroys part of the merchandise. If it has fragile packaging, in this case cardboard, then it should be shipped in a package that can withstand the process. The second star was lost on it's price point. These days we're all feeling the pinch and everything counts. By normal standards this incense is expensive and taking into account the fact that nearly seven of the twenty cones were destroyed by the time I received them is not acceptable. The incense is a fine quality product. I found it pleasant and easy with a nice lingering atmosphere. If money is not of any concern then this might be the right incense for you. If you are a shopper who is looking for value then I suggest that you may want to try another product. Perhaps the seller could take note of this and amend the problems that plagued this otherwise fine product but until that is a guarantee I would be hesitant to order this product again. It's a shame because the incense itself is good. I've used many different types over many years and this one ranks in the higher percentile primarily due to the lasting effect, both subtle and fresh, and that's always hard to come by.

Disclosure: This was sent to me for free via the Vine program. I did not receive monetary compensation to write this review, just the product itself. I love incense. I love discovering new smells and incense is one of the ways I do it. I feel like Inspector Gadget sniffing out some sort of fragrant crime. Yes, I know full well I'm weird. If you've been reading my reviews for any period of time, you should be used to that. If you're new, then yes, I'm weird. So while perusing Vine, I saw that this Tibetan Herbal Incense cones came up and figured "why not give them a try". Nothing like a bit of fragrance to liven up the place and these are especially made for dispelling negative energy (frankly, I take all the help I can get around here). So I put in an order. Showed up in an envelope with a small box in it. The box was kinda squished which made me worried for the contents inside. The cones themselves were a bit broken but not to the point that you couldn't light them on fire, which was okay in my book. Really, needs better wrapping to protect the cones so you don't end up with quarter inch long tips all in the bottom of the box. Pulling it out and giving it a sniff, I didn't like it at first. It smelled...medicinal and grassy in a way that struck a chord with me in a not forgiving way but I figured "in for a penny" and lit the sucker. Once lit, the incense was much improved. It's woodsy and smokey, with a definite herbal pitch to it and a slight medicinal smell. Medicinal like a camphor infused body powder, not like fresh iodine, so it was actually nice and worked well with the other ingredients in it. It did, however, burn fantastically quick. I'd say a cone lasted about 5-7 minutes which really isn't that long for a cone of this size (about an inch and a quarter tall). So it was nice but it didn't last long. I lit two more just to get the whole house smelling nice and left it at that. So how's the price? Well, for $10.77 with a 35% off coupon at time of writing (4/30/23), this is a pretty darn good deal. Sure, you'll end up with broken bits and bobs in the box but they all burn at the end of the day. And the smell is fantastic. Dunno if it really did dispel any negative energy but again, I'll take all the help I can get these days warding off the ails and ills of my life. Not a bad incense, not a bad price.

These cone incense smell great! I wish the box was bigger and there were more varieties to choose from. My husband can light one and the whole house will smell good. They burn for a solid 20 minutes, so it doesn’t take long for them to resonate. The smell is not overpowering either. I definitely would order more.
