Incense Care Guide

1 Storage Recommendations

• Store incense in a cool, dry, and dark place to prevent fragrance loss and moisture damage.
• Use airtight containers or resealable bags with a small amount of charcoal or a desiccant to maintain dryness.
• Avoid storing incense near strong odors (such as perfumes or cleaning agents) to prevent scent contamination.

2 How to Light Incense

• Light the tip of the incense stick and let it burn for 3-5 seconds before gently blowing out the flame, allowing the ember to smolder and release fragrance.
• Always place burning incense in a fire-safe holder, away from flammable materials and drafts, in a well-ventilated space.
• To extinguish before it finishes burning, press the lit tip against the holder or gently touch with a damp cloth.

3 Recommended Usage Environment

• Ideal for meditation, reading, yoga, or relaxation before sleep, creating a calm and comforting atmosphere.
• In small spaces (bedrooms, offices), one stick is sufficient to avoid an overly strong scent.
• Suitable for use in altars, meditation rooms, and ceremonial practices for a sense of ritual.

4 Important Safety Notes

• Always attend to burning incense and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
• Ensure ashes are completely cooled before disposal to prevent fire hazards.
• If incense has not been used for a long period, test a small section before full use to check scent and burn quality.

5 Shelf Life

• Natural incense, when stored properly, can retain its fragrance for 1-2 years. Over time, the scent may mellow, creating a softer aroma.
• Discontinue use if you notice a significant loss of fragrance or any signs of mold or moisture damage.
