How to Burn Incense

Light it up. Chill out. Repeat.

Whether you’re setting a mood, shifting your energy, or just trying to make your space smell less like takeout leftovers, incense is here for you. Here’s how to use it like a pro.

 

How to Burn It

1. Light the tip: Hold your incense stick at an angle and light the end. Let the flame catch for about 10 seconds.

2. Blow it out: Once the tip is glowing and you see smoke curling, gently blow out the flame.

3. Let it smoulder: Place the stick in a heat-proof incense holder. Ash should fall safely and not end up all over your windowsill or your life.

Where to Burn It

• Choose a calm, well-ventilated space—open windows are great, gusty drafts are not.

• Keep away from anything flammable: curtains, books, forgotten laundry piles.

• Ideal spots? Bedrooms, bathrooms, home studios, reading nooks, or wherever you want your air to feel a little more intentional.

Burning Basics

• One stick burns for about 45–60 minutes.

• Let it smoulder on its own—if it’s glowing, it’s working.

• Always burn within sight and never leave unattended.

What to Know

• Our incense sticks are hand-dipped and made without fillers, toxins, or fake-smelling nonsense.

• You’ll get the best results if you store them in a cool, dry place between uses.

• A little goes a long way—no need to burn back-to-back unless you’re really committed to the vibe.

Safety First

• Incense = fire. Keep it away from kids, pets, and anything that shouldn’t be on fire.

• Use a stable, non-flammable holder. No teacups, no balancing acts.

• Burn on a flat surface, let the ashes fall naturally, and clean up after—it’s part of the ritual.
