Customer Reviews

Not worth five stars, but decent
The incense provides a great, strong smell for the first few days, but loses it's potency within the first week, which is much less than some of the other quality incense I buy. As is stated in the other reviews, the sticks break very easily; this can be extremely frustrating.

It's not all bad, though. The sticks provide a very powerful, calming, and generally great smelling aroma while they still have their potency. Getting 200 sticks for so cheap is a really great deal, though I didn't get a chance to use nearly all of them before they started losing their smell.

I probably won't buy these again, but because they're so cheap for so many, and they smell so good for about the first week or so, I would recommend others to buy a box and enjoy them. They really are worth it for the money.

Great great great but...........
The sticks are great with amazing smell .... the only problem i had was that most of them were broken :( however i love them and my place is filled with this fragrance ...

Exactly what I was looking for!
I never cared for incense until I started attending a Buddhist Temple where they burned the most wonderful sandalwood incense. I purchased some inexpensive sandalwood incense from a local new age bookstore, but was quite disappointed.

It was nothing like the incense at the temple, it all was sickingly sweet, or too smoky, or barely smelled of anything at all. Reviews for Morning Star were very good, so I decided to give it a try. This is exactly what I was looking for! Clean, woody smell with just a slight sweetness.

Smells just like the incense at the temple, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if this is what they burn themselves. If you think all incense is awful or it all smells the same, then you should try this. I plan to purchase the Morning Star Incense - 12 Fragrance Assortment next and look forward to trying the different scents and mixing them together. Wonderful stuff!
