Qian Yue Incense Stick | Moon Cool

I grew up around incense and I'm the 5th-gen. What I have never done is watch an American smell it for the first time. That sounds like a small thing. It is not, because almost everything I could tell you about Panda Incense is something you have no way to check.

There is a good reason to be careful with incense. A lot of what leaves China is a thin stick dipped in fragrance oil and dried. It smells loud for two minutes, and then the room smells like a hotel lobby. In a photograph, a one dollar box and a hundred dollar box look the same. So the fair question is the one you are already asking. How would I know what I’m getting, and what’s really in it?

Here is what I can put on the table. All our incense are made from pure herbs, ground to powder and pressed with a plant- based binder. No fragrance oil, no accelerates, and clean burn with low smoke.

I still do not know whether that is something people here want. And this is the part I am still learning. I have made incense my whole life and I have never had to explain it to someone who did not grow up around it. What a plant binder is, why a stick should not have a charcoal core, how much important a formula is. Those things are invisible in a photograph, but I think it is visible in a smell and your status can tell you.

So if you are not sure, write to us before you buy. I would rather answer twenty questions than have a box sit on your shelf unlit.

One box, 45 sticks, 20g total.

Each stick burns for about 40 minutes, so one box gives you about 30 hours of burn time. 

Airflow and room size move that number a little either way. Long enough for a chapter of a book, or a full pot of tea.

Generally speaking, it's good for them. We use natural ingredients (pure plants, woods, resins or flowers), but sensitivity can vary. Some animals react to smoke faster than people do. Burn it where a pet can leave the room and where air can move, and ask your vet if you are unsure.
