Item Description

This Scented Mountain incense set consists of one package each of: premium agarwood incense chips (5 grams), agarwood incense cones, and agarwood temple sticks.

Traditional temple sticks, also called joss sticks, are made with a high quality agarwood. These long burning sticks are 30 cm long (just under 12 inches) and have a bamboo core. 30 sticks are packaged in a plain cardboard cylinder. As with all agarwood, the aroma is best after burning when the light smoke dissipates and the fragrance has had a chance to filter through the room.

The 14 high quality agarwood incense cones come in their own wooden box. These long burning cones provide an agarwood aroma that lasts. Great for indoor use or outside on the patio or deck.

Premium agarwood incense chips are thin wood chips of dark resinous wood designed for use on lighted charcoal or to be lit with a flame from a candle or match. Just light and blow out the flame quickly. Repeat a few times to generate sufficient agarwood aroma to fill the room. The best fragrance with little smoke.

Agarwood is a resin produced inside a tropical rainforest tree called Aquilaria. The dark resinous wood has a magnificent aroma when burned. It is considered the finest natural incense and has been used for cultural, religious and medicinal purposes for millennia. Agarwood was traded from Asia to the Middle East in ancient times and its long history of use is cited in the bible and other early religious texts. This rare and exquisite resinous wood, coveted by Kings and royalty, is now available for everyone to enjoy.

Based on research from scientific investigations carried out over more than a decade by the Agarwood Research Project at the University of Minnesota in cooperation with the Rainforest Project Foundation, methods to cultivate agarwood have been developed and it can now be produced in a sustainable way in plantation grown trees. These trees are farmed in the mountains of southern Vietnam and products from them will provide a new economy for poor rural people. Scented Mountain is proud to offer fine cultivated agarwood products for you to enjoy with peace of mind knowing it is certified as grown from sustainable plantations.
