Japanese company Hibi makes an "incense match", with the tag line "10 minutes aroma". "Strike the match on the side of the box, let it burn down a safe distance, extinguish match, then rest the extinguished matchstick on Hibi's exclusive mat (included with every box), then enjoy the pleasant aroma for at least 10 minutes." Armitage McMillan in Colorado has three of the fragrances, at $10 for 8 matchsticks: Sandalwood, Japanese Cypress and Tea Tree. (There are a bunch of other scents if you want to search for a source, including Yuzu, Geranium, Lavender, Cinnamon, Lemongrass, Ylang Ylang and Citronella.)
Interesting product. I wouldn’t mind trying cinnamon one.
It’s a great idea. 10 minutes is about as long as I usually burn an incense stick anyway.
this is now my daily lemming! I love incense and burn them everyday
I tend to forget about it in the summer, but just pulled out my stash yesterday 🙂
Wow, sounds wonderful. The 3-pack sounds like the ones I want to try most, too. I’ve been obsessed with the Astier de Villatte incense but I just ran out!
Which AdV incense did you love?
I think Aoyama was my favorite but I also adored Stockholm. I liked the Namche Bazaar out of the box but while burning it was very subtle.
Great, thanks! Eventually I will buy a box.
