Q: Do you use synthetic fragrances in your incense?
A: No, we never use synthetic fragrances. All our incense is made with pure botanicals, resins, and, vapor-distilled essential oils to enhance the natural aroma.
Q: Are your incense sticks hand-rolled?
A: Yes! Each incense stick is carefully hand-rolled using traditional methods to ensure quality, consistency, and an even burn.
Q: How long does Savannah Incense burn?

Size & Weight
Q: What size are Savannah Incense sticks?
A: Our incense sticks are approximately 20cm (8 inches) long. They are hand-rolled, so slight variations in length may occur.
Q: How much does each incense stick weigh?
A: Each stick weighs around 1 gram, but the weight can vary significantly depending on the scent. Some blends, especially those with heavier resins or denser botanicals, may weigh slightly more, while lighter blends may weigh a bit less.
Q: Why does the weight of your incense vary?
A: Because our incense is hand-rolled with natural ingredients, the density of each stick depends on the specific blend. Resins, woods, and botanicals all have different textures and weights, so some scents will naturally produce heavier or lighter sticks. This is part of the uniqueness of our artisan incense.
Q: Will the weight variation affect how long the incense burns?
A: Generally, heavier sticks with more resin content may burn slightly longer, while lighter blends may burn a little faster. However, all our incense is designed to burn slowly and evenly, lasting around 45–60 minutes per stick, depending on environmental conditions.
Q: Does variation in size or weight affect the quality of the incense?
A: Not at all! Each stick is crafted with care, and variations are a natural result of using pure, hand-rolled ingredients. This ensures that every incense experience is unique and rich in fragrance.
Usage & Safety
Q: How do I properly burn incense?
A: Follow these simple steps:
- Light the tip of the incense stick until it catches fire.
- Let it burn for a few seconds, then gently blow out the flame, leaving a glowing ember.
- Place the stick in an incense holder on a heat-resistant surface.
- Allow the incense to smolder, releasing its natural fragrance.
Q: Where should I burn incense?
A: Burn incense in a well-ventilated area, away from flammable materials, children, and pets. Always use an appropriate incense holder to catch ash.
Q: Does your incense produce a lot of smoke?
A: Our incense produces low-smoke due to the use of bamboo charcoal and natural binders. Unlike some mass-produced incense, we avoid artificial accelerants that create excessive smoke.
Q: Can incense trigger allergies?
A: If you have sensitivities to strong scents or natural resins, we recommend testing a small amount first. Since our incense is free from synthetic fragrances, it is generally more tolerable than commercial brands.
