How to use

  1. Hold it at an angle

    Take out one stick and hold it at a slight angle, tip pointing away from you.

  2. Light the tip

    Bring the tip to a flame until it catches.

  3. Fan out the flame

    Once the tip smolders steadily, gently fan out the flame. Do not blow forcefully.

  4. Set it down and wait

    Stand it upright in a holder and give it about ten seconds to settle before the scent opens.

  5. Put it out

    Smother the tip with a lid or submerge it in water. Keep it away from anything flammable until it has fully cooled.

No special holder needed: any ceramic or wooden holder with a hole that keeps the stick upright will do.

How much to burn

Half a stick to one stick at a time, depending on the room and your taste.

Small bedroom
Half a stick
Study

Safety

WARNING: Fire and smoke

  • Keep burning incense away from curtains, paper, wooden furniture and all flammable materials.
  • Never leave burning incense unattended. Make sure it is fully extinguished before you leave the room.
  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • Use indoors in a well-ventilated area. Do not burn for long periods in enclosed spaces.

If you are pregnant, have an infant at home, are sensitive to smoke or have a respiratory condition, or live with pets, use with care: keep the room ventilated and avoid breathing the smoke up close for long periods.

Questions

More questions

Is the scent strong?

It is soft rather than heavy. Half a stick is enough for a small bedroom; a larger room may want a whole one. Keep the room ventilated either way.

Does it make a lot of smoke?

It is still incense, so it gives off smoke when lit. The blend softens the heavy, smoky character of traditional incense, but we recommend keeping the room ventilated while it burns.

Can I use it around children, pets or during pregnancy?

Burning incense produces smoke, so Zamba advises care if you are pregnant, have an infant at home, are sensitive to smoke or have a respiratory condition, or live with pets. Keep the room ventilated, avoid breathing the smoke up close for long periods, and always keep burning incense out of reach of children and pets.

How long does a box last?

Each box holds 15 sticks, about 7½ hours of burning in all. At one stick a day that is about two weeks; at two a day, about a week.

Do I need a special holder?

No. The box contains 15 sticks; any ceramic or wooden holder with a hole that keeps the stick upright will do.
