Why it's different: Nothing like the smoky incense you might be used to. We hand-dip every stick in the same premium, perfume-grade oils we use in our fragrances, so instead of heavy smoke you get a clean, refined scent that fills the room like a beautiful hotel. Each stick burns about an hour, and the scent lingers for a couple of hours after — great for clearing out cooking or pet smells, or just letting a beautiful scent drift through your space.

Ingredients: Unscented black incense sticks, dipropylene glycol (DPG), and our pure fragrance oils. DPG is a clear, odorless liquid used throughout the fragrance world to carry scent — it lets our oils soak deep into each stick and burn clean and even, without the harsh smoke of cheaper incense.

How to burn: Light the tip, let the flame catch for a few seconds, then gently blow it out so it glows. Set it in your holder on a heat-safe surface, in a ventilated spot away from anything flammable, and never leave it unattended.

What's included & the holder: 12 hand-dipped incense sticks. Every order with incense includes one free 3D-printed holder — one per order, not per pack. Want one with each pack (or extras to gift)? Leave a note at checkout and we'll add them; we send one by default so we're never wasting holders you don't need.

Also available as a perfume, available year round — plus a candle, room spray, diffuser, oil, and wax melt, offered seasonally.

The Vibe:
FORTE gives off a bold, sophisticated, and adventurous vibe. Its spicy undertones from cardamom and clove add depth and warmth, while the plum and sea salt bring a modern freshness. This scent feels powerful yet inviting, ideal for those who appreciate complexity and confidence in their fragrance.
