5 out of 5 starsThese are very high quality little cones for a natural campfire scent without overwhelming an indoor area, I initially balked a bit at the price to volume ratio with my first order, but then I got totally hooked on them and had to order more when I ran out, I've never found anything else on any marketplace with this level of quality for that natural nostalgic scent and I have sampled a LOT over the years, they are worth the money for a job well done by their maker

5 out of 5 starsThe best. Always, the best. Great scent, perfectly made. My go-to spot for incense. These were a gift and the receiver loves them. Such earthy, calming scents. Thank you.

5 out of 5 starsMy favorite seller on Etsy. The products are always top notch and lovingly wrapped. I usually wind up buying more than I need because I know as soon as I see the items I’m going to want to keep them. :-)

5 out of 5 starsThis seller was awesome! Very professional. Very quick to answer any questions I had. Shipping was fast. I bought the flower essence on a whim. I had never seen these before. I am so glad I got one! I plan to buy several more.

How Much Bath Salt Soak Do I Use Per Bath?
One 6oz. package is good for 1 -2 baths, depending on how strong of a bath you desire. If you want a really awesome, luxurious bath, with a long-lasting aromatherapy experience use the whole thing (that's the way we use them).
If you are a little sensitive to all things olfactory and get overwhelmed easily by scents, then we recommend splitting the package between two baths.
Of course, this is just a recommended starting point. Everyone is different, and we encourage you to find what works best for you.
How Do You Make Your Incense Cones?
We finely grind woods and resins, and mix them together with Makko* and a little bit of Gum Tragacanth** dissolved into hot water. This creates a dough that we then press into a handmade cone mold. The cones are then removed from the mold, and allowed to air-dry and cure for three days.
* Makko is the bark of the Machillus Thunbergii tree. It helps the incense burn evenly and smoothly, while adding no extra scent to the incense mixture. This allows the main wood note of the incense blend to really shine through.
** Tragacanth is a natural food-grade gum obtained from the dried sap of a legume. This is used as a binder to hold all the powdered woods and resins together.
