Benzoin Incense 100% Natural Aromatic Tree Resin Gum Sap Solid Crystals

I am always skeptical of buying incense online as there is always lower quality products which look just like the real thing. I have the absolute pleasure of knowing many South Asian folks and they always have the most lovely scent, in their clothes and in their hair. It's sweet, and floral and woodsy all at the same time. I had always been to shy to ask my friends what their smell is outright as most have said it depends on the day and which God you're seeking so I set off on months long quest to find it through experimentation. I've tried literally dozens of resins to attempt to capture their essence. Finally I found this Benzoin or what they term Sambrani. THIS IS THE ONE FOLKS, this is the incense you have all been looking for. Its aroma is so uplifting and it really sets the mood of the home to that perfect setting for spiritual growth. I am so pleased with this product so if you're a connoisseur of incense (like i pretent to be) this is the one they all aspire to be like. Thank you to this vendor for putting out this quality product. I hope it stays available.

I have ordered this tree resin a few times. I use it in an anointing oil recipe. An oil of protection. I use a low heat in oven to melt the resin then combine it with other ingedents. If the heat is too high it will burn. Finally strain the mixture through a strainer. This removes the larger plant particles. Leaving a red sandy materiel. Highly recommended for this. The fragrance mixed with Olive oil is magically calming.

I keep coming back to this brand for buying resin online. The price is fair, the chunks are decent and the scent is accurate.

Great aroma, burned well on charcoal(40mm quick light) as well as a brass white copale burner, would recommend to add some white copale as it helps to use the resin completely without it turning to char itself.

Very pleasant !

Horrible smell.... smells like burnt plastic not dragon blood resin it's a random tree resin dyed red smells better in package once burned smells horrible

Of all the items in the variety pack, the benzoin smelled the most like incense. The others were pine tar, or plastic at worst. Burning these on charcoal tablets produced an awful lot of smoke. Not recommended for indoor use, even in a window, unless you enjoy setting off fire alarms. I was recommended to wrap the resin in tin foil before placing on the charcoal. This reduced the acrid smoke considerably, since the resin is now being heated and melted rather than burned.

Recently got into burning resins and incense. I had smelled frankincense at church in the past, but I hadn't smelled the other ones.I can't speak for the quality as I don't know how varied qualities can get with resins. But my experience with the variety pack was great!Frankincense and copal are my favorite!Benzoin is decent; I don't care too much for myrrh or dragon's blood.For the cost, I'm very happy with my purchase!I will only get frankincense and copal going forward, but I'm glad I had a chance to experience the other ones.In case you're wondering, frankincense has a pine-like smell, while copal has a lemony scent. Benzoin, myrrh, and dragons blood have an animalic scent that is not to my taste.
