First off, I love the concept behind Phool's incense sticks. The fact that they're made from upcycled temple flowers and support marginalized women is a huge plus for me. It feels good to use a product that gives back.
The lemongrass scent is definitely the star here. It's crisp, clean, and fills the room without being overpowering. Perfect for when I need to unwind after a long day or create a calming atmosphere for yoga.
However, the tea tree fragrance was a bit of a letdown. While some might appreciate its medicinal quality, I found it too sharp and not as relaxing as I'd hoped. It's definitely an acquired taste.
The burning time is impressive - about 30-35 minutes per stick. But I did notice that sometimes they don't burn completely in one go, which can be slightly annoying when you're in the middle of meditation.
The included wooden stand is a nice touch, though it could be wider to catch all the ash. At about Rs. 2 per stick, they're pricier than regular incense, but the organic quality and social impact make it worth it for me.
If you're sensitive to strong fragrances or smoke, these are great as they're much milder than traditional incense. But if you prefer bold, intense scents, these might feel too subtle.
