First off, this incense burner is GORGEOUS. The Tree of Life design is so intricate and adds such a bohemian vibe to my space. I love how it catches the light when I use a tealight underneath—total mood setter.

But... it's not perfect. The price felt a bit steep for what it is. I’ve seen similar designs for less, and honestly, the craftsmanship isn’t mind-blowing. It’s sturdy enough, but not the 'artisan masterpiece' I expected.

Functionality-wise, it works! I’ve used it with incense cones and loose herbs (rosemary is my fave), though I had to improvise with a little metal tray and sand to keep things from sticking. Not ideal, but hey, it gets the job done.

Would I gift it? Maybe—if the person cares more about aesthetics than practicality. For me? It’s a cute decor piece that occasionally moonlights as an incense burner. 3.5/5 stars ✨
