Gum Benzoin ~ Loban - Sambrani

Best smell, I order this again and again

The warm subtle balsamic scent of Styrax comforts me, fills my space with such a good energy. It’s not strong, when lighting it you first get a strong note of styrax and then while burning it emits a slow and nice scent that lingers in the air, but doesn’t linger forever, which is good. I use it mostly during meditation, or when I down, drained or tired. It reminds of my visit in Auroville of the Matrimandir and the Ashram in Pondicherry.

Burn time is at least 30 minutes. Has that very pleasant, slightly sharp benzoin fragrance without being sweet or overpowering. Nice lingering presence after done burning.

I loved these incense, they smell sooo good! Highly recommend.

I purchased the gum benzoin variety. I am glad finally got a product that smells like the exotic jhuna smell used back home(India). No essential oil dipped floral fragrance. Just the fragrance of the resin. The stick is longer and thicker than regular sticks. Burns fully. Lighting takes 2 secs extra since it is thicker. The only reason I deducted a star is the smell of jhuna(benzoin) is not strongest as found in sticks purchased in India. However the smell lingers even after it done burning. If used in smaller space it might enhance the fragrance around. Since my puja mandir is in a huge, high ceiling area, the fragrance tends to diffuse. Definitely not value for money. Could have benefitted if they sold 10 packets instead of 5 for that price.

I’m an incense snob and typically only buy pure resins or work with herbs and oils but for work I prefer a nice stick incense to burn in my space as it’s less smoke and lasts a bit longer. This incense did NOT disappoint. It has a very rich fragrance and actually *is* ground resin on the stick -not- oil dipped scent sticks. The benzoin is rich and sweet and I am in love. Just made my third order and can’t get enough. Excellent product at an excellent price. Highly recommend.

This is great quality incense. I buy this sambrani, monthly, from Artshatz, and I use it almost daily. Great for cleaning energy and energizing space.

The scent is as described - and what I was looking for. Thick sticks burn a little more slowly, so they last. They arrived packed well and in time.

EDIT TO MY COMPLAINT: The owner of this company saw my complaint, explained that this is not normal for their incense. He sent me a new package, thought maybe something happened during the shipping and promised the new batch would be good. HE WAS CORRECT! The new incense he sent is perfect! Great smelling, works like a charm and great customer service! Thank you!!! ***I received my package, I lit one stick and it kept burning out. I started another stick and it was fine so I lit another stick in another room. Out of 5 sticks, only one stayed lit the whole time.

I love the mild aroma and the enchanted open forest smell of these. They help Me sojourn back to a place of love and exceptance when it seems like life rushing by seeks push Me from the path.

Thank you for pure stuff

Awesome incense. Pure joy

Very calming scent and long lasting!

Good sent ,lasts FOREVER...I set a timer, 1 stick burns for 2 hours 4 min

This sambrani incense is everything I hoped it would be! It really is the best.

Very nice product. It really energizes the atmosphere in the house. I will say must have at home

Of all the organic incense I have tried, this product is superior. Packaged with care by people who care, the product arrived undamaged and fresh. The scent is subtle but perfect. I read somewhere that it's antiviral/ antibacterial for air and surfaces. Very useful for yoga and meditation purposes and it definitely makes indoors feel more vibrant somehow. I have used more expensive products that do not compare. I am extremely satisfied with this product and company.

Smells Havenly

Love the smell of the incense, very mallow and mild smell. Not strong smell that strikes the nostrils so hard.

Es un incienso que aunque tiene poco aroma armoniza el ambiente de mi hogar. Generalmente no puedo poner otra clase de incienso porque soy alérgica, pero con este no he tenido problema. Ya lo he comprado varias veces con excelentes resultados.

I love incense... have many different scents from Tibetan to Japanese to East Indian. The scent of this incense is softer... doesn't feel the room with a strong scent like Nag Champa, but I especially like it because it is easier on the nose and lungs while meditating. I would definitely recommend it.

Loban/ Sambrani , a variety of benzoin, as resin crystals over burning coal has been used for centuries in India not just for rituals but also for extensive fumigation during times of epidemics. To find this in the form of convenient incense sticks is great. Most brands I have used so far lack the purity of this product that Auroshika makes. I am glad that I can avail of this product during the Covid pandemic period in the US.

I only give feedback when I really love a product and this is one of them.After 1 hour and 35 minutes, the incense is still burning with a nice smell providing a calm environment.I totally recommend these products!

Love love love these really beautiful and nature I incense

Good price , long lasting very nice scent

Instantly transported me to my time in India and to my youth in Catholic mass. Wonderful aroma. Fills up a huge room.

I like the scent and the travels throughout my house and it’s last a fair amount of time. The amount of incense for the price is fair.

Very nice product. It really energizes the atmosphere in the house. I will say must have at home
