Oil-dipped incense sticks:

This is very common, and allows for a limitless number of fragrance options.  Basically, this is a sandalwood-based punk (blank, unscented incense stick) that is saturated in fragrance oil.  Don’t let anyone fool you – there’s a huge difference in quality.  We encourage you to do a comparison & smell the difference for yourself.  WildBerry incense is made with a higher-grade (and more expensive) fragrance oil.  It’s also made with a special fixative that keeps it fresher for a very, VERY long time.  We can honestly say without reservation that we have NEVER EVER had any of our WildBerry incense get stale or lose one bit of its fragrance.  It’s just that good.

100% Natural Incense Sticks

(usually hand-rolled, often imported)

This is incense that is made entirely of resins & natural ingredients -- nothing synthetic.  Much of this incense that we sell is made overseas; some of the best natural incense in the world comes from India.  This is what we consider “traditional” incense – it’s more like the incense that has been burned for centuries in temples & that which has been used for ceremonial purposes.  The fragrance of natural incense is VERY different than oil-dipped incense.  Some people prefer it, and some don’t.  We recommend that you try some & see how you like it.  We suggest that you try some traditional Nag Champa sticks – they’re our best selling natural incense & one of our personal favorites.
