Sun-lit verandas and balmy island nights: cinnamon, pepper and mandarin with jasmine, ylang ylang and clary sage, over a base of vanilla, amber and sandalwood. Choose the Incense Burner Kit to start from scratch, or the Refill if you already have a MAHŌ burner.
Which One Do I Need?
- Incense Burner Kit. Thirty sticks in a portable glass tube, plus a minimalist MAHŌ button burner. Each stick burns approximately 60 minutes. Start here.
- Incense Sticks (Refill). Sixty sticks, with no burner included. Each stick burns approximately 30 minutes.
- Either way. You get around 30 hours of total burn time.
Key Features
- The base. Natural woods, aromatic resin and a slippery elm binder, with a fragrance load of up to 10%.
- Adjustable. Break a stick in half for a shorter burn.
- Packaging. Recycled paper outer, 100% recyclable.
Pūrē Standard
- The base is real material, not a bamboo core dipped in fragrance. Sandalwood, agarwood and whitewoods with a natural resin or balsam, bound with slippery elm bark powder. Cheap incense is a bamboo stick rolled in charcoal and soaked in perfume, and it smells like it.
- No bamboo core means no acrid undertone. A solid extruded stick burns evenly and cleanly.
- Honest about the fragrance. The load is up to 10% and can be a blend of synthetic and essential oils depending on the scent, so this is not a pure essential-oil product and we will not pretend otherwise.
- Hand made in Fujian, China. That is where incense sticks come from.
- Where we would like more. Any incense produces smoke and particulates. Burn it in a ventilated room, and if anyone in the house has asthma this is not the right fragrance format.

How to Use

- Seat the stick. Return the smouldering stick to your MAHŌ burner.
- For a shorter burn. Break a stick in half.
- For a bigger room. Burn more than one, and place the stick away from you for a less smoky throw.
Safety
- Never unattended. Burn on a heat-resistant surface, away from anything flammable.
- Children and pets. Keep out of reach, and ventilate the room.

Our Take
Warm, spiced and tropical, the incense equivalent of a holiday you cannot currently take. Solid wood and resin bound with slippery elm rather than a bamboo core dipped in perfume.

Frequently asked
What is the difference between the Kit and the Refill?
The Burner Kit is 30 sticks in a glass tube plus a MAHO button burner, and each stick burns about 60 minutes. The Refill is 60 sticks with no burner, and each burns about 30 minutes. Both give you roughly 30 hours in total.
What does Bali Bungalow smell like?
Warm and tropical: cinnamon, pepper and mandarin with jasmine, ylang ylang and clary sage, over vanilla, amber and sandalwood.
What are the sticks made from?
A base of natural woods, sandalwood, agarwood and whitewoods, with a natural aromatic resin or balsam, bound with slippery elm bark powder. No bamboo core, which is why there is no acrid undertone.
Is it scented with essential oils?
Not purely. The fragrance load is up to 10% and can be a blend of synthetic and essential oils depending on the scent, so we will not call it a pure essential-oil product.
Can I make one last less time?
Yes, break a stick in half. And for a bigger space or a stronger throw, burn more than one.
Is there anything to be careful about?
Never leave burning incense unattended, keep it on a heat-resistant surface away from anything flammable, and out of reach of children and pets. Any incense makes smoke, so ventilate the room. If someone in the house has asthma, this is not the right fragrance format.
