A living patina: saffron, amber, oak, tonka, coffee bean and musk, rolled by hand in small batches. Rich, smoky and entirely unsubtle about it.
Key Features
- Handmade. Rolled in small batches by the Brass Earth team in Columbus, Ohio.
- Burn time. Over an hour per stick.
- Quantity. 15 sticks per box, so more than 15 hours from one box.
- Made to order. Each box is rolled fresh rather than sitting in a warehouse.
Pūrē Standard
- Genuinely handmade, not factory-made. Rolled in small batches by an independent maker in a category otherwise dominated by high-volume overseas production. That is the reason we brought it in.
- Over an hour of burn per stick. Most mass-market incense is spent in 20 to 30 minutes, so one box here does the work of two or three.
- The scent is disclosed note by note. Saffron, amber, oak, tonka, coffee bean and musk, rather than an unnamed "fresh linen".
- Plain printed card box. No plastic window and no shrink wrap, which is simple packaging for a product that is mostly stick and scent.
- Where it sits in the range. This is a home-fragrance piece rather than a low-tox one: it is built on high-quality aroma oils rather than pure essential oils, and the maker does not publish the full composition. We stock it for the craft and the scent, and the Low-Tox score below reflects that honestly.

How to Use
- Light and blow out. Let the tip burn for a few seconds, then extinguish the flame.
- Use a holder. Something suitable that catches the ash.
- Ventilate. Burn in an aired room and never leave it unattended.
- A word on smoke. As with all incense it contains fine particulates, so ventilate the room and avoid burning around anyone with asthma or respiratory sensitivity.

Our Take
Saffron, amber, tonka, coffee bean and musk, which is to say the incense equivalent of a very good leather jacket. Rich, smoky and entirely unsubtle about it. Handmade in small batches, and not remotely a background scent.
