Padmini Dhoop Sticks - 12 Boxes of 10 Sticks Each - 2inch Regular Small Size

Really cute little incense

When I was really young my mother was really into the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, and she used to take me to a Kriya Yoga center weekly where she'd buy this incense from the gift shop after class. She would burn this incense at home daily, and I loved it so much that I would put one of the small boxes of this incense next to my pillow so I could smell it as I fell asleep. The scent triggered an inner calm that, as a child, I didn't quite understand.I'm 30 now and for years I have been searching for this incense based solely on the memory of what the box looked like. I have purchased SO many different Indian and Tibetan incenses in the hopes of finding it, thinking that the possibility of changed packaging was probable. Yet, I never had any luck. I had forgotten that the incense I was looking for was smaller in length and had the holder on the box until recently. Finally, I came across the Padmini Dhoop Sticks and was immediately certain that I had found them!When I received them and opened them up to smell it, it was like being transported into the past...with memories and feelings overwhelmingly flooding around me in a wave. Indeed, I had found them and that inner calm and serenity I had felt as a child had been brought back full force.No other incense has come close to comparing and no other incense I have found has a scent like these. I highly recommend trying them out.They have been the perfect incense to burn while meditating, which I'm sure has a lot to do with my memories brought back by the scent.I have also put a box in my pillow case so that I can, once again, fall asleep in relaxation and peace. Now that I have found the, I will be ordering them as long as they (and I) exist.

This scent is unmatched. A great scent — doesn’t smell like bonfire smoke like a lot of cheaper incense does.

I thought I was just repurchasing the original but these were half size. Cute and compact. Smell just as nice. I like them cuz I was often breaking the longer ones for shorter useage but my husband thinks they’re silly.

Pleasant and extraordinary scent. There are other better options, but for the price, these are quick burning and linger for a few hours.

I didn't want to burn an entire incense stick for my daily practice. And I didn't want to extinguish it halfway either. Enter these perfect little sticks! They last the perfect amount of time. About 20-30 minutes. I love the box how it functions as a portable incense stand! You can burn incense anywhere. I will buy many more of these, I love the smell too.

Stinks so bad.

What a great random purchase. Lovely strong incense smell and just burns long enough for a subtle use. Perfect for the bathroom and bedroom without being overpowering. This will be a staple in our home.
