Hem Spearmint Incense Sticks

A well-established incense house. Hem is one of the longer-running Indian incense manufacturers, known for hand-dipped sticks made in small batches.

An easy way to try a new scent. The single-pack format lets you test a fragrance without committing to a large bundle.

Traditional production. The fragrance is worked into the paste itself rather than sprayed on afterward, so it holds through the stick's burn.

Pair it with a proper holder from our Incense Holder & Burner collection.

Spearmint Note. A crisp, invigorating spearmint scent, dipped by hand into each stick rather than machine-extruded.

20 Sticks per Pack. A standard-size pack, about 20 grams total, enough for regular use without committing to a large bundle.

~30-40 Minute Burn. A typical burn time for a standard round dipped incense stick.

Hand-Dipped in India. Made using Hem's traditional dipping methods, the same production line behind the brand's wider incense range.

Light the tip. Hold a flame to the tip of the stick for 10-15 seconds until it catches.

Let it settle to an ember. Blow out the flame gently — the tip should glow and release a steady stream of smoke.

Set it in a holder. Place the stick upright or at an angle in a heat-safe incense holder, away from drafts, curtains, and anything flammable.

Let it burn undisturbed. A full stick takes roughly 30-40 minutes to burn down; avoid moving it while lit.

Extinguish and store. Once burned down, confirm the ember is fully out before leaving the room, and store remaining sticks away from heat and humidity.
