All Incense sticks are handmade! We use grade A fragrance oils to aide in our process of making the best possible scented Incense Sticks OUR PROCESS For every order it takes approximately 24-48 hours for the incense stick to absorb the scent, depending on the size of the order. We then allow the scented incense sticks to dry for another 24-48 hours for optimal burning. (If the incense sticks are still a little wet upon arrival, take them out of their bag and lay them in a sunny area to allow the complete drying of the sticks.) After we count 100 sticks for every package we put them in 1 package.
