Govinda - Benzoin Tree Sap Gum Incense - 1 Lb

Good transaction! Great scent! Great value!

Like: I love the fragrance, it's light and pleasant without being overbearing or annoying. I'm going to enjoy processing this down for incense, etc.Dislike: The packaging allowed some dust from the product to escape and it was all over the other items that I had ordered inside the box. Fortunately, nothing was ruined and everything smells fantastic!I will definitely order more (and have it shipped in it's own box next time.)

This is a very low quality product and there is a lot of other materials mixed in with it and left behind as it burns. It does not smell good, and as other buyers have stated it smells like chemicals, mothballs to be exact. Save your money and look else where. Extremely dissatisfied with this.

Love the smell, love the price, love the effect it has on my mood.

Ive never owned true benzoin so i am not at liberty to say if this is or is not. The resin shipped as a large brick which was quite fun to break apart; however, upon crushing I discovered a powdery-sticky white substance that smelled like “too much perfume”. The mysterious white powder would smoke profusely when burned over a charcoal or candle burner (which I keep at a significantly lower temperature). Resin incense usually does not burn that easily. Along with that, whenever I would burn this resin my family would have breathing issues. I did do some experimenting and burned the other material the brick contained, which was a dark amber that was quite sticky. Burning only the amber-esque material breathing issues declined moderately. The smell of the incense also somewhat improved over incorporating the white powder when burning.I would not recommend this incense. Seldom does incense irritate the lungs quite like this one does.

Maybe its just me, but when i burned this the smell was not very appealing to me

I like Govinda resins. This is a nice scent. The price is great for the quantity and quality. I use a tea light and heavy duty foil and the resin burns for quite a while...syrupy. I quit using charcoal pucks as the emit too much smoke and don't keep.

Great quality, smells excellent.....almost like creamy sandalwood. Huge amount too, enough to last two years. **You will need a chisel to break it up tho- it is basically like a brick but burns well over coals.**All Govinda incense I have bought has been top quality, just like this.
